September 3, 2020 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global leader in high performance semiconductor chemistries and assembly materials, will exhibit its total process solutions for emerging packaging at the Semicon Taiwan, Taipei City, September 23-25, 2020.
MacDermid Alpha will highlight its entire portfolio of technologies from its MacDermid Enthone, Alpha, Kester, and Compugraphics brands essential to advanced semiconductor packaging and the markets it enables. MacDermid Alpha will be showcasing its recently released MacDermid Enthone brand, Systek UVF 100; a 2-in1 RDL via filling technology for IC substrates, and the Systek ETS 1200; an advanced DC acid copper pattern plating process specifically formulated for the construction of embedded trace substrates.
The Alpha brand STAYDRY Z20 film, a unique getter which employs an active desiccant for water absorption dispersed in a flexible silicone polymer matrix and the Kester brand of Thermal Interface Materials used to enhance heat transfer across the interface between a heat source and heatsink will also be promoted. ?The Compugraphics brand will showcase their complete line of photomask solutions.
MacDermid Alpha’s team of industry experts from its Circuitry and Semiconductor divisions will be available at booth I2422 to discuss the challenges the semiconductor manufacturing sector faces as technology continues to push the limits of performance and miniaturization. Stop by the booth to learn of MacDermid Alpha’s offerings in the 5G, mobile, smart automotive, and high-performance computing markets.

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.
