Follow the Story: Building the Hardware Behind AI

September 24, 2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007

When TTM opened its new UHDI facility in New York earlier this year, it wasn't simply adding another PCB factory. As the largest circuit board builder in the United States, TTM was investing in technologies that bring PCB fabrication closer to the complex world of semiconductor packaging. The advent of AI helps explain why that matters. The enormous compute power required by AI is pushing chip performance to new levels, but those chips don't operate in isolation.

As PCB technology has evolved, the structures being evaluated become more complex. But have the methods used to determine their reliability evolved at the same pace? In The Printed Circuit Assembler's Guide to... Via Structures: Reflow Process Survivability, Reliability, and Robustness, Bob Neves challenges some long-held assumptions about how the electronics industry evaluates PCB via structures. He draws on decades of reliability experience, and examines not only how we test, but what those tests actually tell us.
