Printoganth MV TP1 electroless copper bath provides high throwing power into blind microvias, enabling ultra-fine lines and spaces of 10/10µm and below. Is said to be a drop-in solution and fully compatible with Atotech desmearing and activation processes for SAP technology. Throwing power values typically 100% on the capture pad and 70% in the wedges for 50/50µm and 60/40µm blind microvias on ABF GX-92 laminates. Deposits feature a favorable surface morphology for better dry film adhesion and etchability performance. Passed reliability tests such as TCT (Thermal Cycle Test), IST (Interconnect Stress Test), QVP (Quick Via Pull Test) and SST (Solder Shock Test).

EMSAT Viewer pairs EMSAT post-layout EMC and SI design rule checkers developed by IBM with a Pantheon EMSAT Viewer that displays each violation on the board in real-time. Includes tree view that mimics EMSATuser interface, along with descriptive error reporting. Tree view is interactive, allowing users to view a report on errors or click through each error to view the violation on the board. Violations are displayed using arrows and highlight objects. Viewed errors display in gray italics. Corrections can be made directly in Pantheon and exported back for analysis in EMSAT using the DSN output file. Checks for common violation types in a layout that lead to EMC or SI degradation. Rule types can be tailored to each design. Rule checking is accomplished by reading in .brd, .dsn, .hyp, .mcm, or .xml; critical objects in the layout are designated, such as I/O nets, power/ground nets, clock nets, and decoupling capacitors; then each of the EMSAT rules are run on the design, and errors are reported and stored in output files. Pantheon can use one of 35+ database translators in tandem with EMSAT viewer and EMSAT violation file.
