Tin whisker mitigation by means of a post-electroplating electrochemical oxidation treatment by Dan Haspel, Mark Ashworth, Liang Wu, Geoffrey Wilcox, Roger J. Mortimer

“…There are very few studies that have investigated directly the effect of an oxide film on tin whisker growth, since the ‘cracked oxide theory’ was proposed by Tu in 19941. The current study has investigated the effect of an electrochemically produced oxide on tin whisker growth, for both Sn-Cu electrodeposits on Cu and pure Sn electrodeposits on brass. …”
