Current IssueLearning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

Isola Exhibits High-Reliability Copper-Clad Laminates at PCB West
September 11, 2017 | Isola GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Isola Group, the leading global and local manufacturer of copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepregs for use in PCB boards announces it will exhibit at PCB West in Santa Clara, CA, on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Isola will display in booth #613 adjacent to its distributor Insulectro in #615.
“Isola is presenting a broad array of products that are truly exciting for our customers,” commented Sean Mirshafiei, Global Vice President of Marketing. “We are exhibiting high speed digital products, like Tachyon® 100G, I-Tera® MT40, and I-Speed® that facilitate next generation designs. As circuit boards continue to become thinner, smaller, and faster, OEM designers are demanding a new breed of materials with lower loss and lower Dk to design and build boards that were never before possible.”
In addition to the HSD dielectric materials for advanced designs, Isola will also present Halogen-free, High-reliability FR-4, and RF/Microwave laminates.
Since 1991, PCB West has been the place designers, fabricators and assemblers have gathered to exchange ideas and learn better ways to make printed circuit boards. Over 2,000 industry professionals participate in a one-day exhibition and three-day technical conference held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. It is Silicon Valley's largest event for the PCB industry.
"I look forward to greeting Isola customers and sharing with them the direction our company is going. PCB West is an important tradeshow that offers attendees unique opportunities to improve skills, increase knowledge, and network with peers, colleagues, and experts," Mirshafiei concluded.
The exhibit floor is open Wednesday, September 13, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Isola is a leading global material sciences company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets laminate materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards, which provide the physical platforms for the semiconductors, passive components, and connection circuitry that power and control virtually all modern electronic products. Isola operates a network of factories worldwide.

The Chemical Connection: Surface Finishes for PCBs
03/31/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWriting about surface finishes brings a feeling of nostalgia. You see, one of my first jobs in the industry was providing technical support for surface cleaning processes and finishes to enhance dry film adhesion to copper surfaces. I’d like to take this opportunity to revisit the basics, indulge in my nostalgia, and perhaps provide some insight into why we do things the way we do them in the here and now.
