MACFEST

Ionic liquids (IL) used to deposit

nickel, palladium and gold onto

PCBs to produce high quality,

long term solder joint reliability.

A project co-funded by InnovateUK, Project No 102020

No need for use of toxic chemi-

cals for depositing coatings

Development of new IL based

metal plating solutions for the

deposition of solderable coatings

onto printed circuit boards.

Coatings assist the use of embed-

ded components, wire bonding,

high density assemblies and 3D

integration.

Elimination of common problems

like black pad & other corrosion

related reliability issues.

Improved PCB reliability in harsh

environments & critical

applications.
