Nickel Plated Copper Heat Spreader Surface Characteristics

Nickel plated copper heat spreader acts as a medium to dissipate heat from silicon die towards heat-sink. Electroless nickel plating requires catalytic activation before the nickel can be deposited onto copper. Different catalytic activation techniques such as galvanic initiation and thin nickel-copper electrodeposition have diverse impact on the thermal performance of the heat spreader. Surfac...

Spectrophotometric Study of Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc and Lead Complexes with Methylthymol Blue in Binary Water-Methanol Mixtures

The complexation reactions between methylthymol blue (MTB) and Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions have been studied in different water-methanol mixtures at pH 4.45 and 25 °C by a spectrophotometric technique. The stepwise stability constants of the resulting 1:1 and 2:1 (metal ion to ligand) complexes were determined from the absorban...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study of non-stoichiometric nickel and nickel-copper spinel manganites

The surface of non-stoichiometric nickel and nickel–copper spinel manganites has been investigated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The oxidation states of the nickel, copper and manganese cations present on the surface of the samples were 21 1 determined from the analysis of the M 2p core levels (M5Ni, Cu, Mn). In particular, both Cu and Cu were evidenced in the 3 / 2 structure where...

Synthesis and characterization of non-stoichiometric nickel-copper manganites

Non-stoichiometric nickel–copper manganites Ni Cu Mn h O were synthesized by thermal decomposition of x y 32x2y 3d / 4 41d mixed Ni Cu Mn C O , nH O oxalates in air at low temperature (623–673 K). X-ray diffraction showed that, x / 3 y / 3 (32x2y) / 3 2 4 2 for a nickel content x $ 0.1, the oxalates precipitated presented a mixed crystal structure up to a limit value of copper Ni extent, wherea...
