The inhomogeneous magnetic field landscape above magnetically patterned exchange bias (EB) systems [1] was utilized to influence the electrochemical reaction between a copper sulfate solution and a tantalum layer in a laterally anisotropic way. Thus, a local change of the copper deposition rate due to the specially designed magnetic stray fields acting on the paramagnetic Cu2+ ions is initiated. For process optimization, parameters like ion concentration, deposition time, and tantalum layer thickness were varied and analyzed by optical microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. In all of the performed experiments, a significant influence of the EB system’s magnetic pattern and, therefore, surface properties on the electrochemical reaction could be observed. This novel concept appears to be a promising method for the controlled growth of metallic nanowires.
