Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices 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.

Advanced Copper Foil Inc. Granted Trademark Registration for EUROPADS
June 16, 2020 | Matrix USA Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Matrix USA Inc. is pleased to announce the official Trademark registration for their Lamination Assist products - EUROPADS®. Designed as Printed Circuit Board Lamination Press Pads, they are manufactured to offer both heat lagging insulating characteristics as well as pressure equalization benefits. EUROPADS proprietary elements of design is a consistent performing option for PCB Lamination optimization.
Under the EURO Lamination Assist product offering, EUROPADS is the flagship component of the Lamination Assist family of products enabling users to have an alternative product selection to enhance and improve their manufacturing yields whether its for Flexible PCB Circuit Lamination or conventional Multilayer PCB Circuit Lamination.
“In todays tumultuous market conditions EUROPADS are in stock and can be easily dropped into any PCB manufacturing process,” according to Kieran Healy President of Matrix USA. “All of the Lamination Assist product offering is backed by a team of Sales and Technical Support Associates extending well beyond forty years of hands-on working experience in the NA PCB marketplace,” Mr. Healy goes on to note.
“EUROPADS is the flagship drop in lamination assist product because of its ease of versatility when introduced to all of the different process parameters, materials used and handling conditions,” according to Peter Decaneas, Product Manager for Lamination Assist at Matrix. “I explain to our customers that given all of the different challenges sourcing Lamination Assist products starting with EUROPADS are a great foundation to a successful cost-effective transition from current practice.”

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
