Abstract:
Copper surfaces upon which organic resins are electrophoretically deposited to serve as, e.g., plating or etch resists in the course of manufacturing printed circuits, are preliminarily provided with a uniformizing/passivating passivating coating layer, such as a layer of copper oxide or phosphate conversion coating, over which the organic resin is electrophoretically deposited, resulting in the organic resin being deposited with substantial uniformity in thickness and properties.
