The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Averatek Announces A-SAP License Agreement with American Standard Circuits
January 28, 2020 | AveratekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Averatek Incorporated has announced American Standard Circuits as an A-SAP™ licensee. A-SAP™ is an advanced PCB manufacturing technology that enables feature sizes of 25 microns and below, effectively providing PCB designers with new opportunities to address the challenges of next-generation electronics.
“American Standard Circuits' RF expertise—in combination with our long-term, relationship-driven approach to customer development—will serve the PCB design community well as we learn to fully understand all of the possible benefits of this emerging technology. Our goal at ASC is to always be at the forefront of technology, and the A-SAP™ technology allows us to do that once again. We welcome the opportunity to work with the team at Averatek and redefining the future," said Anaya Vardya, president and CEO of American Standard Circuits.
“Averatek is delighted to be working closely with American Standard Circuits” said Haris Basit, CEO of Averatek. “ASC has demonstrated significant capability in high-performance and high-frequency PCBs and Averatek’s ultra-high-density A-SAP™ process represents a strong complementary capability to support next-generation electronics requirements.”
Averatek’s A-SAP™ is an advanced manufacturing process for printed circuit board fabrication with trace and space widths as narrow as 15 microns. This process can dramatically reduce the area, layer count, and weight of electronics systems as well as provide significant RF benefits. A-SAP™ has been designed to be easily integrated with traditional PCB manufacturing equipment and materials.

11/25/2024 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceIn continuing my series on finding, signing, and keeping good people for your company, this month we discuss hiring good people for your quality department. Even when hiring was easier, hiring for the quality department has always been especially challenging. It takes a special kind of person: someone with attention to detail, someone ready to stand for his or her convictions, and someone who can stand up under pressure when the company needs to ship product and the quality manager refuses to because it is not up to par. The quality department is the very soul of any manufacturing company.
