Nordson MARCH, a Nordson Company (NASDAQ: NDSN),
a global leader in plasma processing technology, will present the paper
“Overcoming the Challenges Presented with Automated Selective Conformal
Coating of Advanced Electronic Assemblies by Employing Plasma Treatment
Technology,” by David Foote, global applications manager, Nordson MARCH,
at SMTA International 2013, Fort Worth, TX, Tuesday, October 15, from
4:00–5:30 PM, in Technical Session MFX3, Room 202D.
The electronics industry faces many new challenges with the increased
demand for reliability and performance of modern advanced electronic
assemblies and the necessity for more environmentally friendly
materials. During his presentation “Overcoming the Challenges Presented
with Automated Selective Conformal Coating of Advanced Electronic
Assemblies by Employing Plasma Treatment Technology,” Foote will explain
how plasma treatment can offer a viable solution to one of these new
challenges, conformal coating adhesion. New high-performance solder mask
materials designed to meet the higher RoHS temperature requirements and
greater use of PTFE designed to meet the demand for higher frequency
applications limit the effectiveness of traditional methods. However, by
increasing wettability, lowering contact angles, and removing
contaminants, plasma treatment can greatly improve conformal coating
adhesion.
