January 13, 2022 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Atotech, a leading specialty chemicals technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating solutions will take part at IPC APEX EXPO 2022 and present four technical papers this year, touching on the following hot industry topics “crystal structures in plated microvias”, “electroless palladium plating”, “Pd-free activation for electroless Cu”, and “nano structuring photoresist adhesion promoter”. For Atotech’s work on analyzing and improving the crystal structures in plated microvias, our technical paper has been selected as Honorable Mention for the 2022 IPC APEX EXPO Technical Conference. Both, IPC APEX EXPO and its accompanying Technical Conference will be held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA from January 22 to 27. The Atotech global team will be at booth 3317 to discuss this year’s technical paper presentations, show highlights or to exchange ideas on new technology demands.

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?

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
