Seedless electroplating on patterned silicon
نویسنده
چکیده
Nickel thin films have been electrodeposited without the use of an additional seed layer, on highly doped silicon wafers. These substrates conduct sufficiently well to allow deposition using a peripherical electrical contact on the wafer. Films 2 μm thick have been deposited using a nickel sulfamate bath on both n+and p+-type silicon wafers, where a series of trenches with different widths had been previously etched by plasma etching. A new, reliable and simple procedure based on the removal of the native oxide layer is presented which allows uniform plating of patterned substrates.

Ordered silicon microwire arrays grown from substrates patterned using imprint lithography and electrodeposition.
Silicon microwires grown by the vapor-liquid-solid process have attracted a great deal of interest as potential light absorbers for solar energy conversion. However, the research-scale techniques that have been demonstrated to produce ordered arrays of micro and nanowires may not be optimal for use as high-throughput processes needed for large-scale manufacturing. Herein we demonstrate the use ...
متن کامل160 Milliohm Thru-Wafer Interconnects with 10:1 Aspect Ratio
We present a novel approach for high-aspect ratio low resistance Thru-Wafer Interconnects for DoubleSided (TWIDS) fabrication of MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). The interconnects are formed by etching blind via holes in the handle substrate of an SOI (Silicon on Insulator) wafer, followed by filling the holes with copper, using sonic-assisted seedless copper electroplating process. This ...

r s a T a a Electrochemical methods were developed for the deposition of nanosilicon onto a 3D virus-structured nickel current collector. This nickel current collector is composed of self-assembled nanowire-like rods of genetically modifi ed tobacco mosaic virus (TMV1cys), chemically coated in nickel to create a complex high surface area conductive substrate. The electrochemically deposited 3D ...
متن کاملA Fully Integrated and Miniaturized Heavy-metal-detection Sensor Based on Micro-patterned Reduced Graphene Oxide
For this paper, a fully integrated and highly miniaturized electrochemical sensor was designed and fabricated on a silicon substrate. A solvothermal-assisted reduced graphene oxide named "TRGO" was then successfully micro-patterned using a lithography technique, followed by the electrodeposition of bismuth (Bi) on the surface of the micro-patterned TRGO for the electrochemical detection of heav...
متن کاملMEMS Post-Processing of MPW Dies using BSOI Carrier Wafers
Multi-project-wafer (MPW) services provide an economical route for prototyping of new electronic circuit designs. However, addition of MEMS functionality to MPW circuits by post-processing (also known as MEMS-last processing) is difficult and inefficient because MPW typically yields individual dies. One solution to this problem is to embed the MPW dies in a carrier wafer prior to MEMS processin...
