RBP Chemical Technology Announces Release of MAGNUM N-499 for PCBs
July 15, 2020 | RBP Chemical TechnologyEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
RBP is proud to announce the release of MAGNUM N-499, an additional innovation to their PTH process product offering for printed circuit boards. MAGNUM N-499 is a specially designed neutralizer based on hydrogen peroxide that removes residues of manganese dioxide from drilled holes after permanganate desmear in preparation for metallization of multilayer circuit boards. MAGNUM N-499 is effective on a variety of resin materials including high performance epoxy resins and polyimide. It is easily replenished and does not require circuit boards to be dried prior to processing. MAGNUM N-499 should be used in conjunction with MAGNUM K-401 OXIDIZER or MAGNUM N-501 OXIDIZER for optimal performance in the desmear sequence.
Positive Customer Impact
This new product provides the fabricator with wide process latitude with respect to neutralizing manganese dioxide residues that could negatively impact the metallization of high reliability, high aspect ratio printed wiring boards. The process is easily controlled with simple wet analysis and has a long working solution life.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
Happy’s Tech Talk #38: Novel Metallization for UHDI
05/07/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkI have been involved in high-density electronics substrates since 1970 when I joined Hewlett-Packard’s RF semiconductor group after college. Figure 1 shows the difference between trace/space lithography for substrates and silicon starting in 1970. My projects involved sapphire circuits for RF devices, but the figure displays the state of PCBs and integrated CMOS circuits and their packaging, not discreet RF devices. Even then, semiconductors were 50X higher density.
