Atotech to Demo Flex/Flex-Rigid Products at KPCA 2018
April 23, 2018 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
At the KPCA Show 2018, held in Gyeonggi-do from April 24 to 26, Atotech will showcase its latest production solutions for flex/flex-rigid and other PCB types at booth number J201. Next to its product promotion at the trade show booth, the company takes part in the technical conference (hall 7, Kintex 2) with the presentation of two papers.
On Wednesday, April 25, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, Frank Bruening, Global Business Manager for desmear and metallization at Atotech Deutschland GmbH, will present Printoganth RA, Atotech’s novel electroless copper process for high-end flex and flex-rigid PCBs on super flexible RA copper foil. The presentation will be held in room 1 in exhibition hall 7, Kintex 2.
On Thursday, April 26, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, Sukyoung Kim, Sales and Product Marketing Manager Atotech Korea Ltd., will present InPro SAP3, a process which allows for excellent within-unit distribution at high current density. Visitors can follow his presentation in room 1, Exhibition Hall 7, Kintex 2.
Printoganth RA
Printoganth RA is a horizontal electroless copper process for next generation flex and rigid-flex PCBs. The process enables a uniform electrolytic copper deposition with a shiny surface appearance for reliable automated optical inspection (AOI). Due to constant, low tensile internal stress, it provides blister-free coverage and excellent adhesion on polyimide surfaces.
InPro SAP3
InPro SAP3 is a DC copper plating electrolyte for IC Substrate BMV filling. It uses insoluble anodes in vertical conveyorized systems (VCP). The process offers reliable via filling results and achieves excellent within-unit distribution at high current densities.
For further questions on these or other products, visitors to the show are invited to join Atotech’s paper presentations or pass by the Atotech booth number J201 during the KPCA Show from April 24 to 26. Local and international specialists will be on site to discuss any question or inquiry.

Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
