PCB Plating Chemistry for PCB Manufacturing: Copper Deposition & Hole Wall Quality

Copper electroplating is the backbone of modern printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. From through-hole connections in double-sided boards to microvias in HDI (High-Density Interconnect) structures, proper plating chemistry determines both electrical connectivity and mechanical reliability. The plating process may appear straightforward — deposit copper onto a conductive surface — but in practice, success depends on […]
