December 14, 2021 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions that provides unmatched capabilities in electronics design and manufacturing, will be exhibiting at the Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) exhibition and will present at the IMPACT Conference, co-located with TPCA at the Nangang Exhibition Center Taipei, Taiwan, December 21-23, 2021.
Maddux Sy, Applications Manager for the Metallization group, will be presenting “ RDL and Pillar Fabrication from a Versatile Copper Plating Process“. The paper discusses the challenges fabricators face not only in meeting the copper plating performance requirements but also in reducing manufacturing process costs.
Interested participants can stop by booth K606 in Hall 1 to talk to our industry experts about the latest offerings from MacDermid Alpha. Featured in the booth will be the MacDermid Enthone brand of product offerings that enable the most complex printed circuit board and IC Substrate designs. Highlighted will be the entire Systek family of high performance build-up processes for IC Substrate RDL that provide multiple process flows for differet materials, Affinity 2.0, the new Affinity Gold 3.0 and the soon to be released Affinity Select, the OSP compatible selective ENIG process. Also featured will be the full portfolio of MacuSpec acid copper products that meet all applications, from ultra-aspect ratio conformal plating down to filling the smallest blind microvias.

How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.
