There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: Electroplating is a ubiquitous technology used to create a wide variety of microstructures. The materials-of-construction range from elemental metals and metal alloys to polymers. Furthermore, electroplating is a relatively simple technology to implement and is adaptable to many types of substrates and initial conditions. In this seminar, we will discuss the application of electroplating technologies to microstructure fabrication. The discussion will include the basics of electroplating as applied to microstructure fabrication, more specialized electroplating techniques, and microsystem applications of electroplating.
