Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping applications
Cyclic voltammetric stripping (CVS) is an electrochemical technique used for analyzing the content of organic additives in plating baths. Our experts have compiled various application documents on CVS applications for different additives.
- AN-V-242brightRC – Advanced brightener analysis with a response curve
brightRC enables reliable CVS (or CPVS) brightener quantification without repeated standard additions, especially for additive systems with nonlinear signal behavior. By using external response curve (RC) calibration and flexible regression, it avoids systematic errors inherent to linear standard addition methods and significantly reduces analysis time. This makes brightRC ideal for high throughput routine control in stable copper plating baths.

- AN-V-202Determination of suppressor in acid copper baths by smartDT
The determination of suppressor with dilution titration (DT) involves numerous additions with standard solution or sample to reach the evaluation ratio. Usually fixed, equidistant addition volumes are used. With smartDT, variable addition volumes are used that are automatically calculated by the software. At the beginning, the volumes are bigger. Towards the evaluation ratio, the addition volume becomes smaller to guarantee a good accuracy of the result. The operator defines the first and the smallest addition volume to be used. All volumes in between are calculated by the software considering the progress of the determination. Using smartDT with intelligent addition volumes, the determination of suppressor can be significantly accelerated with the same or even better accuracy than with the classic DT. The time saving per determination is between 20 and 40%.

For the past three decades, Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping (CVS) has been the standard practice for analyzing organic additives in electroplating copper baths in the circuit board and wafer plating industries. The variations in the compositions of such baths have created a need for more optimized method development routines. New advancements in the hardware and software protocols for CVS have simplified the overall process of method optimization to a great extent. In this study, the process of method optimization is discussed in conjunction with these protocols.
