Abstract

The characteristics of the electroplated nickel were investigated for the MEMS applications. Nickel sulfate bath was used and saccharine was added as the brightener. The effects of the brightener concentration were investigated by comparison of the surface morphology and the hardness of the electroplated nickel. The polarization characteristics were also investigated. The best results were obtained at 1g/$\ell$ saccharin addition.
