Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering 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.

Bowman Technical Team Appoints Principal Engineer
December 20, 2021 | BowmanEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Bowman, a US manufacturer of XRF quality control instruments, has announced a principal addition to its headquarters organization.
Xin Jiang joined the company as Principal Electrical/Firmware Engineer. He holds an MSE (Master of Science, Electrical Engineering) and has 30+ years of experience in digital circuits, embedded software, and product design. He has an impressive record with UL, CE, and FDA compliance and testing, and will lead Bowman’s effort in designing electronics for automated XRF tools and next-generation instruments.
In his previous posts, he specialized in HPLC chromatography and X-ray technology for medical device applications, and was a consulting test engineer for Teradyne, a semiconductor test equipment provider.
His responsibilities at Bowman cover firmware, product design, and regulatory compliance; he reports to Engineering Manager, Robert Magyar.
Bowman is a leading manufacturer of precision XRF plating measurement systems, providing equipment evaluation, selection, commissioning, maintenance and quality systems modernization throughout North America, South America, and Eurasia.

Global PCB Connections: Following DFM Rules Leads to Better Boards
12/18/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a PCB field applications engineer, ensuring smooth communication between PCB designers and fabricators is one of my frequent challenges. A critical part of that dialogue is design for manufacturing (DFM). Many designers, even experienced ones, often misunderstand or overlook important DFM considerations. They may confuse design rules with manufacturing minimums, leading to technically feasible designs that are difficult or costly to produce. In this column, I will clarify some common DFM guidelines and help designers understand the difference between “design rules” and “minimums” while sharing best practices that will simplify the production process and ensure the highest quality PCB.
