Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Plasmatreat Korea to Exhibit at SEMICON Korea 2025
February 7, 2025 | Plasmatreat KoreaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Plasmatreat Korea, specialist in atmospheric pressure plasma technology for surface treatment, is pleased to announce its participation at SEMICON Korea 2025. From February 19 to 21, 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about Openair-Plasma and PlasmaPlus at booth P126 in the Platz Hall.
When plasma with its high energy level comes into contact with materials, it changes the surface properties, for example from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Plasma technology requires only compressed air and electricity for operation. Fine cleaning with Openair-Plasma gently and reliably removes dust, release agents, additives, plasticizers and hydrocarbons from surfaces. Especially with non-polar plastics, plasma treatment achieves surface activation. It supports the increase of surface energy by introducing hydroxyl groups and thus improves adhesion in subsequent processes such as bonding, printing, painting and sealing. Plasmatreat's PlasmaPlus technology can also be used to create targeted functionalized surfaces with defined properties by applying (depositing) nano coatings, e.g. as an additional adhesion promoter layer or anticorrosion coating.
The company has developed a special plasma system for the electronics industry and its increasing challenges such as miniaturization, cost and time efficiency: With the new REDOX-Tool, oxide layers can be reliably removed from metal surfaces inline during the production process in an environmentally friendly manner. An oxide-free and clean surface is crucial for many applications, such as the production of power modules, semiconductors and lead frames. With this technology, Plasmatreat is setting new standards for process reliability, efficiency and sustainability in electronics and semiconductor production. Processes such as sintering or the use of flux are completely replaced by the use of Plasmatreat's systems and equipment.
Visitors to the Plasmatreat booth P126 at SEMICON Korea will also be able to see how atmospheric pressure plasma works in real time. The Openair-Plasma live demonstrations offer fascinating insights into this precise and sustainable surface treatment technology.
Plasmatreat Korea invites visitors cordially to convince themselves of the performance and versatility of this surface treatment technology. Local experts will be on hand to answer questions and discuss customized solutions for industrial challenges.
