When depositing on Cu pads of printed circuit boards it efficiently protects against oxidation and preserves its solderability. The deposited layer has a thickness of only nominally 50 nm containing the Organic Metal conductive polymer polyaniline and silver. With 90 by volume polyaniline PAni is the major component of the deposited layer Ag is present equivalent to a 4 nm thickness. The Pani-Ag complex is deposited on Cu in form of about 100 nm small particles. Morphology electrochemical characteristics anti-oxidation and solderability results are reported. Keywords Conductive polymer Organic metal Nanoparticle Cu passivation Printed circuit board soldering Introduction Polyaniline is known as a conductive polymer and object of intensive studies for many years 1-4 . Especially the possibility of forming nanofibres from PAni has motivated many researchers 5 6 . The fact that PAni primarily exists in form of about 10 nm small nanoparticles 7 is less well known and has not inspired too much additional research B. Wessling El M. Thun C. Arribas-Sanchez S.

The same holds for the possibility to improve the electronic transport properties of PAni by dispersion which allows under appropriate conditions PAni to cross the insulator-to-metal transition and become a true metal .
