October Issue of Design007 Magazine: Partial HDI
October 8, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Partial HDI refers to the targeted use of HDI, usually on one section of one layer of the board. It offers designers an avenue for escape routing from BGAs with a pitch of .5 mm or less, when a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is impossible. With HDI relegated to one layer of the board, fabricators can avoid the expense of sequential lamination cycles.
In the October issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away. But you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

Happy’s Tech Talk #37: New Ultra HDI Materials
02/03/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkSome new materials have been introduced in the past year for ultra high density interconnect (UHDI), a convenient title for developing high density technologies. They have received labels like semiconductor-like PCBs (SLPs), redistribution layers (RDL), flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA), and interposers. The early 2000s saw the creation of these organic substrates for flip-chip IC packaging. The initial construction was composed of a BT core with build-up layers of the Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF)
