MacDermid Alpha Releases CircuEtch 300 Anisotropic Final Etch for SAP and mSAP
February 24, 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 provide unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, announces the release of CircuEtch 300, a high performance anisotropic final etch for circuit formation in Semi-Additive and modified-Semi-Additive processes (SAP/mSAP) utilized in IC substrate and substrate-like HDI manufacturing.
The CircuEtch 300 high-speed anisotropic etch process is the latest addition to the MacDermid Alpha process family for the manufacturing of the advanced HDI and IC substrates. The CircuEtch series of processes are high performance etch formulas that can be utilized for processing of mSAP and SAP manufacturing of high-density interconnects with excellent precision and overall conductor geometry. CircuEtch 300 has a wide operating window and the etch rate can be adjusted to meet specific process requirements for different types of substrates. The CircuEtch 300 also provides the additional benefit of reducing the surface roughness of the pattern plated electrolytic copper traces for improved electrical properties.
CircuEtch 300 is non-flammable so it eliminates flammable materials shipping and storage concerns which also results in a safer workplace. The new CircuEtch 300 precisely defines traces with optimal geometry, zero undercut, and vertical trace sidewalls for excellent electrical performance. The bath has a predictable etching rate over a wide range of additive, copper, acid, chloride concentration and operating temperatures, while running in easy to maintain horizontal spray etching equipment.

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.
