March 20, 2023 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MKS Instruments announced its participation in the upcoming CPCA Show 2023, the international electronic circuits exhibition in Shanghai, China held from March 22-24, 2023. MKS will be present with representatives from two of its strategic brands, Atotech and ESI, and present its latest products and manufacturing solution for printed circuit board and package substrate manufacturing.
Product experts from overseas will be joining the local team and be available to discuss the latest industry trends and challenges, as well as introduce the new combined product offering consisting of PCB production equipment (wet-to-wet process equipment, laser systems, and auxiliaries), chemistry, software, and service. The company will be exhibiting at booth 7T26 and this year’s product highlights include:
- V-Plate: The new gold standard for vertical conveyor plating equipment for next-generation HDI PCB and package substrates
- InPro SAP6: The new high-end electrolyte for vertical processing of next-generation package substrates
- New Uniplate: The industry-leading horizontal plating tool for next-generation HDI PCBs and package substrates manufacturing
- Printoganth MV TP2: Next-generation electroless copper for fine-line SAP applications
- BondFilm EX: New bonding enhancement solution for low signal loss high-frequency applications
- PallaBond: Direct pure EPAG for high-end circuitry and reliability application
- CapstoneTM: Flex PCB UV drilling tool for high-performance breakthrough productivity
- GeodeTM: HDI PCB and package substrate high-precision CO2 via drilling tool

IDTechEx Highlights Recyclable Materials for PCBs
04/10/2025 | IDTechExConventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is wasteful, harmful to the environment and energy intensive. This can be mitigated by the implementation of new recyclable materials and technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize electronics manufacturing.
Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO 2025: Tariffs and Supply Chains in U.S. Electronics Manufacturing
04/01/2025 | Real Time with...IPC APEX EXPOChris Mitchell, VP of Global Government Relations for IPC, discusses IPC's concerns about tariffs on copper and their impact on U.S. electronics manufacturing. He emphasizes the complexity of supply chains and the need for policymakers to understand their effects.
The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
NUS Physicists Discover a Copper-free High-temperature Superconducting Oxide
03/28/2025 | PRNewswireProfessor Ariando and Dr Stephen Lin Er Chow from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Physics have designed and synthesised a groundbreaking new material—a copper-free superconducting oxide—capable of superconducting at approximately 40 Kelvin (K), or about minus 233 degrees Celsius (deg C), under ambient pressure.
