Pre-annealing effect of electroless Ni−B deposit as a diffusion barrier for electroplated Cu electrodes
Ni−B film of 1 μm thickness was electrolessly deposited on an electroplated Cu bus electrode. The film, which encapsulates the Cu bus electrodes, prevents Cu oxidation and serves as a diffusion barrier against...

Effect of Cu on the surface hardness of Ni−B coating for the strengthening of the Cu surface
In this paper, the effect of Cu on the decrease of the surface hardness of a Ni−B layer electrolessly coated was investigated. Ni3B crystallized at approximately 300 °C was decomposed to metallic Ni and free B af...
