October 17, 2022 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Atotech, MKS Instruments’ globally leading brand in surface-finishing solutions, will participate at this year’s Taiwan Circuit Industry International Exhibition (TPCA Show) and International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conferences (IMPACT) to be held in Taipei, Taiwan from October 26-28, 2022.
Daniel Schmidt, Director Global Marketing Electronics at MKS’ Atotech said: “This year, the list of leading technology firms which join and present at this unique event is extraordinary. We are excited to host two IMPACT industrial forums, one on ‘High-speed computing for edge computing applications’ and one on ‘Advanced packaging for data and server applications.” Atotech experts will contribute two paper presentations during these sessions on October 26. In addition, Atotech experts will present five more technical papers on October 27 and 28, at the regular IMPACT technical conference.
Throughout TPCA show, experts from MKS’ Atotech and ESI brands will be available at booth 4F: #N-720 to discuss latest industry trends and challenges. To the audience, they will introduce the new combined product offering, consisting of PCB production equipment (wet-to-wet process equipment, laser systems, and auxiliaries), chemistry, software, and service.
Product highlights at the show include:
- V-Plate®: Vertical continuous Cu plating technology of choice for advanced HDI & IC substrate
- EcoFlash® S300: Differential etching for advanced SAP manufacturing
- CapstoneTM: High-performance breakthrough productivity for flex PCB UV drilling
- GeodeTM: High-precision CO2 via drilling for HDI PCB manufacturing and IC packaging
- InPro® SAP6: The new standard for IC substrates – High current density, productivity, and quality
- Printoganth® MV TP2: Next-generation electroless copper for fine-line SAP applications
- Stanna-CAT®: A new autocatalytic process for tin deposition
- NEAP: Non-etching adhesion promoter for lead frames

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.
Trouble in Your Tank: Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper
05/09/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the business of printed circuit fabrication, yield-reducing and costly defects can easily catch even the most seasoned engineers and production personnel off guard. In this month’s column, I’ll investigate copper plating voids with their genesis in the pre-plating process steps.
Elephantech: For a Greener Tomorrow
04/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineNobuhiko Okamoto is the global sales and marketing manager for Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup with a vision to make electronics more sustainable. The company is developing a metal inkjet technology that can print directly on the substrate and then give it a copper thickness by plating. In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
