Contributing Factors to the Reliability of Buried Vias in High-Density Interconnect PCBs

In recent years, most research on high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs focused on microvias. Based on previous test results in the frame of the ongoing research project on HDI PCBs for space .. read more

Design and Process Implementation Principles for Embedded Components

Vern Solberg is an independent consultant specializing in SMT and microelectronics design and manufacturing technology. He has served the industry for more than twenty-five years in areas relat .. read more

Controlling Moisture in Printed Circuit Boards

Moisture can accelerate various failure mechanisms in printed circuit board assemblies. Moisture can be initially present in the epoxy glass prepreg,absorbed during the wet processes in printed .. read more

Deposition of Thin Copper in Pre-formed Vias on Thin Flexible Base Materials

This paper reports on further developments for an innovative copper deposition technology that was presented two years ago at this conference. At that time,the innovative technology was describ .. read more

Design and Fabrication of Thinner,Higher Speed Flexible Circuits

Modern flexible printed circuits demand improved signal integrity due to increasing data rate requirements for interconnects. At the same time,form factors available to designers are becoming s .. read more
