Shadow® Plus
Shadow® Plus is a graphite-based, patented wet-etch direct metallization technology that provides enhanced reliability for high-density applications. It enables the plating of microvias and through holes using graphite-based colloids and proprietary additives to make the holes conductive. The technology is our most advanced alternative to electroless copper, delivering faster throughput and significant sustainability benefits.
