The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of the composition of electroless pure Ni solutions on the microstructure and electrical conductivity of deposited films. The carbon, sulfur and boron contents included as impurities in the samples have been measured, showing changes in the carbon content ranging from 0.01 to 0.19% by mass. The crystal structure of the deposited films was investigated by means of cross-sectional TEM observation, and investigation of the obtained electron diffraction patterns reveals that the crystals of the deposited films are generally oriented randomly. The grain size is uniform throughout the investigated film (1ƒÊm), though the diameter varies from 10 nm to 120 nm with changes in the solution composition: relatively coarse grains are observed in films deposited from a solution with a high hydrazine concentration. The addition of saccharin sodium generally induces grain growth. The results of the measurements suggest an adequate correlation between the carbon content and the grain size, and it has become evident that the electrical conductivity of the films decreases linearly with an increase of the carbon content.
