ZettaCore(R) Launches Molecular Interface(TM) Technology
DENVER and KYOTO, Apr. 16 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Nano treatment enables low-cost transition to high-performance substrates and printed circuit boards
ZettaCore, Inc., a developer of molecular electronics, today announced Molecular Interface(TM) (MI)
technology. This nano treatment technology makes possible dramatic improvement in interconnect density
without requiring expensive and often time-consuming introduction of new materials and processes.
System level interconnect is a bottleneck to the scaling of semiconductor devices and digital systems.
ZettaCore MI(TM) technology enables deposition of copper on smooth dielectric, and lamination of dielectric
on smooth copper in high-performance IC substrates, HDI boards, high-speed boards, flexible printed circuit
boards, and wafer level packaging. Since surface roughening is eliminated, customers can realize finer
line/space dimensions and improve signal integrity while using conventional materials and processes.
"ZettaCore MI technology offers IC substrate customers the ability to leverage their manufacturing
infrastructure and yet realize finer line/space design rules. For example, customers can advance interconnect
geometries with the current GX-13 material beyond what is possible with conventional roughening
technologies. Since the interfaces are smooth, losses related to skin effect are minimized which would
improve system performance. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with ZettaCore," said Takao
Sakurai, General Manager of Specialty Chemical Dept., Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
ZettaCore and Ajinomoto are presenting a paper on molecular modification of PCB substrates at the
International Conference on Electronic Packaging (Apr 14-16, 2009) in Kyoto, Japan. By working with
Ajinomoto, ZettaCore is offering a complete and seamless solution to substrate manufacturers.
"Ajinomoto GX-13 build-up resin has a dominant market share in flip-chip IC substrates. Customers can
now realize 10um line/space design rules and beyond by using ZettaCore MI technology in conjunction with
GX-13 material," said Srinivas Nimmagadda, VP of Business Development at ZettaCore.
