Reading time ( words)

MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global leader in high performance semiconductor chemistries and assembly materials, will exhibit total process solutions for emerging packaging at the IMAPS Conference, Fountain Hills, AZ, March 3−5, 2020.

MacDermid Alpha will highlight their entire portfolio of technologies from their MacDermid Enthone, Alpha, Kester, and Compugraphics brands essential to advanced semiconductor packaging and the markets it enables, such as 5G, mobile, smart automotive, high-performance computing, augmented and virtual reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). Showcased will be the recently released STAYDRY Z20 film, a unique getter which employs an active desiccant for water absorption dispersed in a flexible silicone polymer matrix. Also promoted will be the soon-to-be-released Systek UVF 100; a 2-in1 RDL via filling technology for IC substrates.

Dr. Kesheng Feng, Research Director for Metallization, will be presenting "Embedded Trace and RDL Copper Plating Process for Panel Level Packaging Applications" on Tuesday, March 3 at 3:00pm. The presentation will discuss how MacDermid Alpha is helping advanced packaging suppliers address challenges in fine line copper plating for panel level packaging designs.

MacDermid Alpha’s team of industry experts from their Circuitry and Semiconductor divisions will be available at booth #33/34 to discuss the challenges the semiconductor manufacturing sector faces as technology continues to push the limits of performance and miniaturization.

We were back in San Diego, maybe for a “long vacation,” as IPC APEX EXPO is in Anaheim next year. Before we get to Anaheim, though, let’s talk about the show: It was a great week. I spent Sunday and Monday visiting some excellent Professional Development courses. As you know, this is a fast-changing industry, and we have to keep learning to stay ahead. On Monday, I attended the Microvia Weak Interface/Reliability subcommittee, and on Tuesday, the Ultra-HDI Technology Committee.

Alpha Circuit is a PCB fabricator located in Elmhurst, Illinois. Given that the launch of a new PCB fab is a rare occasion these days, we caught up with the senior team—Prashant Patel, president and CEO; Steve Smith, general manager; Steve Ryan, sales and direct support—guiding the buildout of Alpha Circuit’s brand new 44,000 square foot facility. They discuss what goes into equipment selection and line design, and the timing couldn’t have been better. At press time, the new facility was on schedule for test production by the end of January 2023.

If you’ve ever experienced an electric car launching from a dead stop, felt the torque and acceleration that a motor made of magnets and copper coils can deliver over a combustion engine, then you’ll have a sense for how this year’s SMTAI took off—both literally and figuratively.
