Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

Saki to Exhibit Next Generation Inspection Solution Upgrades at SMTconnect 2022
April 12, 2022 | Saki CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Saki Corporation, an innovator in the field of automated optical and X-ray inspection equipment, will be exhibiting at SMTconnect in Nuremberg, Germany. From 10-12 May, visitors to Saki's booth 135 in Hall 4A will be invited to see the latest inspection solution upgrades of the company’s 3D-SPI, 3D-AOI and 3D-AXI inspection ranges. The Saki technology team will also present latest hard- and software innovations including Saki’s innovative Z-axis optical head control for 3D-AOI systems alongside its bottom-side 2D-AOI and latest 3D-SPI platform.
With live demonstrations, Saki will offer booth visitors a first-hand look at the unique features of the latest hardware and software releases with an emphasis on reliability, speed, quality, and Smart Factory readiness for applications across all industrial sectors.
Show-highlights include:
3D-AOI - 3Di-LS2 with 12?m high resolution Z-axis optical head control feature, and side camera
Saki’s new Z-axis optical-head control feature was developed in response to the increase of customer applications demanding accurate inspection of tall components, press-fit components and PCBAs in jigs. The innovative optical-head offers the industry’s highest level of inspection capability with a height-measurement range in 3D mode up to 40mm. The focus height in 2D is also increased to 40mm. With these capabilities, Saki’s 3Di-AOI Series fulfills inspection capabilities and flexibility far beyond standard SMT inspection processes with accuracy, speed, and ease.
3D-CT AXI - 3Xi-M110
Saki's compact, lightweight, Inline 3D-CT automated X-ray inspection (AXI) machine for printed circuit board assemblies. The 3Xi-M110 machine, which now comes with new software that reduces cycle time by up to 50%, ensures the quality of hidden solder joints for bottom-electrode packages such as BGAs, LGAs, QFNs, flip-chip, and package-on-package and provides precise volumetric measurements and shape reconstruction to find voids, head-in-pillow, and other defects that are difficult to identify.
3D-SPI - 3Si-LS2
Saki's high-precision and high-speed 3D solder paste inspection machine. The single-lane system is equipped with a 12µm camera head for board sizes from 50mm×60mm to 500mm×510mm.
2D-AOI - 2Di-LU1 (bottom-side 2D-AOI)
The 2Di-LU1 is a 2D-AOI machine of choice for fast, stable and reliable automated inspection of the bottom-side of PCBs. It shares the same software platform as Saki’s 3D-SPI and 3D-AOI solutions. Its proprietary high-speed Line Scan imaging technology ensures the quality of through-hole solder parts after dip, selective, and wave soldering, and improves productivity. Using the same system options as Saki’s SPI and AOI solutions reduces operator workload and running costs.
Full Line Control Software Solutions
Saki's software suite & line control systems demonstrate the company's data-driven approach to continuous productivity improvement. Visitors to the Saki booth will experience the full IPC-CFX certified machine-to-machine connectivity capability, full line control enabled by Saki’s Offline Teaching station (BF2-Editor), Verification station (BF2-Monitor), Multi Process View and QD Analyzer for advanced Statistical Process Control (SPC).
“Germany has long been regarded as the manufacturing powerhouse of Europe, and, together with our longstanding partner Selecs, we are excited to be back at SMTconnect after the live show had to be cancelled two years in a row due to the global pandemic. We are looking forward to meeting our customers and prospects live and in person to introduce them to our latest inspection solutions,” said Jarda Neuhauser, General Manager of Saki EU.

Some Fundamentals of Tin-Bismuth Metallurgy and Electromigration
09/24/2024 | Prabjit Singh, Raiyo Aspandiar, Haley Fu, and L. A. SwaminathanNear-eutectic tin-bismuth alloy is a strong contender as the solder of choice for low-temperature electronic assembly applications. This article will describe the recent significant developments by the iNEMI project team on the understanding of the electromigration behavior of Sn-Bi solder which has a unique physical metallurgy and electromigration behavior quite different for that of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder and other solders in common use today.
