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.

MacDermid Alpha to Present at IMPACT-IAAC 2019 Conference
October 4, 2019 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions will be presenting a technical paper at the IMPACT-IAAC 2019 Conference, co-located with TPCA in Taipei, to be held October 23–25, 2019. The paper details some of the ways in which MacDermid Alpha has invested in the research of innovative manufacturing processes to meet the demanding standards required for the new age of miniaturization in devices such as smartphones and high-performance computing.
Maddux Sy, Applications Manager for the Metallization group, will be presenting “Copper Electroplating Processes For Advanced HDI Applications” October 24, 14:25–14:40. The paper will be presented in Session S18, Room 504c and covers two DC acid copper micro-via fill plating processes, one for advanced tenting process (ATP) and another for modified semi additive process (mSAP) with vertical continuous plating (VCP) applications. The paper covers a broad range of topics involving the challenges presented by the advanced metallization requirements for today’s most advanced PCBs, including SL-PCB, MSAP, and traditional IC substrate designs.
Maddux will also be accepting the Packaging Best Paper Award for the paper presented at the 2018 IMPACT conference titled, “Electroplating Processes for IC Substrates-Embedded Trace Plate, Via Fill and Through-Hole Fill.”

Smart Automation: AI—Revolutionizing Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing
05/27/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a staple in our personal and professional lives. In electronics manufacturing, integrating AI to combat common inefficiencies and to contextualize data will open new doors into how we supplement our traditional processes. In some specific areas of the electronics manufacturing process, integration of AI on the factory floor is already having a tremendous effect. One such area is PCBA inspection, particularly 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
