Abstract: A system and method of using electrochemical additive manufacturing to add interconnection features, such as wafer bumps or pillars, or similar structures like heatsinks, to a plate such as a silicon wafer. The plate may be coupled to a cathode, and material for the features may be deposited onto the plate by transmitting current from an anode array through an electrolyte to the cathode. Position actuators and sensors may control the position and orientation of the plate and the anode array to place features in precise positions. Use of electrochemical additive manufacturing may enable construction of features that cannot be created using current photoresist-based methods. For example, pillars may be taller and more closely spaced, with heights of 200 ?m or more, diameters of 10 ?m or below, and inter-pillar spacing below 20 ?m. Features may also extend horizontally instead of only vertically, enabling routing of interconnections to desired locations.

In some examples, a method comprises flowing an electrolyte solution into the gap formed by an electrode array and a deposition electrode and depositing (electroplating) a target material onto the deposition electrode. The method also comprises changing one or more characteristics of the electrolyte solution within the system, e.g., to remove deposition byproducts, replenish consumed components, and/or change the solution composition to modify various properties of the deposited target material (e.g., composition, morphology) without major changeovers within the system. These electrolyte changes can be performed dynamically while the system continues to operate. The changed characteristics can be acid concentration, feedstock ion concentration, additive concentration, temperature, and flow rate.

Abstract: Printhead for a 3D manufacturing system that uses metal electrodeposition to construct parts; embodiments utilize a grid of anodes to achieve high quality parts with features that may be small and detailed. To support grids with thousands or millions of anodes, the printhead may use matrix control with row and column drivers similar to display backplanes. Unlike display backplanes where the design goal is to display images using minimal current, the printhead may be optimized for high current density for fast electrodeposition, and for anode longevity. Current density may exceed 1000 mA per cm-squared, at least an order of magnitude greater than that of display backplanes. Anode longevity may be enhanced by using relatively large anodes compared to the grid pitch of the printhead, by lengthening the conductive paths through anodes, or both. Embodiments may be constructed by adding anode and insulation layers on top of matrix-controlled switching circuits.
