The company’s Optimize the InterconnectSM philosophy reflects its unmatched ability to enable innovation, empowering customers and partners with integrated, cutting-edge solutions for advanced PCB and package substrate manufacturing. By combining MKS’ ESI industry-leading laser drilling technologies with MKS’ Atotech chemistry and plating systems, the company is setting new benchmarks for precision, performance, and scalability – key to enabling next-generation technologies with finer features.

At booth H12.N01 product experts will be available and introducing the following chemistry highlights this year:

ViaKing®: enhanced graphite-based direct metallization process offering high reliability, low cost of ownership, and excellent stability for both high and low volume production.

Noviganth® AF: provides superior cleaning, conditioning, and stable copper deposition for rigid, flex, and flex-rigid PCB production

Cupracid® AC5 DR series: provides a solution for conformal copper plating with soluble anodes, with an operational high current density of up to 3 A/dm². The high throwing power allows for reduction in copper consumption and minimises overall production costs.

OS-Tech® SIT 2:  organic surface finish offers a solderable, eco-friendly option for electronics, ensuring multiple reflow cycles and compatibility with Atotech’s ENIG processes, with coating thickness as a key quality control measure.

Stannatech® 2001: provides reliable, high-quality, and cost-efficient tin plating with excellent whisker control and solder joint integrity, trusted by HDI, automotive, and package substrate customers globally.

CupraEtch® SR 8000: cost-effective, cupric chloride-based microetching system that enhances dryfilm and soldermask adhesion through a simple three-step process, offering uniform surface roughening and easy integration into existing lines.

Equipment highlights include:

Uniplate® PLBCu6: Energy-efficient horizontal solution for producing reliable fine-line interconnects with superior copper plating performance and minimized handling requirements.

Geode™ G2 PCB laser drill: Next generation CO2 via drilling for HDI and integrated circuit packaging manufacturing.

CapStone™ Flex PCB laser drill: Breakthrough productivity – Increase throughput up to 2x and reduce overall processing costs by 30%.

A spotlight is also set on the various solutions available for e-mobility e.g. BEV, HEV and PHEV batteries and other components.
