RTW IPC APEX EXPO 2019: Uyemura Discusses Heavy Gold Deposition
February 13, 2019 | Real Time with...IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Richard DePoto, business development manager at Uyemura, brings Pete Starkey up to speed on the success of the heavy gold deposition process they discussed last year. Learn how it has been seamlessly integrated into standard ENEPIG lines to give a choice of finishes, and how advances in electroless palladium have enabled the elimination of electroless nickel for high-speed signal integrity.

PCB007 Magazine October 2024: Alternate Metallization Processes
10/16/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamTraditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop taking us into new directions. In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we examine the impact of alternate metallization methods giving a glimpse into how and when we will arrive at 'destination metallization'.
Trouble in Your Tank: Interconnect Defect—The Three Degrees of Separation
10/01/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIt has been well documented that, with a very expensive and complex printed circuit board, thermal and mechanical excursions often find weaknesses. A lack of robustness and poor process control often leads to the exploitation of those weaknesses. An interconnect defect (ICD) often goes undetected until the printed circuit board reaches the final assembly stage or undergoes multiple thermal cycles, including interconnect stress tests or thermal shock. It is impossible to rework the ICD defect. But unlike voids, if detected in time, the panels can be reprocessed.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Electroless Copper
08/28/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsRoll up your sleeves because it's time to get messy. In a recent episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we discussed electroless copper deposition. This process deposits a copper layer into the through-holes and vias of what will eventually be a PCB. Electroless copper deposition feels like a black box to many people. It sort of looks like a black box, too. The boards go in one side, come out the other, and emerge differently. So, let's crack open that black box and look inside.
