Atotech Experts to Present at SEMICON Europa and electronica 2018
November 9, 2018 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Atotech Group will exhibit and present its latest products for power, automotive, and mobile semiconductor applications at this year’s SEMICON Europa. Atotech’s Semiconductor portfolio includes RDL and pillar plating solutions for next generation FOWLP and 5G applications as well as solutions for electroless pad metallization and double side plating for power semiconductors.
SEMICON Europa is the largest and most influential gathering for the semiconductor industry in Europe and attracts more thought leaders from overseas every year. This year the SEMICON show will be co-located with electronica, an equivalently important show for the printed circuit board and electronics assembly industry. Both events take place in Munich, Germany, from November 13 to 16, 2018. While hall A4 will be dedicated to SEMICON Europa, hall B5 will feature electronica.
Atotech’s product experts will be present at booth 569 in hall A4 to discuss latest technology, trends, and future requirements. This year’s product features include:
- Spherolyte Cu UF3 - High purity ECD copper process for fine line RDL plating and microvia filling capability
- Spherolyte Cu VR - Electrochemical copper process for fine line plating and simultaneous filling of various via dimensions
- Xenolyte Ni TR - A high-temperature resistant electroless nickel process for RDL and pad metallization
- Spherolyte Cu MD2 and MultiPlate - A new low stress ECD copper process for power semiconductors that is developed to run in Atotech's next generation semiconductor plating tool: MultiPlate
Atotech experts will also participate in the adjacent program with several presentations:
- On Tuesday, November 13, at 4:40 pm, Ulrich Memmert, Senior Scientist Material Sciences, will talk about “Mechanical properties of copper for advanced packaging” at the Strategic Materials Conference in Room 14a
- On Wednesday, November 14, at 12:55 p.m., Ralf Schmidt, R&D manager semiconductor, will introduce the audience to the “Enhanced mechanical properties of copper for Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging applications” at the Advanced Packaging Conference in Room 13b
- On Thursday, November 15, at 10:45 a.m., Markus Hoerburger, Global Product Manager Semiconductor & Functional Electronics Coatings, will talk about “Optimized Cu plating solution for next generation packaging" at the TechLounge on the Showfloor show floor in Hall A4
- Also on Thursday, November 15, at 4:35 p.m., Andreas Walter, Team Manager Semiconductor Electroless Processes, will discuss “Electroless ternary nickel alloys for under bump metallization (UBM) on power semiconductors for high temperature process conditions or applications” at the TechArena 2, hall A4
- As part of the adjacent electronica, Roger Massey, technical marketing manager, will present “Recent developments in advanced HDI PCBs” at the “PCB & Components marketplace” in Hall A1 on Friday, November 16, at 10:00 a.m..
Visitors to the show are invited to attend Atotech’s presentations and stop by at booth 569 in Hall A4 to discuss and elaborate on these and other topics and trends driving the industry.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... DFM Essentials, Ch. 1
10/25/2024 | I-Connect007The guidelines offered in this book are based on both ASC recommendations and IPC standards with the understanding that some may require adjustment based on the material set, fabricator processes, and other design constraints. This chapter details high-frequency materials, copper foil types, metal core PCBs, and the benefits of embedded capacitance and resistor materials in multilayer PCBs.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Direct Metallization
10/21/2024 | Carmichael Gugliotti, MacDermid AlphaCarmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha discusses the innovative realm of direct metallization technology, its numerous applications, and significant advantages over traditional processes. Carmichael offers an in-depth look at how direct metallization, through developments such as Blackhole and Shadow, is revolutionizing PCB manufacturing by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. From its origins in the 1980s to its application in cutting-edge, high-density interconnects and its pivotal role in sustainability, this discussion sheds light on how direct metallization shapes the future of PCB manufacturing across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.
