Anisotropic Final Etching Process
In the final etch that removes the copper foil in mSAP processing or the electrolytic copper seed layer in SAP processing, it is crucial to limit the lateral etching of the trace. The CircuEtch 300 process is a high-performance peroxide-sulfuric etchant system that ensures maximum circuit densities, trace profile, and excellent adhesion. CircuEtch 300 features an easy to maintain bath that has a highly stable etching rate for predictable performance and process consistency.
Copper Adhesion Promotion
MultiPrep 200 is a unique pretreatment process that enhances the adhesion of soldermask, dry film, and liquid photoresist to copper substrates. Ideally suited to eliminate the need for pumice or mechanical scrubbing, it delivers an optimized surface topography that maintains high speed signal integrity. The process enhances adhesion for fine line processing with uniform etching allowing for improved electrical performance of the layer.
Alternative Oxide for Laser Direct Drilling
MultiBond™ 500 is an innovative low-etch alternative oxide for laser direct drilling. Due to its improved topography, color, and lower etch depth, the process enables improvements in laser direct drilling of vias through enhanced absorption of laser energy during the drilling process, while providing optimized topography for the most demanding adhesion requirements. The process provides a highly uniform dark colored alternative oxide coating for lasering. From start to finish, MultiBond 500 removes less than 1 micron of copper from the surface.
