MacDermid Alpha to Exhibit, Present at TPCA and IMPACT
December 14, 2021 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions that provides unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, will be exhibiting at the Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) exhibition and will present at the IMPACT Conference, co-located with TPCA at the Nangang Exhibition Center Taipei, Taiwan, December 21-23, 2021.
Maddux Sy, Applications Manager for the Metallization group, will be presenting “ RDL and Pillar Fabrication from a Versatile Copper Plating Process“. The paper discusses the challenges fabricators face not only in meeting the copper plating performance requirements but also in reducing manufacturing process costs.
Interested participants can stop by booth K606 in Hall 1 to talk to our industry experts about the latest offerings from MacDermid Alpha. Featured in the booth will be the MacDermid Enthone brand of product offerings that enable the most complex printed circuit board and IC Substrate designs. Highlighted will be the entire Systek family of high performance build-up processes for IC Substrate RDL that provide multiple process flows for differet materials, Affinity 2.0, the new Affinity Gold 3.0 and the soon to be released Affinity Select, the OSP compatible selective ENIG process. Also featured will be the full portfolio of MacuSpec acid copper products that meet all applications, from ultra-aspect ratio conformal plating down to filling the smallest blind microvias.

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
