VeCS HDI Process Technology: Has the Time Come for Broader Adoption?

08/25/2026 | Joan Tourné, NextGin Technology
Packaging technology has always driven the PCB, but today's AI and high-performance computing devices are accelerating that relationship. As compute density, bandwidth, and power requirements increase, package, substrate, and PCB design become more interdependent. Modern AI processors, such as NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, require thousands of package connections, support multiple stacks of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and can dissipate as much as 1,000 watts of power or more. These demands are driving new approaches to package substrates, redistribution layers (RDLs), thermal management, and PCB fabrication, where manufacturing itself is becoming a limiting factor.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: X-ray Inspection of Ball Grid Array Solder Joints

08/07/2026 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone Pile
Ball grid array (BGA) devices are ubiquitous in electronic products primarily due to their advantages, including compact packaging, greater durability than leaded devices, and improved performance from shorter signal paths. BGAs improve electrical performance by reducing inductance and capacitance between the internal silicon die and the PCB, resulting in superior signal integrity and faster operation speeds. BGAs also offer superior thermal performance by dissipating heat more effectively, reducing the risk of overheating.

Trouble in Your Tank: The Role of Organic Solderability Preservatives in Advanced Packaging

06/08/2026 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your Tank
Technology trends shaping the electronics industry supply chain—AI, IoT, ADAS, and high-performance computing (HPC)—are driving finer circuit features and higher layer counts. Advanced packaging drives the selection of surface finishes depending on the application. Typical designs require excellent solder joint reliability and wire bondability. It is not uncommon for designers to specify the organic solderability preservatives (OSP) on the BGA side of the substrate and precious-metal-plated finishes on the top side, which facilitate wire bonding.
