LaserVia Sells Intellectual Property Portfolio
December 19, 2017 | LaserVia CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
LaserVia Corporation has announced that it is putting its intellectual property portfolio up for sale.
The timing on this announcement fits well with the recent renewed interest and energy for the advancement of high density interconnects (HDI) which has increased the demand for improved laser drilled blind microvias; including z-axis interconnect using blind microvias. Potentially valuable interconnect advances include via-in-pad slots and other shapes instead of round holes allowing significant reductions in the footprint for surface mounted component pads.
Advances in laser drilling is further possible with a proposed laser drilling machine design that can drill both sides of a circuit board using an inline system for improved processing speeds resulting in lower cost:
The IP for sale includes the valuable US Patents 6,631,558 & 7,062,485.

Connect the Dots: Navigating the Intricacies of PCB Drilling
08/01/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWelcome to another leg on my quest to share best practices associated with designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. In a recent episode of the On the Line with... podcast, we discussed the critical role of drilling in the board manufacturing process. That is the subject of this article. Drilling can be one of the most complex and tricky steps in the manufacturing process. Designers need to be aware of how to craft their designs to avoid problems during drilling that can drive up costs and increase the risk of board performance issues.
