Why material consistency matters more than ever
As electronics manufacturing becomes more advanced , the tolerance for variation is getting smaller. Across PCB fabrication, imaging, plating and semiconductor -related processes, we have seen the same pattern again and again: even small changes in chemistry can influence yield, performance and long-term reliability. Material consistency has become one of the strongest levers manufacturers can use to keep production stable. It protects processes, reduces uncertainty and gives teams more confidence that every batch will behave exactly as expected. Consistency is the foundation of reliability Every chemistry used in electronics production follows a performance curve. When materials drift outside their expected window, the effects can be seen across the line. Developing speed shifts, resist behaviour changes, deposits look different, sidewalls move, and final solderability and reliability can be affected in ways that only become visible much later. In the past, experienced operat...
