Study Development of Measurement and Acquisition Circuits for Characterising Potentiostat for Electroplating Solutions

Abstract

A potentiostat is an electronic instrument that plays a critical role in electroplating by regulating the potential applied to the substrate and providing accurate measurements of the electrochemical parameters involved. In this project, our purpose is to study and design the basic fundamental circuit of potentiostat instrument. The different part of the complete potentiotat instrument began with the potentiostat measuring circuit of the current passing through the system. A second important designed circuit have to monitor and control of the electroplating process. Additionally in our electronic analysis and design we have taken account of the potentiostat's ability to measure and monitor electrochemical parameters aids in the analysis and optimization of the electroplating process. Above this, we have modelized electrochemical cell using a lumped model for several position in the I-V curve to complete the loop of our analysis. The simulator design tool used in our simulation is PCB Design and Circuit Simulator Software – Proteus .
