Continuous vertical Desmear electroless copper equipment is said to combine the process quality and production advantages associated with horizontal continuous platers. Said to have easier release of entrapped air and gas; uniform, high-volume delivery gained by the transport of panels past fluid delivery spargers. Advantages are said to include a high-reliability end product; improved 1st pass yield; the ability to process wide range of panel thicknesses without compromise on parameters; low CD strike/semi panel improves copper deposit properties. Process reportedly allows optimized de-smear on various substrates.
