Abstract

We describe a two step method that uses thermally driven exchange plating to repair open copper circuits with local heating produced by ac Joule losses. The first step utilizes a non-acid copper sulfate solution to grow copper dendrites across the open circuit. This electrical “bridge” is then strengthened using additional plate-up in acid copper sulfate.
