- Seed Layer Deposition: A thin, uniform adhesion layer (Ti/Cu) is applied via magnetron sputtering, ensuring excellent bonding between the ceramic and subsequent copper layers.
- Photolithography & Patterned Copper Plating: Photoresist is applied and patterned using UV exposure. Copper is then electroplated to precise thicknesses through the mask, defining your custom circuit pattern.
- Resist Strip & Seed Layer Etch: The photoresist is removed, and the exposed seed layer is chemically etched away, leaving only the precision-plated copper circuitry.
- Surface Finish Application: Optional surface finishes (ENIG, immersion silver, OSP) are applied based on customer requirements for wire bonding or soldering.
- Comprehensive Quality Control: Each substrate undergoes 100% electrical testing, automated optical inspection (AOI), and dimensional verification before shipment. Statistical process control (SPC) ensures batch-to-batch consistency.
This meticulous process, informed by our extensive experience in producing Electronic Packaging solutions for global markets, guarantees a substrate that performs as promised in your most demanding thin film applications.
