Approaches to Overcome Nodules and Scratches on Wire Bondable Plating on PCBs

Initially adopted internal specifications for acceptance of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used for wire bonding was that there were no nodules or scratches allowed on the wire bond pads when .. read more

A Production Viable, Palladium Free Activation Process for Electroless Copper Deposition

For many years, the electroless copper process has been widely used by the PCB and package substrate industries, where a wide process window and proven product reliability has led to it bein .. read more

Recrystallisation and the Resulting Crystal Structures in Plated Microvias

Plated and filled microvias are a common feature in modern PCBs, so much so, that they are now considered as the industry norm as a means of achieving high-density designs for modern mobile .. read more

Semi-AdditivePCBProcessing: Process, Reliability Testing andApplications

The continued miniaturization of both packaging and component size in next-generation electronics presents a significant challenge for PCB designers and PCB fabricators. To effectively navig .. read more

Process Improvement Strategies for Weak Microvia Interfaces

The industry has been openly discussing the concern about weak microvia interfaces after IR reflow and the potential for an undetected open or latent defect that can escape after expensive c .. read more

The Needs for, and Problems Experienced While Developing a Successful Low Palladium Activation System for Electroless Copper Deposition.
