Fine-L-Kote High Viscosity AR acrylic conformal coating is said to have a high viscosity for use as-is for dipping, or to thin for spray systems. Protects against moisture, thermal cycling, dust, debris, and other environmental contamination. Certified to IPC-CC-830B, MIL-I-46058C, and UL94 V-0, qualifying the final cured coat as nonflammable.

Spherolyte RDL / Pillar 2 process for high-speed plating of copper pillars and redistribution layers (RDLs) is a sulfuric acid-based three additive copper electrolyte system. Nonuniformity value – within wafer, die or/and profile – of the deposited copper structures, even over a range of applied current densities, is up to 17.5 ASD  (3.9 µm/min). Process control is analyzable through an online system for all additives. Is for flip-chip applications for various sizes of copper pillars (including µ-Pillars), especially for handhelds such as tablets or smartphones.
