The effect of electroplating conditions on the electrical properties of the tantalum electrolytic capacitors (TECs) was comprehensively studied. The results demonstrated that incorporating a copper metal layer into the structure of the capacitors significantly reduced the ESR of TECs. By employing an electroplating voltage of 2 V, a current ...
A new type of capacitor, based on a high-aspect-ratio 3-dimensional micromachining process, is presented. Submicron layers of alternating metals are deposited by an automated robotic electroplating system. Selective etching of one of the two metals leaves a highly laminated structure with large surface area. To demonstrate the increased surface area, …
electroplating. (1) Copper sulfate concentration and selection of addi-tives in copper electroplating bath were the key factors to allow complete and uniform filling of the via-holes and trenches of ULSI devices.

Plating: Using an electroplating process, the termination is plated with a layer of nickel and then a layer of tin. The nickel is a barrier layer between the termination and the tin plating. The tin is used to prevent the nickel from oxidizing. Testing: The parts are tested and sorted to their correct capacitance tolerances. At this point the capacitor manufacturing is complete. The parts ...
