Atotech to Participate at KPCA Show 2023 in Seoul, South Korea
August 28, 2023 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MKS’ Atotech will participate at this year’s KPCA Show 2023 in Seoul, South Korea, which will be held at Incheon Songdo Convensia from September 6-8, 2023. MKS will represent its strategic brands, Atotech® and ESI®, and will introduce its latest products and solutions for PCB and package substrate manufacturing, ranging from chemical processes, production systems, auxiliary equipment, and lasers to software solutions for optimized production yield, reliability and efficiency.
All visitors are encouraged to stop by booth G201 and learn about the new solutions:
- G-Plate®: New vertical desmear and electroless HVM plating tool for next-generation high-end package substrates with well-organized particle control
- Geode® A: New CO2 laser system for high precision and high-speed ABF build-up laminate processing
- Printoganth® MV TP3: Ultra-thin electroless copper for advanced SAP manufacturing
- InPro® Pulse TVF: New vertical production solution for high aspect ratio through hole filling with best reliability
- EcoFlash® S300: Differential etching for advanced SAP manufacturing
- Stannatech® 2000: The leading immersion tin process designed to meet future requirements
MKS is highly committed to driving next generation package substrate development working towards meeting 5/5µm L/S targets. By combining leading capabilities in lasers, optics, motion, process chemistry and equipment (horizontal and vertical), we are positioned to Optimize the Interconnect(SM), a significant enabling point of next-generation advanced electronics that represents the next frontier for miniaturization and complexity.
Gucheol Kim, marketing manager of Atotech Korea, said, “Printed circuit boards, package substrates and semiconductor are all key enabler for a modern world and will continue to play an important role as we further progress our journey advancing technical capabilities and with-it electronic products. Today, these mission critical electronic products use components that make innovation possible in various ends, be it 5/6G networks, high-performance computing for server/data centers, self-driving or electric cars, and many more. The requirements for ultra-small, thin, flexible, and high-performing electrical components and the need to provide more sustainable solutions is what keeps us innovating. We understand and strive to satisfy the diverse needs of our customers.”

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
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.
