Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline

AT&S Brings High-Tech to the Museumsquartier
May 6, 2024 | AT&SEstimated reading time: 1 minute

AT&S, as a “MQ goes Green” partner, has prepared special highlights for the occasion: Visitors aged eight and above can embark on an interactive journey through the fascinating world of microelectronics. They will discover what happens inside a smartphone, experience what it is like to work in a cleanroom, and observe tiny electronic components under a microscope at the AT&S stations.
Using VR glasses, visitors can virtually explore the inner workings of a smartphone and witness the complexity of modern data processing systems. The electronic components used must be incredibly small to fit into our pockets, much thinner than a human hair. Visitors can see these otherwise invisible structures on the high-tech components through a powerful microscope. Achieving such fine circuitry requires precise and clean work from microelectronics manufacturers. AT&S experts at the Museumsquartier will explain what this means for workers: many products can only be manufactured in cleanrooms that are practically dust-free. Visitors to the AT&S stations can get a sense of working in this highly purified environment by donning real cleanroom suits and learning all about one of the cleanest production facilities in the world, currently being completed by AT&S in Leoben.
Unforgettable impressions and lasting memories
To ensure that visitors take home not only beautiful memories and new knowledge, they are invited to create individual souvenirs from electronic components at the AT&S booth. Together with the AT&S team, they can color circuit board cities and create jewelry from printed circuit boards. Our on-site experts look forward to exciting questions, enthusiastic creators, and amazed faces. In addition to AT&S’s interactive microelectronics show, visitors to the “KinderKulturParcours” throughout the Museumsquartier can explore many other interesting offerings, from museum exhibitions to various games and culinary delights in the gastronomy establishments.
AT&S wishes all children and their accompanying adults a lot of fun exploring the colorful world of the Museumsquartier.

Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator
03/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.
