MacDermid Alpha to Exhibit, Present at the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference
February 17, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions that provides unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, will be exhibiting and presenting a paper at the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference at the WeKoPa Resort and Conference Center, Fountain Hills, AZ, March 7-10, 2022.
Jianwen Han, Principal Research Scientist, will be presenting “Electrochemical Plating System Development of Nano-twinned Cu for Multiple WLP Features”. The paper discusses the development of a series of electrochemical plating baths and processes, generating nano-twinned Cu in wafer-level packaging applications to fulfill the expanding market demand for copper-to-copper direct bonding and hybrid-bonding. This newly developed system shows a high density of nt-Cu (close to 100%), controllable grain size (0.10 to 1.0 micron), vertical columnar structure, and minimal transition layer between Cu seed and nt-Cu initial position.
Featured in the booth will be the MacDermid Enthone brand of product offerings from the Circuitry Solutions division that enable upgraded FCCSP and PCBGA fabrication. Highlighted will be the entire Systek family of high-performance build-up processes for IC Substrates and their integrated leadframe product portfolio which incorporates connected solutions and spans the entire process of building QFN packages from leadframe roughening to enhancing sidewall solderability for enhanced reliability.
The Alpha, Kester, and MacDermid Enthone brands from the Semiconductor division will promote MICROFAB EVF NiBAR, a boric acid free sulfamate nickel electroplating process for semiconductor applications and ATROX CF200-1D an electrically conductive die attach film with thermal conductivity of >20 W/m-K. Also highlighted will be their complete line of STAYSTICK and STAYCHIP adhesives for structural and functional bonding.
The Compugraphics brand, will showcase their complete line of photomask solutions and support services. From 1X master photomasks and reticles to pellicle replacement, MPT coating and photomask cleaning, with quick-turn service, they are a partner you can reply on.
MacDermid Alpha’s team of industry experts from their Circuitry and Semiconductor divisions will be available at booth #23/24 to discuss the challenges the semiconductor and IC substrate manufacturing sectors face as technology continues to push the limits of performance and miniaturization.

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.
