Electroless Plating Solution is a surface treatment solution that deposits a metal or alloy film on the surface of a material through an autocatalytic chemical reduction reaction. The biggest difference between chemical plating and electroplating is the way to drive the deposition of the coating.
This article focuses on all types of Electroless Plating Solutions, including ENEPIG, ENIG, Electroless Nickel, Electroless Gold, Electroless Copper, Electroless Tin, and Electroless Silver.
From the perspective of different process solution systems, the mainstream Electroless Plating Solutions include ENIG, ENEPIG, Electroless Plating copper, Electroless Plating nickel, Electroless Plating tin, Electroless Plating gold, Electroless Plating silver, etc. Different solution systems have different application scenarios. For example, Electroless Plating nickel is the most widely used, such as PCB, semiconductors, automobiles, industrial machinery, petrochemicals and other scenarios, while ENIG and ENEPIG are mainly used in PCB and semiconductors. At present, Electroless Plating copper solution accounts for the highest proportion in the entire application. With the increase in the market penetration rate of semiconductor advanced packaging substrates, ENIG and ENEPIG are expected to exceed 27% of the market share of ENIG and ENEPIG solutions by 2031 due to their own advantages.
At present, the core manufacturers of Electroless Plating Solutions in the world mainly include C. Uyemura & Co, Atotech (MKS), Dupont, MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions, JCU Corporation, YMT, MK Chem & Tech Co., Ltd, GHTECH, OKUNO Chemical Industries, etc. It is expected that the industry competition will be more significant in the next few years, and the market will be fragmented, but the high-end application market will still be dominated by leading companies. In the global high-end PCB field, the mainstream companies of Electroless Plating Solutions include Atotech (MKS), MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions, etc. These companies still have obvious advantages over Chinese local companies in terms of brand awareness, product technology, etc. In recent years, with the expansion of downstream market demand and the continuous improvement of industry technology level, industries such as PCB, electronic semiconductors, and new energy vehicles are facing good development opportunities. Chinese local manufacturers (GHTECH, Guangzhou Sanfu New Materials Technology Co., Ltd, Guangdong Skychem Technology, etc.) are also gradually emerging in the domestic market in China, relying on their technological innovation and localized services to gradually expand their market share.
The future trends of Electroless Plating Solutions are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. High performance and customization: With the development of high-end PCB, advanced semiconductor packaging, automotive electronics, optical sensors, aerospace and other fields, higher requirements are put forward for Electroless Plating Solutions, such as high uniformity, high purity, ultra-thin coating, environmentally friendly cyanide-free process, etc. Electroless Plating Solutions will gradually develop in the direction of high performance and customization. Among them, high uniformity is mainly reflected in the precision of the potion formula. In IC substrates and wafer-level packaging applications, the spacing of fine lines is getting smaller and smaller, reaching the sub-micron level, which requires the chemical plating layer to maintain extremely high uniformity on the entire substrate surface to avoid problems such as overplating.
2. Environmental protection: Global environmental protection regulations are becoming stricter (such as RoHS, REACH, and China's green manufacturing system), which promotes Electroless Plating Solutions to present three major industry trends: 1) Accelerated iteration of cyanide-free gold salt technology; 2) Improved penetration of low-toxic reducing agents; 3) Expansion of the market scale of environmentally friendly Electroless Plating Solutions.
3. Low-phosphorus/phosphorus-free process: Traditional Electroless Plating nickel mainly uses sodium hypophosphite as a reducing agent, resulting in a high phosphorus content in the Ni-P alloy coating, generally around 10%. With technological innovation and development, downstream industries have higher requirements for the reliability and environmental protection of the solution. For example, in high-frequency, high-speed communications and data transmission, high-phosphorus Ni-P is prone to signal loss, and low-phosphorus/phosphorus-free Electroless Plating nickel can significantly improve transmission efficiency.
