Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In 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.

iNEMI's End-of-Project Webinar: 1st Level Interconnect Void Characterization Project, Phase 2
May 23, 2022 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Phase 2 of the 1st Level Interconnect Void Characterization project focused on understanding the potentially adverse impact that voids in first level interconnect materials have on the reliability of the electrical interconnect. The formation of small voids can occur in solder-based flip chip joints during the assembly process. This can be a concern for applications that involve high electrical and thermal flux across flip chip packages because the presence of a void can accelerate complete open failure due to electromigration.
The project team conducted experiments to understand the relationship between voids and joint reliability (electrical and mechanical) and worked on recommendations for acceptable voiding characteristics for flip chip interconnects. This end-of-project webinar will present the reliability test results for first level interconnection — performed by electromigration, temperature cycle and thermal shock testing — and will include descriptions of the test packages, reliability test conditions, test data of cross-section images and EBSD data.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
