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.

Aismalibar to Present Cured Bond Sheets at electronica
November 8, 2016 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aismalibar is happy to announce they are exhibiting at the electronica trade show in Munich, Germany on November 8-11. Electronica is the leading electronics manufacturing showcase in Europe. Aismalibar will be located in HALL B-4 BOOTH 134 and encourage attendees to come see their cutting edge thermal management solutions.
Aismalibar will be launching Cured Bond Sheets, their newest high technology prepreg solution. This prepreg material can substitute silicon materials to act as a thermal interface material between the Cobritherm HTC product range and the heatsink.
Aismalibar will also be showcasing Fastherm, their newest high technology Insulated Metal Substrate. Fastherm was developed by Aismalibar to achieve a faster thermal transition from the LED thermal pad to the heat sink.
This superior thermal transition can be achieved by using the entire Cobritherm HTC product range with either a copper or copper/aluminium base. By using Aismalibar Cobritherm HTC range together with Fastherm technology, LEDs operate at a temperature 30ºC to 50ºC lower due to the direct thermal transition from the thermal pad to the heat sink.
Managing Director, Eduardo Benmayor states, “We are very excited to be participating in electronica 2016 and to be launching our newest prepreg techonology, Cured Bond Sheets. The PCB industry is always moving very fast and we are determinded to continue to position ourselves as a leader in thermal solutions.”
About Aismalibar
Aismalibar was one of the first IMS laminate manufacturers in the world and was the first in Europe. Aismalibar is proud to introduce their material to the North American market in 2012. Their product IMS Cobritherm is a qualified and recognized Insulated Metal Substrate which gives the best thermal management solutions with high thermal conductivity, low thermal impedance and high dielectric capacity. Aismalibar has implement a 100% proof test with 1-3KV (High Pot Test) to all IMS laminates coming out of their plant. This is the only way to insure the dialectical strength is perfect and that production problems are detected before PCBs arrive to the end user.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
