“…In this article, we systematically investigate the effect of amine borane reducing agents on Cu electroless deposition on −CH 3 -, −COOH-, and −OH-terminated SAMs. In ELD, amine borane reducing agents are very versatile ,,, and can be used to deposit metals including gold, , nickel, ,,, silver, cobalt, , palladium, , iron, copper, alloys, ,, semiconductors, , and insulators . Other advantages of amine borane reducing agents include their ability to produce relatively pure metallic films, their wide range of operating conditions, and their reduced environmental impact .…”
