  • Abstract
    This paper aims to introduce a new wet chemical process for adhesion enhancement of plated metal to epoxy molding compounds (EMC). The approach is based on an innovative combination of mechanical anchoring and chemical adhesion. The new approach broadens possible application ranges and replaces more limited processes such as sandblasting and sputtering, which have cost and technical drawbacks.
