Ventec's Technology Ambassador Alun Morgan to Keynote at AltiumLive 2019
January 14, 2019 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, is pleased to announce Technology Ambassador Alun Morgan as a keynote speaker at the AltiumLive summit in Munich on the 16 January 2019 with a presentation on ‘PCB base material properties and developments: What designers need to know'.
AltiumLive is the annual PCB design summit which has quickly become one of the largest electronics conferences in the world.
Alun's presentation will focus on PCB base material properties and developments, aiming to give designers a greater understanding of the base materials used in their designs and the critical properties of base materials that impact performance.
Alun will review the development of high reliability base materials for PCBs with a focus on thermal performance, reliability and signal integrity. He will explore classification by application as a method of substrate selection which gives the designer the flexibility to select the appropriate substrate for an application without over engineering performance that is neither required nor can be afforded. The presentation includes a straightforward guide to the PCB substrate manufacturing process emphasising the impact of resin chemistry, material reinforcement and copper foil properties on substrate performance. Armed with this knowledge, PCB Designers will be able to better specify and choose appropriate materials for their needs.
Ian Mayoh, European technical support manager, will also be expertly on hand throughout the event and at the Ventec booth for any technical advice required.

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.
Trouble in Your Tank: Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper
05/09/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the business of printed circuit fabrication, yield-reducing and costly defects can easily catch even the most seasoned engineers and production personnel off guard. In this month’s column, I’ll investigate copper plating voids with their genesis in the pre-plating process steps.
Elephantech: For a Greener Tomorrow
04/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineNobuhiko Okamoto is the global sales and marketing manager for Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup with a vision to make electronics more sustainable. The company is developing a metal inkjet technology that can print directly on the substrate and then give it a copper thickness by plating. In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
