Abstract

A method and device are provided for determining a parameter for the reproducible production of raised contact metallizations (24, 25) on terminal areas of a substrate. Metallization material is deposited in a metallization bath. A test substrate is employed having at least two terminal areas adjacent at a defined spacing. The substrate is introduced into the metallization bath (10) and the parameter is determined from the variation in an electrical quantity as a consequence of an electrical contact resulting to from the deposition of the metallization material for building up the contact metallizations (24, 25) on the adjacent terminal areas.
