Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03018880A1] The invention concerns an aqueous electrolytic solution for electrochemical deposition of gold or of its alloys comprising at least a soluble gold compound designed for electrolytic deposition and, optionally at least a secondary metal compound designed for co-deposition in the form of a gold alloy. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises 0.3 to 3 moles per mole of gold contained in the electrolytic solution of an organic compound comprising one or two aldehyde functions, said organic compound being: either glyoxal, or an organic compound comprising 3 to 20 carbon atoms and one or two aldehyde functions in the form: of a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched aliphatic group, or a group containing at least a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic cycle, said organic compound may further include at least a heteroelement selected among oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus or be in the form of a salt, in particular a sulphonate. The presence of said organic compound enables to increase the speed of electrodeposition of gold or of its alloys and/or to decrease contact resistance. The invention also concerns a method for electrodeposition of gold or of a gold alloy comprising electrolysis of such an electrolytic solution.
