Copper electrodeposition is a vital process in the fabrication of microelectronic interconnects, battery components and decorative coatings. By utilising carefully formulated electrolytes and ...

A reduction of silver consumption in PV production is required on the way to terawatt scale. Given this, the time may have come for the commercialization of new copper plating technologies – doing ...

Cyclic voltammetric stripping (CVS) analysis can be used to facilitate the detection of mercaptopropylsulfonic acid (MPS). MPS is the breakdown product of bis ...

We would all like to 3D print in metal, but for now, the equipment to do that is out of reach for most of us. Instead of dealing with powder printers or metal-bearing polymers, [Robert] has a simple ...

Modern power systems rely on copper and aluminium components that operate reliably over many years, without sudden drops in conductivity or unexpected failures. It is the well-designed coating ...

Various power electronics products are being designed every day for a range of applications. Increasingly, these projects are taking advantage of a growing trend in the printed circuit board industry: ...

Fraunhofer ISE development also uses recyclable aluminum for masking – removing need for problem polymers. Thin copper contacts mean the silicon layer does not experience much shading. The rising ...
