Numerical algorithms for modelling electrodeposition: Tracking the deposition front under forced convection from megasonic agitation
The originality is the development of multi-physics models to support process design, optimisation of process variables, and design rules. The work is significant as for the first time this allowed the feasibility of using transducers in the electroplating bath to promote electro-deposition and better quality design of printed circuit boards for high performance applications. This has led to our industrial partner - Merlin Circuits - to implement this technology (Dennis Price, Quality Director, Merlin Circuits, dennis.price@merlincircuit.co.uk). Output led onto the award of the DTA Aspect Project (Funded under EP/C534212/1) which led to award of PhD for N Strusevich.
