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.

Ventec’s German Facility Successfully Passes ISO 9001:2015 Audit
August 15, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Ventec International Group’s Central European facility located in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany has successfully passed the audit for the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard.
The nearly 3000sqm manufacturing, distribution and sales facility in Germany was first certified for ISO 9001:2015 back in 2016 joining Ventec's global network of manufacturing and service centers in Asia, Europe and the USA that all comply with the standard.
PCB fabrication customers can continue to rely on Ventec's fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and prepregs. From manufacture through fabrication and delivery, Ventec's high-quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4, its tec-speed range of high speed/low loss materials and the tec-thermal range of high performance IMS materials are all covered by the certification.
"ISO guidelines and quality certifications such as AS9100 Rev D, IATF 16949:2016 and IPC 4101 QPL are very important for Ventec," said Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & Americas. "Passing the audit at our German facility in Kirchheimbolanden is in line with our overall strategy to offer best services and quality materials to our clients across our global supply chain. ISO 9001 along with our other certifications recognizes that our team ensures consistent quality of our solutions."
Frank Lorentz, Production Manager at the German facility added: "The team in Kirchheimbolanden should take great pride in this accomplishment which reflects their hard work in implementing and practicing the highest levels of quality throughout our manufacturing processes, enabling our customers to engage Ventec as a strategic partner in their safety-critical supply chains, based on our commitment to managing delivered quality to the highest standards."

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
