Electrodeposited Copper Additive Dynamics in Printed Circuit Board Fabrication
Controlled additive balance between suppressors, accelerators, and levelers drives bottom-up microvia filling, requiring strict CVS control to avoid scrap.
Identifying Interfacial Kirkendall Voiding Mechanics in Solder Joints
Kirkendall voiding occurs when copper diffuses into tin faster than tin into copper, condensing vacancies in the Cu3Sn layer, accelerated by plating impurities.
Suppressing Kirkendall Void Nucleation in Electroplated Copper Printed Circuit Substrates
Maintaining low bath organic breakdown impurities and pre-solder thermal annealing suppresses Kirkendall void nucleation in electroplated copper substrates.
