Abstract
Simply defined, plating and etching are two PCB processing steps that involve wet chemistry for the addition and subtraction of metal. These seemingly opposing functions represent major operations in PCB fabrication. As such, users are searching for more sophisticated, cost-effective and automated equipment to keep pace with today’s advances in PCB design and high-volume production requirements. The most demanding feature is that of providing a high degree of process control, both by the use of automatic process monitoring systems and through the overall reliability of machine design.
