Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

October 15, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Taiwan-based Unimicron and Nan Ya PCB have both seen revenues for the third quarter of 2019 reach high levels thanks to robust shipments of ABF substrates, and the growth momentum is expected to persist into the fourth quarter of the year.
Unimicron's third-quarter revenues rose by 7.3% on year to NT$22.95 billion ($749.47 million), the second highest-ever quarterly level, and its January-September revenues soared 8.53% on year to NT$59.96 billion.
For Nan Ya, the networking application segment has also absorbed the largest portion of its ABF substrate shipments, with chipmakers Broadcom and HiSilicon among its major clients for such substrates. Nan Ya saw its revenues for the quarter surge by 6.49% from a year earlier to NT$8.43 billion, the highest quarterly level in five years, and revenues for the first nine months of the year gained 5.88% to reach NT$22.32 billion.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/14/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007I read an interesting article this week about a breakthrough on building microprocessors to run on microwaves rather than traditional digital circuitry. It cites an academic study that begins, “The development of high-bandwidth applications, including multi-gigabit communication and radar imaging, demands faster processing. However, in the microwave regime, where frequencies exceed clock rates, sampling and computation become challenging. Here we report an integrated microwave neural network for broadband computation and communication.”
