2.Intellectual Properties
1. LDS owned by V-ON is a selective activation plating technology. Which use energy beams to sublimate the selective plastics area so as to expose special nano-size particles encapsulated in the polymer matrix which is very efficient to promote the electroless plating, so only the selected area could be plated . 2. Processing: Polymer compounding molding sublimation of the selective plastics area electroless plating Cu or Ni-Cu electroless plating Ni plating Au 3. Application:Manufacture complicated 3D circuits.
