electrodeposición
- Researchers are exploring electrodeposition as a method to improve the durability of electronic components.
Examples
-
We review here the challenges of filling trenches and vias with Cu without creating a void or seam, and the discovery that electrodeposition can be engineered to give filling performance significantly better than that achievable with conformal step coverage.

Taking the view that the surface concentration of the adsorbates responsible for retarding electrodeposition is determined by a dynamic balance between the arrival of fresh additive and its consumption, we relate the degree of kinetic inhibition directly to the flux of inhibitor N A.

Morphology
electrodeposition = deposition (semi-transparent) = electro + deposit + ion
The word is formed transparently from electro- plus deposition, but the sense is a specialized technical term from electrochemistry.
Etymology
Electrodeposition breaks into electro- meaning 'electric' and deposit meaning 'to put down'. So electrodeposition is the process of 'putting down' a layer of material on an electrode by using electric current, which is why it is used to coat metal parts.
