The Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.

Isola Exhibits High-Reliability Copper-Clad Laminates at PCB West
September 11, 2017 | Isola GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Isola Group, the leading global and local manufacturer of copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepregs for use in PCB boards announces it will exhibit at PCB West in Santa Clara, CA, on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Isola will display in booth #613 adjacent to its distributor Insulectro in #615.
“Isola is presenting a broad array of products that are truly exciting for our customers,” commented Sean Mirshafiei, Global Vice President of Marketing. “We are exhibiting high speed digital products, like Tachyon® 100G, I-Tera® MT40, and I-Speed® that facilitate next generation designs. As circuit boards continue to become thinner, smaller, and faster, OEM designers are demanding a new breed of materials with lower loss and lower Dk to design and build boards that were never before possible.”
In addition to the HSD dielectric materials for advanced designs, Isola will also present Halogen-free, High-reliability FR-4, and RF/Microwave laminates.
Since 1991, PCB West has been the place designers, fabricators and assemblers have gathered to exchange ideas and learn better ways to make printed circuit boards. Over 2,000 industry professionals participate in a one-day exhibition and three-day technical conference held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. It is Silicon Valley's largest event for the PCB industry.
"I look forward to greeting Isola customers and sharing with them the direction our company is going. PCB West is an important tradeshow that offers attendees unique opportunities to improve skills, increase knowledge, and network with peers, colleagues, and experts," Mirshafiei concluded.
The exhibit floor is open Wednesday, September 13, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Isola is a leading global material sciences company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets laminate materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards, which provide the physical platforms for the semiconductors, passive components, and connection circuitry that power and control virtually all modern electronic products. Isola operates a network of factories worldwide.

Connect the Dots: Sequential Lamination in HDI PCB Manufacturing
07/31/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsAs HDI technology becomes mainstream in high-speed and miniaturized electronics, understanding the PCB manufacturing process can help PCB design engineers create successful, cost-effective designs using advanced technologies. Designs that incorporate blind and buried vias, boards with space constraints, sensitive signal integrity requirements, or internal heat dissipation concerns are often candidates for HDI technology and usually require sequential lamination to satisfy the requirements.
OKI Launches Rigid-Flex PCBs with Embedded Copper Coins Featuring Improved Heat Dissipation for Space Equipment Applications

Designers Notebook: Basic PCB Planning Criteria—Establishing Design Constraints
07/22/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookPrinted circuit board development flows more smoothly when all critical issues are predefined and understood from the start. As a basic planning strategy, the designer must first consider the product performance criteria, then determine the specific industry standards or specifications that the product must meet. Planning also includes a review of all significant issues that may affect the product’s manufacture, performance, reliability, overall quality, and safety.
