Uyemura to Exhibit and Speak at IPC APEX EXPO 2019
December 4, 2018 | UyemuraEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Uyemura will exhibit several unique technologies—each designed to meet a specific need—as board shops face unprecedented demands for thicker gold, void-free via fill and low corrosion.
Industry experts who have been intimately involved with process development—and field engineers with extensive production experience—will be in Booth 533 for consultations and technical discussions during the 3-day conference.
Highlights of Uyemura’s exhibit include TWX-40 a reduction-assisted immersion bath that meets the demand for gold deposits (up to 8 µin) in ENIG and ENEPIG systems while preserving electroless nickel integrity; Talon electroless/alloyed palladium phos for ENEPIG; and EVF-YF-4 via fill copper, which pattern plates uniformly, and plates through-holes and blind vias simultaneously.
Rich DePoto, Uyemura manager of business development will present “Contrasting Soldering Results of ENIG and EPIG, Post Steam Aging” as part of the technical program. Jon Bengston, manager of research and development, is the paper’s author. ENIG, (electroless nickel immersion gold) is well-established for enhancing and preserving the solderability of copper circuits. EPIG (electroless palladium immersion gold) is a newer surface finish, also for enhancing solderability but with the advantage of a deposit layer that’s free of electroless nickel. This feature has become increasingly important with the increasing use of High Frequency PWB designs. DePoto will examine these finishes and their soldering characteristics as-plated and after steam aging, and explain the performance deviation.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
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?
