Improvements in the coil coating process for pre-painted metals are fueling their growth in popularity. In fact, pre-painted metals are now a top choice for builders and manufacturers, due to ...

A new method of nickel-gold plating uses chemicals rather than the more-commonly used electricity-based approach of passing electric current between a substrate and conductive solution. The new ...

The electrochemical deposition (ECD) equipment market for IC packaging is heating up as 2.5D, 3D and fan-out technologies begin to ramp. Applied Materials recently rolled out an ECD system for IC ...

On an effort to bring our readers the most in-depth and important tech articles in the industry, we sent our ace undercover lens man Spanky McDraggit to procure some spy footage of what goes into ...

Substrate suppliers are slashing capacity allocated to wirebond IC substrates. We hear about “limited tenting capacity,” “no support for EBS designs,” and requests for “conversion to etchback” designs ...

Recent advances in equipment design and operation in spraying, drying, and mixing can improve the tablet-coating process. High efficiency in unit operations is a prequisite for achieving overall ...
