Imaging 2000™

The first definitive study of the twenty-first century on primary and secondary imaging for the fabrication of printed wiring boards and IC packaging

The study is just under 200 pages, divided into ten modules, which are:

• •

  Module I: study overview.

• •

  Module II: fabricator survey results.

• •

  Module III: photoplotting equipment.

• •

  Module IV: phototools.

• •

  Module V: patterning equipment.

• •

  Module VI: primary imaging;

• •

  Module VII: photosensitive permanentcoatings (solder masks, etc.).

• •

  Module VIII: technology overview.

• •

  Module IX: emerging technologies.

• •

  Module X: appendices.

Each module is a study and report on its own.

This limited edition multi-client report covers imaging from A to Z. Topics include: laser photoplotting; exposure equipment, including laser direct imaging (LDI); dry film photoresists, liquid photoresists; photoimageable dielectric coatings; solder masks; coverlays; and phototools. It discusses the technology, business, and markets for all of these items. It presents trends. It covers fine line imaging (< 75 micron (3.0 mils)), materials, processes, and equipment. Nearly 300 companies around the globe were surveyed for their perspectives and needs on the various topics.

In addition to the report subscribers may schedule, at their option, a one-day presentation of the report findings at the subscriber's choice of location in North America. The client will be invoiced US$4,500.00 per meeting plus travel and lodging expenses. At least two of the authors will present and discuss the study at these presentations. Adequate meeting notice is requested to prevent schedule conflicts. International fee schedules will be provided upon request. The information obtained and developed by the Quantum Performance Group on behalf of the undersigned and with respect to the above report will be provided by means of two copies of the final report. Additional copies are available at US$350 each. In addition to the two copies of the study the subscriber will receive the first issue of Imaging News Quarterly™ a quarterly newsletter covering new product/materials, process and market activities
