The increasing demand for finer lines and spaces within pattern plating technologies means that it is important to greatly reduce the touching of the panel surface in order to avoid damages to the dry film. MKS' Atotech vPlate equipment is specifically designed for the touchless transportation of PCB panels for advanced manu- facturing technologies such as SAP and (a)mSAP. It can be applied to various PCB types, ranging from standard multilayer and HDI to advanced HDI, rigid-flex, and IC substrates, with fine lines and spaces down to 8/8 μm. The vertical continuous copper plating equipment is fully automated and compatible with our InPro ® chemical process series for TH and BMV filling for advanced HDI, mSAP, and IC substrates, as well as our conformal plating processes such as InPro ® VLF and InPro ® Flex 2. For HAR and HHD applications we provide a combination of our Cuprapulse ® IN process with vPlate's pulse plating capability. With vPlate, we provides a one-stop-shop solution for effective equipment, software and process solutions.
