Frequently Asked Questions

What is electrolytic copper via filling?

Electrolytic copper via filling is a process that fills microvias in printed circuit boards (PCBs) with copper to enhance durability, conductivity, and overall board stability. This process is essential for high-density interconnect (HDI) boards where reliability and structural integrity are crucial.

What benefits does the MacuSpec VF Series offer for copper via filling?

The MacuSpec VF Series provides stable, consistent copper via filling with proven reliability in high-density applications worldwide. It offers minimal surface copper and meets Institute of Printed Circuit Boards (IPC) standards, ensuring top-tier performance for HDI devices.

Can the MacuSpec VF-TH Series fill vias and plate through holes simultaneously?

Yes, the MacuSpec VF-TH Series can fill vias while plating through-holes in one bath, supporting aspect ratios up to 6:1. This dual-function capability reduces steps and improves efficiency without sacrificing reliability.

What makes the MacuSpec AVF Series suitable for copper via filling?

The MacuSpec AVF Series offers precise, repeatable copper via filling for a range of micro-via sizes, allowing minimal surface copper under varied plating conditions. This series meets Institute of IPC standards, ensuring reliable performance in HDI applications.

What IPC standards do the MacuSpec VF-TH copper filling deposits meet?

MacuSpec VF-TH copper filling deposits meet IPC 6012D, DS, and 6013D standards, including tensile strength of at least 40,000 PSI and elongation over 18%, ensuring high durability and performance in demanding applications.
