Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

iNEMI Webinar to Share Results of Wafer/Panel Level Fine Pitch Substrate Inspection/Metrology Project
February 19, 2020 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The fine pitch substrate features of advanced packaging technologies such as SiP, 2.5D, etc., can directly impact yield and performance of the package. The Wafer/Panel Level Fine Pitch Substrate Inspection/Metrology project has been organized to address the need to identify and characterize the capabilities of inspection technologies that can enable faster inspection and process development and, ultimately, higher yield in high-volume production.
This webinar will share the findings and recommendations from Phase 2 of the project, which studied the available measurement capabilities for fine line.
In addition, the webinar will outline the plans for the next phase of the project, which will focus on fabrication and inspection of organic substrates, using the TV designs from Phase 2. The team, led by Feng Xue (IBM), Joe Zou (Intel) and Charles Reynolds (IBM), plans to evaluate and quantify the limitations of automatic optical inspection (AOI) for fine pitch and defect patterns on organic substrates, and compare them to other relevant inspection methodologies. For additional project information.
Webinar Registration
The Phase 2 end-of-project webinar is being combined with the Phase 3 call-for-participation webinar. Two sessions are scheduled and are open to members and non-members.
