4 PCB007 MAGAZINE I AUGUST 2019 AUGUST 2019 • FEATURED CONTENT In this issue, we explore plating, including the chemistries and processes that make up traditional subtractive etch and plate. We also investigate the confluence of smaller dimensions, reduced pollu- tion, higher throughput, and improved reliability as they relate to wet processes and plating. Further, we address some of the emerging processes for higher-performance designs and new equipment to implement modern techniques.
