KYZEN Showcases MICRONOX M2322 and M2708 at SEMICON West
June 11, 2019 | KyzenEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KYZEN plans to exhibit at SEMICON West, scheduled to take place July 9-11, 2019 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The KYZEN team will offer free cleaning assessments and an inside look at their chemistries, MICRONOX M2322 and MICRONOX M2708, in booth #5369.
To learn how KYZEN’s convergence of science and care will help you improve your cleaning process, complete a quick and easy cleaning assessment. A member from the Clean Team will review your results in a one-on-one discussion in Booth #5369.
MICRONOX MX2322 is a semiconductor-grade engineered semi aqueous solvent and designed to clean all types of paste fluxes common in wafer bumping, wafer level packaging, die attach, flip chip and SiP that contain copper pillar. MX2322 has a wide process window, as well as a long bath life, to remove tough flux residue at a fast rate and is compatible with all sensitive metals. The solvent demonstrates its excellent cleaning performance and benefits in single-wafer spray-in-air tools as well as all immersion cleaning systems.
MICRONOX MX2707 was formulated for the demanding cleaning challenges presented within leadless devices such as low standoff gaps and fine pitches of BGAs, flip chips, QFNs, LGAs and passives. MX2708 completely removes organic acid residues of all kinds at low, safe operating concentrations all while having no effect on exposed metal and intermetallic alloys including Cu, Al, Sn, Pb, Ni, Ag and Au finishes. MX2708 is a balanced cleaning agent designed around the critical process conditions that match the cleaning agent with water soluble flux pastes.

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.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
