Electrochemical Deposition

Bottom-Up approach
Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Top-down and bottom-up methods are two approaches used in nanofabrication. In this course, synthesis techniques which are known as bottom-up approach are presented.
Overview
Bottom-up approach means a view from bottom(smaller) to top or up(larger). In this technique, a nanometric structure is formed by using methods of assembly or self-assembly. For example: all cells use enzymes to create DNA by taking constituent molecules and binding them together to make the final component. Moreover, the bottom-up approach provides the possibility for creating hierarchical and ordered nanostructures because of physicochemical interactions and self-assembly of molecules.

Booklet
Description
 It starts with the applications of electrochemical deposition method, it goes through the mechanism in details and focuses on electroplating method.
Mental Challenge
 Electroplating is based on electrochemical deposition. Does this mean it develops coatings by electrons?
