ENTEK® OM Process Cycle

The ENTEK OM simple, four-step process inhibits galvanic etch effects, resulting in enhanced PWB reliability. Due to the proprietary plating mechanism, the process also eliminates the potential for microvoids. ENTEK OM utilizes a patented, Organic Metal® technology that ensures the surface finish is in place and ready for assembly.

Clean: ENTEK OM-8010 An aggressive acid cleaner provides excellent copper conditioning and enables superior soldering performance.

Microetch: ENTEK OM-8020 An easy-to-control microetch safely removes trace contaminates and provides a uniform surface and appearance.

Predip: ENTEK OM-8030 A proprietary process reduces preclean drag-in and prepares the copper surface for a more stable, reliable coating. The pre-dip provides additional overall savings on chemistry running cost.

Plate: ENTEK OM-8000 Passivates the copper surface by depositing 50-70 nm of a patented, organic metal® that ensures the surface finish is in place and ready for assembly.
