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.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
