Current IssueVoices 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.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Atotech to Participate at IPCA Expo in India
September 23, 2019 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Atotech, a worldwide leader in providing specialty chemicals and equipment for the printed circuit board, IC substrate and semiconductor industries, will participate in this year's edition of IPCA Expo. The trade fair will be co-located with electronica India, productronica India, and Smart Cards Expo on September 25–27, 2019, in Halls 11 and 12 of the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida, Delhi, India.
The Indian Printed Circuit Association (IPCA) and the IPCA Expo promote state-of-the-art PCB technology and business in India by mutual exchange of ideas and technical interactions. This trade fair brings the entire PCB industry ecosystem and value chain together. It will showcase the latest PCB technologies from manufacturers and suppliers from across the globe to facilitate the growing demand of PCBs in various industry segments.
Visitors to the trade fair are invited to stop by Atotech's booth E109 in Hall 11 to talk to the Group's PCB experts and to learn about their latest innovations, including wet chemical process and equipment solutions.
Atotech's key highlights at IPCA Expo 2019 include the following:
- Polygon PLB Line—is Atotech's new desmear and electroless copper line for excellent blind micro via filling capability enabling high reliable multilayer, rigid-flex and HDI PCB production
- ViaKing—is an enhanced graphite-based, cost effective, but technically very capable direct metallization process for flex, multilayer, HDI and exotic base materials.
- OS-Tech—is an environmentally friendly, high functioning simple process. It can guarantee multiple solder reflow cycles whilst ensuring that the pretreatment can optimize the copper surface best-in-class and therefore facilitate an even OSP coating.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
