An electron microscope study and measurements of electrical resistivity have been performed on electrolessly deposited Ni-B thin films. In contrast to Ni-P films, the islands of Ni-B films show a marked internal structure. Ni-B films have higher electrical resistivity than equally thick Ni-P films.Electroless deposition of the nickel-boron system is possible using either alkali borohydrides or amine boranes as reducing agents. A survey of early work has been given by Goldie (1). More recent studies have been made by Fl~ chon et a~.(2-4), Petrov et al.(5), and Gorbunova et at.(6, 7). The as-deposited state of both Ni-P and Ni-B is highly disordered, and metastable in that heat-treatment irreversibly induces a state of higher crystallinity. In both systems, the initial state is a solid solution of phosphorus (8) or boron (4, 6) in nickel. For the deposits studied in this work the phosphorus and boron contents were about 20 and 25 per cent atomic, respectively.
