Abstract:
The invention relates to an aqueous plating bath composition and a method for depositing a palladium layer by electroless plating onto a substrate. The aqueous plating bath composition according to the invention comprises a source for palladium ions, a reducing agent for palladium ions and a cyanide group containing aromatic compound. The aqueous plating bath composition according to the invention has an improved stability against undesired decomposition due to the cyanide group containing aromatic compounds while keeping the deposition rate for palladium at the desired satisfying value. The aqueous plating bath composition has also a prolonged life time. The cyanide group containing aromatic compounds of the invention allow for adjusting the deposition rate to a satisfying range over the bath life time and for electrolessly depositing palladium layers at lower temperatures.

Claim (Index 19):
The method for adjusting the deposition rate according to  claim 18  further comprising one or more of steps\n c.i) determining the deposition rate and/or the concentration of the at least one cyanide group containing aromatic compound according to Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) within the aqueous electroless palladium deposition bath according to step c); \n c.ii) comparing the value for deposition rate and/or concentration of the at least one cyanide group containing aromatic compound according to Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) determined according to step c.i) with pre-set corresponding threshold values; \n c.iii) determining the deviation of the value for deposition rate and/or concentration of the at least one cyanide group containing aromatic compound according to Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) from their corresponding threshold values; \n c.iv) correlating the deviation determined according to step c.iii) to an amount of the at least one cyanide group containing aromatic compound according to Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) to be added to the aqueous electroless palladium deposition bath in step d).
