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.

Study on Application of Four-Wire and Four-Terminal Flying Probe Test Scheme
August 10, 2018 | Jin Erbing, Joint Stars Technology Co., LtdEstimated reading time: 6 minutes
In the process, because of poor conduction caused by residual glue and poor plating after laser drilling, it is more likely to be completely OPEN after high-temperature welding at the client end, as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10: Blind buried hole defect.
The coil plate must test the etch fluctuation of the coil and detect the short circuit problem in the coil, as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11: Circuit defect.
The above problems can be tested by the following methods:
This test method and software have obtained the National Computer Software Copyright Registration Certificate. The certificate number is No. 0926001.
Test Basis
The resistance value of each line on the board is automatically learned by the machine. The standard resistance of each circuit of this batch of boards is calculated by the software of “Board Test Analysis System Software.” The unique convergence of the discriminatory principle, you can get rid of all abnormal data in the study, the volatility can help engineers quickly understand the batch status. And according to the learning resistance fluctuations, accurate error setting values are given.

In Conclusion
With the four-wire and four-terminal flying probe test method, voids in the holes formed in the PCB due to process differences, thin copper, and poor conduction due to residual adhesive after laser drilling of the HDI board can be detected, and the circuit board guide can be solved. With the development of multilayer, high-density PCB layout, four-wire four-terminal flying probe testing will play an increasingly important role.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
