	Modeling a Copper-deposition System Replisaurus Technologies AB, Kista, Sweden Only through advanced packaging techniques can we take advantage of state-of-the-art microelectronic devices. The flip-chip method has become a cost-effective...
	Electrochemical Machining in Appliance Manufacturing Royal Philips Electronics NV, Drachten, Netherlands Behind your clean, close shave there is an enormous amount of high technology, even in electric shavers that have been around for decades. On its...
	Reduced Metal Consumption in Electroplating Saves Big Money PEM, Siaugues, France Given the scarcity and price developments of today’s metals, virtually all of them can be counted as being ‘precious’. As a result, electroplating firms...
	ArcelorMittal Breaks Down the Physics of Corrosion Arcelormittal, France Researchers at Arcelormittal, France use modeling with COMSOL to better understand the mechanism behind delamination and underpaint corrosion and determine...

	Pacemaker Electrode This model illustrates the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for the modeling of ionic current distribution problems in electrolytes, in this case human tissue. The problem is exemplified on a pacemaker electrode, which actually consists of two...
	Current Distribution in a Chlor-Alkali Membrane Cell The chlor-alkali membrane process is one of the largest processes in industrial electrolysis with production of roughly 40 million metric tons of both chlorine and caustic soda per year. Chlorine’s largest use is in the production of...
	Copper Deposition in a Trench This model demonstrates the use of moving meshes in the application of copper electrodeposition on circuit boards. In these environments, the presence of cavities or 'trenches' are apparent. The model makes use of the Nernst-Planck...
