Effect of Substrate Configuration on the Grain Structure and Morphology of Electrodeposited Ni for Prototyping LIGA

چکیده
Synchrotron X-ray lithographic molding of PMMA-Ti/Cu/Ti substrates has been developed and used in the electrodeposition of Ni microparts for prototype LIGA development at SNL, CA. Alternative molding processes that minimize xray beam line use and reduce processing time are of interest for the rapid fabrication of large quantities of microparts. The objective of this investigation is to examine, archive, and compare the grain structure and morphology of deposits produced from four different molding technologies currently under development. We conclude that deposit microstructure and uniformity are greatly influenced by substrate material and design configuration. The findings are summarized below.

EFFECT OF SUBSTRATE TEXTURE AND DEPOSITION CURRENT DENSITY ON PROPERTIES OF NiNANOCRYSTALLINE ELECTRODEPOSITS
Abstract: Nickel was electrodeposited onto copper substrates with high {111} and {400} peak intensities. The grain size of coatings deposited onto the copper substrate with a higher {111} peak intensity was finer. Spheroidized pyramid morphology was obtained at low current densities on both copper substrates. By increasing the deposition current density, grain size of the coating was increased ...

Abstract: current densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the codeposition mechanism oftungsten in Ni-W deposition is the reduction of tungsten oxide which changed to the reduction of tungsten-containingion complexes at higher current densities. In Co-W electrodeposition, the tungsten codeposition takes place viareduction of tungsten oxide, although, the role...

In this research, nanocrystalline Co-Fe coatings were electrodeposited on copper substrate. The influence of current density on different properties of the films at two pH levels was investigated. All the coatings showed nodular structure with rougher morphology at higher current densities. Due to anomalous deposition at higher current density, the amount of iron content increased and reached i...

Ni-W coatings, compared to pure nanocrystalline Ni, exhibit higher hardness and wear resistance. In some cases, these coatings are considered as environmental friendly alternatives for hard chromium coating. Till now, most of Ni-W coatings have been produced by direct current electrodeposition from alkaline baths. In this study square pulse current was used for deposition of Ni-W precipitates f...
