The electrochemical deposition (ECD) equipment market for IC packaging is heating up as 2.5D, 3D and fan-out technologies begin to ramp. Applied Materials recently rolled out an ECD system for IC ...

Electroplating is a simple and low-cost process that produces a uniform and dense coating with good adhesion to the substrate. This method is also suitable for coating complex-shaped interconnects.

Now that his new metal-plating system is all polished up and promises to revolutionize many industrial processes, Physicist Donald M. Mattox of Albuquerque’s Sandia Corp. is faced with a persistent ...

Hollow nanosized needles, or nanostraws, are a promising tool for opening up tiny, temporary holes in cell membranes to deliver molecules or sample a cell’s contents. Nanostraws could also deliver ...

Visiting a chrome plating shop conjures up images of giant buffing wheels, bubbling vats and parts dangling from wires, and while all of those things contribute to the overall process they are just ...

AT a meeting of the Royal Society of Arts on February 2, a paper by Mr. A. Rosenberg was read upon an improved method of electroplating. Mr. Rosenberg dispenses altogether with the plating bath and ...
