Copper plating has been extensively employed in the fabrication of embedded packaging to reach high-density, high-speed, high performance electronic products. With through holes (TH) as well as blind ...

The electroplating intermediate is a material used in the electroplating process to adjust characteristics such as grain size, gloss, thickness and plating speed. Most of them are configured as ...

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, and laser-induced chemical liquid phase deposition onto glass. I'm using a ...

Since the end of the Second World War the use of plastics has increased remarkably due to a systematic exploitation of their principal advantages, i.e. lightness, flexibility and toughness, ease of ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion ...

Typically, dc power supplies provide a well-regulated current or voltage level that is preset and then the supply turned on and off as needed. This is the typical function of a power supply in an ...

A team of researchers created ultralight metallic microlattices back in 2011, and I tried to replicate their result using commercially available, off-the-shelf materials. The authors used a special ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
