Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

MacDermid Enthone to Present 'Copper Filled Thermal Vias for Heat Management' at SMTA Conference
March 23, 2017 | MacDermid Enthone Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Enthone Electronics Solutions will present at the SMTA South East Asia Technical Conference on Electronics Assembly being held in Penang, Malaysia, March 28-30, 2017.
Economical methods for thermal management of high density circuitry has become critically important as more powerful heat-generating IC and LED substrates are packaged on increasingly small HDI interconnect constructions. Rich Bellemare, Metallization Applications Manager, will discuss various methods of transferring heat away from sensitive components, including direct attachment of heat sinks, metal core printed circuits boards, conductive paste filled vias, and electroplated thermal vias. Rich will present his paper “The Effects of Board Design on Electroplated Copper Filled Thermal Vias for Heat Management“ on Wednesday March 29 at 4:30pm. This paper will discuss the use of copper filled thermal vias utilizing a two step electroplating process as a means of heat dissipation to improve product performance, efficiency, and life.
The SMTA is a global association with a membership at a local level and is comprised of international professionals who build skills, share practical experiences, and develop solutions through best practices and real world solutions in electronic assembly technologies, including microsystems, emerging technologies, and related business operations.
