[mems-talk] Re: Copper plating on Aluminum seed layer

[Eric Sanjuan]

 hi Sebastian,

 I think you will need to zincate the Aluminum before you can get plating
 to occur. Google search Zincate or Double Zincate Process, it should point
 you in the correct direction. Also please see

 Hope this helps.
