Immersion Silver Process Cuts Rework
March 31, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
WEST HAVEN, Conn. — The AlphaSTAR immersion silver process from Enthone, Inc., a business of Cookson Electronics, selectively deposits silver coating and is said to maintain high first-pass yields without exposed copper—eliminating rework. The process includes a special cleaner with micro-etch, pre-dip and plating steps. Users can solder eutectic and lead-free assemblies using this tarnish-resistant process. Other features include a final rinse for clean, low-ionic boards and compatibility with existing solder masks and microvia technology.
