The Japanese gold plating processing company is trailblazing the circuit board industry with its unique electroless technology, offering a speedy and accurate service to customers from a variety of sectors including the automotive market.
Established in 1944, Japanese company, Yamato Denki, offers electrolysis gold plating processing for printed circuit boards. Electrolysis technology is used for semiconductor packaging by companies for a variety of products, from electronic control units in the automotive industry to nano flash memory devices. This innovative technology is also used for image censoring and complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) sensors, which are commonly found in smartphones, electric vehicles and cameras.
As electronic components became smaller and electronic circuit designs became finer, ensuring that circuits conducted electricity has proved difficult. To address this, President of the company, Masahiro Hara, explains that the company developed an electroless plating technology that uses a three-layer structure consisting of nickel, gold and palladium. Mr. Hara points out that “in recent years, the need for gold plating on the electrodes of semiconductor chips has increased, and this three-layer plating process has been adopted to address this demand.” Such advanced selective plating technologies give the company an advantage over its competitors by ensuring precise circuit formation and higher adhesive film.
Since 2012, Yamato Denki’s efforts have been focused on Thailand where demand for electronic components in the automotive industry has increased. Mr. Hara notes the advantages of having a factory in Thailand for both the company and its customers, as it “allows us to receive products transferred from Japan, whilst allowing customers to make preferential processing requests for new products with a reputable company.” Mr. Hara intends to strengthen this Japan-Thailand partnership by pooling all of the company’s resources into the collaboration.
