Current IssueIn 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.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

AT&S Supplies High-tech Components for New Leica M 11
February 9, 2022 | AT&SEstimated reading time: 1 minute

For more than a century, the name Leica has stood for lenses and cameras with the highest quality, first-class workmanship “Made in Germany” and ease of use. Whether photography beginners, ambitious amateur, or professional photographers – they all gladly rely on the high-quality high-tech products from the Leitz Park in Wetzlar (Germany), the corporate headquarters of Leica Camera AG.
With the new Leica M11, the company is once again setting a milestone, combining the unique experience of traditional rangefinder photography with state-of-the-art camera technology. At the heart of the new M generation in the iconic Leica design is a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with triple resolution technology: raw files in DNG format or JPEGs can be created with a resolution of either 60, 36, or 18 megapixels. Thus, the M11 offers even more flexibility and allows shooting in outstanding image quality.
This is where AT&S, as a development partner of innovative PCB and interconnection technologies, comes into play: A total of twelve different AT&S circuit boards are included in the new M11, including the solutions for integrating the image sensor and image processing. “The trust that a premium manufacturer like Leica places in AT&S products and solutions once again confirms our company’s solution expertise and technological capabilities,” says AT&S CEO Andreas Gerstenmayer.
The printed circuit boards are manufactured both at the Hinterberg site and at the AT&S plant in Korea. The use of special AT&S technologies that allow very compact and flexible electronic interconnection solutions makes it possible for Leica to build digital cameras that offer maximum performance in the smallest possible space while consuming very little energy.
