  • Bath analysis
    Patent number: 7384535
    Abstract: Analytical methods are disclosed for determining the quantity of brightener and leveler in an electroplating bath in the presence of other organic additives, such as accelerators, brighteners and suppressors. The methods improve the reproducibility of measuring brighteners and levelers in electroplating baths.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2008
    Assignee: Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials LLC
    Inventors: Wade Sonnenberg, Leon R. Barstad, Raymond Cruz, Gary Hamm, Mark J. Kapeckas, Erik Reddington, Katie Price, Thomas Buckley, Trevor Goodrich
  • Analysis method
    Publication number: 20060151327
    Abstract: Analytical methods are disclosed for determining the quantity of organic components in a bath. The analytical methods work over a broad concentration range of organic components and are sensitive in measuring organic bath components at low concentrations.
    Type: Application

  • Reverse pulse plating composition and method
    Publication number: 20060081475
    Abstract: A composition and method for electroplating a metal on a substrate. The composition has a chloride to brightener concentration ratio of from 20:1 to 125:1. The method of electroplating, which employs the composition, employs pulse patterns that improve physical properties of metal surfaces.
    Type: Application
