    摘要: Improved methods and apparatus for cleaning substrates and enhancing diffusion limited reaction at substrate surfaces use piezoelectric transducers operating in the gigasonic domain. The resonator assemblies include plural transducer stacks each including a thin film piezoelectric element coupled to a resonator plate that faces the substrate. At the disclosed frequencies and powers used, Eckart or Rayleigh streaming can be induced in a liquid treatment medium without substantial generation of cavitation.

    摘要: An apparatus for electroplating a rotogravure cylinder out of a plating solution is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plating tank adapted to support the cylinder and to contain a plating solution so that the cylinder is at least partially disposed into the plating solution. The apparatus also includes a non-dissolvable anode at least partially disposed within the plating solution. A current source is electrically connected to the non-dissolvable anode and to the cylinder. An ultrasonic system may be provided to introduce wave energy into the plating solution includes at least one transducer element mountable within the tank and a power generator adapted to provide electrical energy to the transducer element. A holding tank having a circulation pump, a mixing system and heating and cooling elements for the plating solution may be provided.

    摘要: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to improved electroplating techniques. More particularly, certain example embodiments of this invention relate to electroplating techniques that incorporate a homogenization unit to help maintain an emulsion within an electrolyte solution (e.g., a nickel electrolyte solution) used in creating a finish (e.g., a satin nickel finish) in an electroplating process. By varying the operational characteristics of the unit (including, for example, pressure, velocity, pore size, ultrasound wave frequency, sonication time, etc.), it becomes possible to control the emulsion particle size distribution so as, for example, increase or decrease the diameter of such particles and thereby resulting in a deposit with a desired surface topography. It will be appreciated that the variations in size will cause variation in surface topography which, in turn, will change the surface appearance.
