Faraday’s Law Applied to Cleaning

This paper is a re-publication of the the 2nd William Blum Lecture, presented at the 47th AES Annual Convention in Los Angeles by Dr. A. Kenneth Graham, 1959 AES Scientific Achievement Award recipient. While Faraday's Law had long been applied to electrodeposition processes, Dr. Graham took it a step further, considering its usage in the electrocleaning of various metal substrates in terms of electrical charge passed during the cleaning operation.

Nanoscale Characterization of Thin Immersion Silver Coatings on Copper Substrates

The rather long history of silver plating, both by electrodeposition and via immersion plating, started with the cyanides. Though such compounds are rather hazardous, they are still used today for many metal plating tasks in the microelectronic industries. New trends, aim at replacing the cyanide. Using new complexing agents and additives in the newer industrial immersion silver baths, there should be less concern that immersion silver processes would be inappropriate or less advantageous than gold in high-tech applications in the microelectronic industries.
