MKS’ Atotech to Participate in SEMICON Taiwan 2023
September 5, 2023 | MKS’ AtotechEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
MKS’ Atotech will be participating at the upcoming SEMICON Taiwan, a business matching platform for Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. The event will take place at the TaiNEX Hall 1 and 2 in Taipei, Taiwan, from September 6 – 8.
Atotech® product experts will be available at booth K2270 in hall 1 to talk about the range of plating solutions to meet the diverse requirements of modern semiconductor devices. The current offer includes plating solutions to meet the diverse requirements of modern semiconductor devices. These solutions include electrolytic processes for various structures such as pillars, micro vias, fine line RDL, and solder applications for power semiconductors. Additionally, the portfolio encompasses a wide selection of tin processes, adhesion promoters, and post-treatments specifically designed for leadframes.
At the show, the following products will be highlighted:
- Spherolyte® Cu UF5 – Tailorable and pure high-speed copper pillar plating
- Spherolyte® Cu DB – Next gen Cu-to-Cu direct bonding
- Spherolyte® SnAg – High-speed SnAg for lead-free, pure and uniform solder bump plating
- Protectostan® Plus 3 – High performance “2-in-1” tin post-dip
- StannoPure® PF 10 – High-speed green tin process for leadframes and connectors
- AgPrep – A new NEAP solution that assures excellent adhesion and significant cost savings

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
