Current IssueThe 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.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

Multilayer Technology Passes AS9100 Surveillance Audit
June 23, 2015 | Multilayer TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Multilayer Technology (MLT), located in Irving, Texas has passed its AS9100C surveillance audits. The audit consisted of 2.5 days (20 hours) of intense auditing by our registrar. All departments were completely audited to ensure compliance to the AS9100C Certification. This audit marks the five-year anniversary that Multilayer Technology has maintained this highly prestigious certification.
Viny Mulani president of Multilayer offered the following, “The organization has continued to benefit in all 3 critical audit areas- Sales, Purchasing and Production.” The surveillance process is more than just an audit; it is an honest third-party evaluation of how our corporation functions on a daily basis and highlights areas for improvement that our internal audits may not disclose.”
Multilayer Technology utilizes internal IPC certified auditors to conduct all ongoing audits. The internal audit process always yields valuable insight into potential modification to our current processes and/or procedures however it is highly beneficial to have the 3rd party audit and allow us to make corrections to proactively avoid any potential impact on the customer product quality, performance and/or delivery.
The results of this audit turned out to be quite exceptional with the operations and purchasing departments receiving a rating of 3 and sales department with a rating of 4, the highest possible. This was no doubt due to the company's commitment to this process as well as the diligence of the quality department to maintain this certification.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Global PCB Connections: Embedded Components—The Future of High-performance PCB Design
06/19/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsA promising advancement in this space is the integration of embedded components directly within the PCB substrate. Embedded components—such as resistors, capacitors, and even semiconductors—can be placed within the internal layers of the PCB rather than mounted on the surface. This enables designers to maximize available real estate and improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
