I'd start with a Radiation Safety Book! -- Isn't that stuff radioactive? Which Isotope are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Fridman [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 3:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] electroplating newbie Greetings! I am a BioMed student so know little about electroplating. I have two electrochemistry books on my desk, and two inorganic chem. books, and a power supply from TecNu on the way here for 2-week trial. I need to plate Cobalt 10 micron - wide and deep tracks. Hard Cobalt, actually, but that is for the future. Would someone please advise me on where I should start looking for techniques and required chemistry? It seems that the books I have assume prior knowledge of how to set everything up and go deep into "tweaking" for best results, while all I want is to have some understanding of what I need to do to set the system up, like where to buy the bath (and why?), etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thank you very much in advance for your time and assistance! g. ------------------ Greg Fridman School of Biomedical Engineering, Science & Health Systems BioApplications Group, Drexel Plasma Institute, Drexel University Office: 215-895-0576 Cell: 312-371-7947 Home: 215-387-3161 AIM: zegogga MSN: [log in to unmask] --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
