Electroninks is a company that produces metal organic decomposition (MOD) inks for stabilizer producing and forward-thinking semiconductor packaging. It has announced to introduce of the advanced conductive copper ink line of the company. The new copper ink spreads Electroninks’ worldwide foremost collection of metal complex inks, although delivering additional manufacturing flexibility and minor total ownership charges to consumers.

Electroninks will be introducing the new copper ink line at booth Q5152 in Hall 2 of SEMICON Taiwan. A high-demand usage for the new copper ink is seed layer printing used for RDL formation and fine-line metallization in conjunction with the proprietary iSAP™ process of the company. For this use, Electroninks copper ink efficiently shifts business use of electroless (e-less) copper plating and physical vapor deposition (PVD) tie layers while attaining a noteworthy upsurge in manufacturing quantity and a massive decrease in ESG footprint. Compared to legacy procedures (PVD and e-less), ink-based additive printing usages a portion of the energy and water, factory footprint, and CAPEX, therefore offering consumers the lowest total charge of ownership and highest ROI in the industry.

CEO and co-founder of Electroninks, Brett Walker, expressed, “These copper inks bolster Electroninks’ strong and diverse MOD ink product portfolio and deliver best-in-class ESG and cost savings to customers.” And Vice President of Marketing, IMAPS Executive Council, Jim Haley, expressed, “MOD inks, which have been on the market from Electroninks for a few years now, provide unique properties that are well suited for today’s semiconductor wafer and module-based packages requiring high-performance thermal and power management. By introducing a copper-based MOD product, markets and customers are generally more supportive, as copper is a standard in electronic design for many use cases.

While silver, gold, and other MOD inks will continue to serve this market, we welcome copper MOD inks to address key needs in advanced packaging.” Electroninks is providing a variety of copper ink grades to address consumer demand for hold to several alternatives, including EMC, glass, and silicon. These inks are well-suited for numerous printing technologies and can be preserved at low temperatures for short times as low as 140 °C in 5 minutes under nitrogen or ambient conditions.
