Current IssueEngineering Economics
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.
Technology Roadmaps
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap?

Averatek Corporation Launches the A-SAP 'Community of Interest'
March 4, 2021 | AveratekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Averatek Corporation has launched the A-SAP™ Community of Interest. This web-based content platform was developed as a central resource for the industry: so that all members of the supply chain—from designers to end user—can exchange information and insights about the A-SAP™ leading-edge PCB fabrication process.
“The ability to form 15-micron feature sizes with Averatek A-SAP™ technology is proven,” said Tara Dunn, vice president of marketing and business development for Averatek. “Now we are building a community of experts who understand how to apply this benefit to PCB design and fabrication: to optimize the advantages of these tight feature sizes and reset the technology curve.”
“The electronics industry is at an inflection point,” said Haris Basit, CEO of Averatek. “The A-SAP™ process opens up high-density design opportunities, with RF and signal integrity benefits that were previously unavailable. Three commercial fabricators are implementing A-SAP™ technology now, and PCB designers can collaborate with these innovators to meet their customer needs. Next-generation design is here today.”
Averatek 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 area, layer count and weight of electronics systems - as well as provide significant RF benefits. A-SAP™ can be easily integrated with traditional PCB manufacturing equipment and materials.
