NB Semiplate NIMN 100 Nickel-Manganese Plating Solution   General Information NB Semiplate NIMN 100 is a nickelsulfamate electroplating process, which incorporates small amounts of Mn in the deposit. While properties of pure Ni deposits change dramatically during temperature treatments, the Mn content stabilises the hardness, ductility and yield strength under temperature treatments as high as 600°C. Secondly, such properties do not dramatically change in operation. Therefore, the process is well suited for Ni films used for micro-electromechanical functions, as required for sensors and actuators in microsystem technology. The process can be operated for rather columnar growth without grain refiner and rather rough surface condition; this is the ready-to-use product status of NB Semiplate NIMN 100 or for fine-grained films and semi-rough surface using the grain refiner NI 100 ADD. AGENT NB Semiplate NIMN 100 is manufactured to meet the requirements associated with the electroforming processes for the semiconductor industry and microsystem technology (MST). The NB Semiplate NIMN 100 process contains an anode activating agent in controlled amounts to enhance anode corrosion and prevent anode passivation. Deposit properties are easy to control and maintain. NOTE: NB Semiplate NIMN 100 is a ready-to-use product. It is not necessary to add other materials for the initially start of the application. Over time, it may be necessary depending on the electrolyte and application to add additives (see data sheet). With adjusted photoresist processing, the NB Semiplate NINM 100 is compatible with common AZ®- and TI resists. Product Properties High purity nickel depositions High stability of mechanical properties under temperature and in operation High ductility High hardness Fine grained or large grained Medium mechanical stress impact of Mn incorporation (depending on operation condition) No anode passivation Good throwing power Further Information MSDS: Safety Data Sheet NB Semiplate NIMN 100 english Sicherheitsdatenblatt NB Semiplate NIMN 100 german TDS: Technical Data Sheet NB Semiplate NIMN 100 english Application Notes: Instruction NBT Sample Service for Plating Baths english Anleitung NBT Probenservice für Galvanikbäder german Plating Theory english Galvanik Theorie german Plating and Photoresist english Galvanik und Fotolacke german Further Information about Processing
