t = 0 Aspect Ratio = [A/B]0	t = x Aspect Ratio = [A/B]X

Uniform current distribution plays a role in via filling. Control of the current density profile, possible with DSA® anodes, can help meet via filling requirements in production.

Our Commercial Experience

“We at Photocircuits have commercially operated ELTECH’s Synergy anodes in our PAL line for 24+ months. The benefits that we’ve seen using Synergy anodes include nodule free boards, improved copper plating distribution, increased board throughput, ease of plating operation and reduced maintenance. Additionally, we have operated with our traditional bath chemistry, and observed no additional brightener consumption compared to soluble copper anodes.”

Other Applications for Synergy™ / DT Anodes

• Trivalent Chrome Plating — Improved metal plating distribution and ease of maintenance with light weight titanium structures.
• Gravure Cylinder Plating — Better plating distribution, eliminates sludge and nodules and improves maintenance.
• Ni/ZnCl Balancing Anode — Eliminate these blocks for now, we may add pictures later.
