Webcast on Troubleshooting PCB Defects
January 5, 2018 | RBP Chemical TechnologyEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
RBP Chemical Technology will be holding a webcast on January 9, 2018 on troubleshooting printed wiring board defects. Led by Mike Carano, RBP Vice President of Technology and Business Development, this webcast series will explore the most intricate factors of advanced problem solving of printed circuit board defects and how the interrelationship of both up and downstream processes contribute to scrap product.
Defects, such as interconnect separation, delamination, wedge voids, plating folds, microvoids, surface pitting, and hole wall pull-away, carry significant costs. Many are difficult to solve because the root cause may not be readily apparent and multiple factors may contribute.
The webcast will discuss innerlayer surface preparation and imaging, including cleaning, resist lamination, exposure and developing, and fine line etching; lamination and related defects; and drilling issues and the effects on plating quality.

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.
