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.

IPC Offers First Advanced Packaging Symposium
August 5, 2022 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Registration is now open for the first IPC Advanced Packaging Symposium: Building the IC-Substrate and Package Assembly Ecosystem, to be held October 11-12, 2022, at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Washington, D.C. Focusing on the opportunities and challenges for next-generation advanced packaging production, the IPC Advanced Packaging Symposium offers in-depth discussions on strengthening the IC-substrate and package assembly ecosystem across North America and Europe.
“Fundamental changes in the semiconductor sector are impacting the electronics manufacturing supply chain, and lines are blurring between IC-substrate and printed circuit board fabrication and between semiconductor and electronics assembly,” said Matt Kelly, IPC chief technologist. “Understanding these industry changes will ensure the emergence of innovative, well-balanced, and resilient ecosystems to support the production of the most cutting-edge semiconductor components.”
The two-day event, which includes three keynotes, 28 speakers, and eight sessions, will bring commercial and defense electronic industry leaders together to focus on high-priority needs for IC-substrates and packaging, to identify key challenges to overcome, enabling sustainable businesses over the long run, to move past general issue awareness into actionable research, development, design, and business operations execution, and to provide attendees with actionable next steps and an expanded network for continued development efforts.
Attendees can expect:
Speakers that span the advanced packaging ecosystem and semiconductor supply chain: component makers, HDI PCB fabricators, market-leading IC-Substrate fabricators, assembly and test manufacturers, equipment, and material suppliers.
Three keynotes from senior leaders at Intel, Department of Defense, and TechSearch International.
An eight-session agenda includes the latest insights from the Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, European Commission, Intel, NIST, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Schweizer Electronic, SEMCO, SkyWater, TechSearch International, TTM, and Western Digital among others.
