With the theme “Global Event. Global Vision,” HKPCA & IPC Show 2015 will feature, among others, a "Smart Automation Pavilion," which will be launched in line with the developments of Industry 4.0. This will provide attendees and delegates an opportunity to leverage on automated equipment to improve their production efficiency and create a truly intelligent production facility.

A three-day International Conference will feature global experts and luminaries to discuss a series of the hottest topics in the industry right now, such as environmental protection and energy conservation, and intelligent automation, as well as future market trends.

Other popular events such as the Technical Forum and the Hand Soldering Competition will continue to provide delegates plenty of educational and networking opportunities.

Microvias connect adjacent copper layers to complete electrical paths. There are copper-filled microvias, which can be stacked to form connections beyond adjacent copper layers, and staggered microvias, which stitch adjacent copper layers with paths that meander on the layers between the microvias. This article discusses the various laser-drilled microvias and presents SEM photographs to begin the search for the root cause of weak copper interface.
