MKS’ Atotech to Participate in Semicon West 2023
July 3, 2023 | MKS’ AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MKS’ Atotech will participate at the upcoming SEMICON West – the show connects the extended electronics design and manufacturing supply chain and will take place from July 11 – 13, 2023 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA.
This year we will join booth 565 of MKS’ Newport, Ophir, and Spectra-Physics to present the Atotech semiconductor products for next-generation advanced packaging technologies.
MKS’ Atotech provides leading ENEPIG and ENEPAG plating solutions for pad metallization for bonding, soldering applications, and RDL housing in power semiconductors, as well as electrolytic processes for pillars, micro vias, fine line RDL, and solder applications. A broad portfolio of adhesion promoters and post-treatments for lead frames completes the portfolio.
This year’s show highlights include:
Spherolyte Cu UF 3 – serves to deposit pure copper for RDL and via filling in advanced packaging applications such as in fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP). This process enables high reliability with higher via filling performance, stable plating uniformity, and higher copper purity compared to conventional copper processes.
Spherolyte Cu UF 5 – is designed for micro bump, standard pillars (flip chip) as well as mega pillar plating. This process satisfies the industry requirements with pure and uniform copper pillar deposits at high deposition speed. In addition, the pillar shape (flat, concave, or convex) is adjustable via additive settings.
Spherolyte Cu DB is targeted towards next-generation Cu-to-Cu hybrid bonding applications with low annealing temperatures. Spherolyte Cu DB allows the deposition of metastable fine-grained copper leading to a grain growth across the copper interface during the bonding step.

07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
