PCB007 Magazine October 2024: Alternate Metallization Processes
October 16, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop. In the October 2024 issue of PCB007 Magazine, we examine alternate metallization methods, including MacDermid Alpha’s graphite technology and Uyemura’s RAIG technology.
In addition, John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses liquid metal ink as a process technology alternative. Dyconex talks about alternative metal elements from the standpoint of R&D and explains sputtering technology. And we revisit Mike Carano’s comprehensive overview of direct metallization technology from our July 2024 issue of PCB007 Magazine.
For all of that and more, get onboard for destination metallization.
