MacDermid Alpha to Present at IMAPS International Symposium on Microelectronics 2019
September 25, 2019 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions will be presenting during the IMAPS International Symposium on Microelectronics at the Hynes Memorial Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, held September 30–October 3, 2019.
Shaopeng Sun, R&D Chemist, will present "Nickel Via Fill Metallization" on October 1 at 5:15pm, Session 029. In his paper, Sun will explore the possibility of nickel via fill metallization by electrodeposition achieving similar bottom-up fill as copper chemistry. "It becomes critical for semiconductor manufacturers to find ways to improve interconnect reliability while reducing cost," said Shaopeng. "If nickel does not represent a significant penalty in the replacement of copper then the potential benefits of simplicity, cost reduction, and increased reliability would weigh in its favor."
Our Semiconductor Solutions Division is a global leader in high performance semiconductor chemistries and assembly materials that engages directly with OEMs, IDMs, wafer foundries, OSATs and tool suppliers to collaboratively develop solutions that meet the fast-paced semiconductor market demands.
