IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Gene Weiner
December 31, 2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Editor’s note: Dan Feinberg continues his series on the IPC Hall of Fame, spotlighting the achievements of past Hall of Fame members.
Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded with the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Gene Weiner.
Gene Weiner is another long-standing member of IPC and an esteemed member of the IPC Hall of Fame. I first worked for Gene when he was the vice president of marketing and sales at Dynachem. Years later, I became president of Dynachem and Gene worked for us as a consultant. Since then, we have worked together on numerous projects over many decades. As a member of IPC since 1962, a complete history of Gene’s efforts and accomplishments over the past 70 years would require writing a full book. So, here I will name just a few of his many contributions to IPC and the greater industry.

Nolan's Notes: Find the Help You Need—Accessing Technical Resources
02/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesSome close friends of mine have a card catalog in their family room—with the cards still in it. It’s just a novelty now, but it wasn’t that long ago that the card catalog was the end-all, be-all of research resources. As a college student, I remember something like two dozen or more of the very large card catalog cabinets in the Oregon State University Library. It’s not lost on me that my friend’s card catalog “liberated” from the university is a snapshot of that particular knowledge base at that particular moment in time. Today’s access to a library’s contents have changed dramatically.
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)
