August 28, 2023 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MKS’ Atotech will participate at this year’s KPCA Show 2023 in Seoul, South Korea, which will be held at Incheon Songdo Convensia from September 6-8, 2023. MKS will represent its strategic brands, Atotech® and ESI®, and will introduce its latest products and solutions for PCB and package substrate manufacturing, ranging from chemical processes, production systems, auxiliary equipment, and lasers to software solutions for optimized production yield, reliability and efficiency.
All visitors are encouraged to stop by booth G201 and learn about the new solutions:
- G-Plate®: New vertical desmear and electroless HVM plating tool for next-generation high-end package substrates with well-organized particle control
- Geode® A: New CO2 laser system for high precision and high-speed ABF build-up laminate processing
- Printoganth® MV TP3: Ultra-thin electroless copper for advanced SAP manufacturing
- InPro® Pulse TVF: New vertical production solution for high aspect ratio through hole filling with best reliability
- EcoFlash® S300: Differential etching for advanced SAP manufacturing
- Stannatech® 2000: The leading immersion tin process designed to meet future requirements
MKS is highly committed to driving next generation package substrate development working towards meeting 5/5µm L/S targets. By combining leading capabilities in lasers, optics, motion, process chemistry and equipment (horizontal and vertical), we are positioned to Optimize the Interconnect(SM), a significant enabling point of next-generation advanced electronics that represents the next frontier for miniaturization and complexity.
Gucheol Kim, marketing manager of Atotech Korea, said, “Printed circuit boards, package substrates and semiconductor are all key enabler for a modern world and will continue to play an important role as we further progress our journey advancing technical capabilities and with-it electronic products. Today, these mission critical electronic products use components that make innovation possible in various ends, be it 5/6G networks, high-performance computing for server/data centers, self-driving or electric cars, and many more. The requirements for ultra-small, thin, flexible, and high-performing electrical components and the need to provide more sustainable solutions is what keeps us innovating. We understand and strive to satisfy the diverse needs of our customers.”

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.

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
