Abstract

A post-treatment method for copper on printed circuit boards is disclosed. The method comprises forming a cupric-based organometallic conversion coating on a copper surface of a printed circuit board, and then converting the cupric-based organometallic conversion coating to a cuprous-based organometallic conversion coating. The resulting cuprous-based organometallic conversion coating is desirable in that it improves copper to dielectric bond integrity.
