Electrodeposition of Co thin Film

Electrodeposition kinetics of Co thin film were investigated and magnetic coercivity of the deposited films were studied using potentiostatic technique and magnetic hyteresis loop measurements. Results showed that the nucleation mechanism of the electrodeposition process changed from instantaneous mode to progressive mode when potential was changed from –0.7 V to –0.8 V. The magnetic coercivity Hc increases with deposition time and the film with Hc < 15 Oe can be obtained with deposition time t < 5 s.

Influences of electrodeposition parameters and anealling temperature on magnetic properties of the electrodeposited thin film CoNi were investigated. Results show that coercive force Hc attains the maximum value when the concentration ratio of metals in the electrolyte is [Co2+] : [Ni 2+] = 0.2 : 0.8 ÷ 0.4 : 0.6. The presence of Sacharin in electrolyte enhances the coercive force (Hc) of the electrodeposited layer. The increase of layer thickness results the decrease of Hc.
