Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
An additive-free fast precipitating electrolyte bath for precipitating palladium layers comprising at least about 10 g/l palladium metal in the form of a palladium tetra-amino complex and a phosphate compound which provides an amount of phosphate anion which would be equivalent to that provided by between about 20 g/l and about 80 g/l of ammonium phosphate; said bath having a pH of between about 7 and 9.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
An additive-free fast precipitating electrolyte bath for precipitating palladium layers comprising at least about 10 g/l palladium metal in the form of a palladium tetra-amino complex and a phosphate compound which provides an amount of phosphate anion which would be equivalent to that provided by between about 20 g/l and about 80 g/l of ammonium phosphate; said bath having a pH of between about 7 and 9.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The bath of claim 1 wherein the phosphate compound is supplied by any bath soluble phosphate compound.
