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?

Aismalibar Gives Address at 2021 Cooling Days Conference
November 10, 2021 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Cooling Days conference was launched to ensure that developers and equipment manufacturers are optimally prepared to meet these challenges. Numerous aspects of cooling, especially related to electronic components and PCBs, were analyzed this year’s two-day conference. Experts from Science, industry and research explained the most important basics and presented new processes and products for electronics cooling.
Aismalibar’s Business Development Manager, Uwe Lemke, provided an in-depth presentation, the key focus of which was Aismalibar’s Thermal Interface Material Technologies.
Materials specifically discussed were:
1. BONDSHEET Cured, heat conductive foil with high dielectric strength, silicon-free
- Now available plus adhesive film for easier power module assembly
- Available either single or double-sided adhesive
- Customers can select from different adhesive film manufacturers
- On customer request, foils can be contoured to fit with PCB outline for prototypes and mass production
- This technology is available today and Aismalibar can supply samples and support serial production
2. Dual Thermal Coating, DTC: High thermal conductivity two-layer dielectric bonding construction
- New coating technology under investigation and test at major automotive suppliers for future e-car applications (e.g. low and high voltage inverters / On-Board-Chargers)
- Offers Excellent thermal conductivity with high dielectric strength
- DTC can potentially waive mechanical connections inside power module
3. BONDSHEET Cured plus B-Stage coating, combining best of above two Thermal Interface Technologies (TIM)
- Cured thermally conductive Foil Core combined with B-Stage bonding layer
- Available either single or double sided
- Under Aismalibar development in lab status, early test samples available

Marcy's Musings: Engineering Economics
11/19/2024 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThe real cost to manufacture a PCB, sometimes referred to as the "loaded cost," encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. Happy Holden calls it "Engineering Economics," and dedicated a chapter in his book, 24 Essential Skills for Engineers, to the subject.
