AlphaSTAR Advantage |
| Microvoid Resistance |
 |
AlphaSTAR is inherently microvoid resistant. |
| Creep Corrosion Prevention |
 |
Industry's first and best creeping corrosion solution. |
| Flaking Corrosion Prevention |
 |
Industry's only flaking corrosion solution! |
| Metal Turnovers |
 |
A typical AlphaSTAR bath achieves 50% more MTOs than other processes. |
| Energy Use |
 |
Baseline energy use reduced by more than 30%. |
| Water Use |
 |
AlphaSTAR uses 40% less water than leading immersion silver processes. |
| Solderability |
 |
No solderability defects during assembly. |
| Tarnish Resistance |
 |
Requires no anti-tarnish, reducing equipment, facilities and rework costs. |
| Galvanic Etch Prevention |
 |
Prevents galvanic etch formation. |
