Abstract

Effects of plating conditions (dispersant concentration, plating time, and ultrasonication) on electroless Cu plating on SiC fabric woven by crossing of SiC continuous fibers vertically were studied. The ultrasonic dispersion treatment not only did not improve the dispersion of the SiC fibers, but also did not change the plating thickness. The ultrasonication in the pretreatment step of electroless plating did not improve the dispersion of the fibers, while the ultrasonication in the plating step enhanced the dispersion of the fibers and decreased the thickness of the Cu films. It was possible to control the thickness of the Cu coating layer as well as the dispersion of the fibers in the fabric by changing the plating conditions such as dispersant concentration, plating time, and ultrasonication, but it was very difficult to coat copper on the intersection of vertical fibers in the fabric.
