Simultaneous cleaning and base treatment of the substrate surface to enhance the adhesion of gold plating
Processing details
- Washing
- Roughening
Process Objective
Removing SR (solder resist) residue, enhancing gold-plating adhesion, as well as reducing adhesive failure

Problem
- As the material types of foreign objects adhered on the surface are unknown, they cannot be removed by chemical solvents
- Non-uniformity of cleaning occurs on the substrate
- We cannot obtain high throughput performance by plasma treatment

Dirt and foreign objects are removed together with the surface of the work piece by the impact given by the energy of particles and water in high speed.
