Abstract

A summary of the recent work on laser-enhanced gold plating is presented. The purpose of the study has been to obtain rapid maskless plating on thick metal samples. Results will be described on the plating rates for a variety of laser and electrical parameters. The most recent work on a laser-jet plating system will be discussed. With this system, rates of up to 30 μm/s have been achieved on 8 mil thick Be-Cu samples.
