Current IssueFueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner 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.

Rogers Corporation Highlights Advanced Materials at Defense TechConnect Summit & Expo
September 19, 2022 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rogers Corporation will exhibit its advanced material solutions for Aerospace & Defense markets at the Defense TechConnect Summit & Expo 2022, Booth # 513, at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center, in National Harbor, MD, Sept. 27-28, 2022.
Learn more about Rogers’ multilayer copper clad laminate solutions and formable/shaped dielectric systems designed to meet smaller size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements in complex electronic assemblies; advanced magneto dielectric systems (MAGTREX® laminates) for impressive miniaturization of antennas and other electromagnetic (EM) assemblies; and novel dielectric composite materials for use in 3D additive manufacturing processes that can expand the performance of antennas and sensor systems. Rogers develops material solutions for enhanced signal integrity (SI), improved EM performance and thermal management of critical electronic applications.
Rogers Corporation continues to develop material solutions for the changing needs of electronic industries and will bring an experienced team of technologists to Defense TechConnect Innovation Summit & Expo to help present and enable prospective partners to meet and exceed their system requirements. The popular expo is a global forum for Rogers to showcase their technologies, materials, engineering capabilities, and advanced solutions and invite in-booth discussions concerning the challenges posed by current and emerging applications, and how Rogers’ unique materials solutions can help overcome these challenges.
“Rogers’ commitment to the aerospace and defense electronics industry transcends our traditional laminate materials. We are pleased to introduce to the innovation community the advanced material solutions and capabilities Rogers can employ to solve complex challenges faced by our partners. I hope to see many of you at the show.” – John Ekis, Market Segment Director.

DesignCon 2025, Day 2: It’s All About AI
01/30/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s hard to get away from the topic of artificial intelligence, but why would you? It’s everywhere and in everything, and my time attending presentations about AI at DesignCon 2025 was well worth it. The conference’s agenda featured engaging presentations and discussions focused on the technological advancements in AI, big data centers, and memory innovations, emphasizing the critical relationship between processors and circuit boards.
Beyond Design: Electro-optical Circuit Boards
01/22/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignPredicting the role of PCB designers in 10 years is a challenge. If only I had a crystal ball. However, we know that as technology progresses, the limitations of copper PCBs are increasingly apparent, particularly regarding speed, bandwidth, and signal integrity. Innovations such as optical interconnects and photonic integrated circuits are setting the stage for the next generation of PCBs, delivering higher performance and efficiency. The future of PCB design will probably incorporate these new technologies to address the challenges of traditional copper-based designs.
Designers Notebook: Impact of Advanced Semiconductor Packaging on PCB Stackup
01/07/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookTo accommodate new generations of high I/O semiconductor packaging, printed circuit board fabrication technology has had to undergo significant changes in both the process methods and the criteria for base material selection and construction sequence (stackup). Many of the new high-function multi-core semiconductor package families require more terminals than their predecessors, requiring a significantly narrower terminal pitch. Interconnecting these very fine-pitch, high I/O semiconductors to the PCB is made possible by an intermediate element referred to as an interposer.
BOOK EXCERPT: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... High Performance Materials, Chapter 4
01/02/2025 | I-Connect007In Chapter 4, Michael Gay discusses the two main types of copper foil used for PCB boards today: electrodeposited (ED) foil and rolled annealed (RA) foil. He also explains the pros and cons of each, and provides an update of the latest innovations in copper foil technology.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Solder Mask and Legend
01/02/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we discussed the strip, etch, and strip process. At this point, we have a functioning board, but we still need to protect the PCB from environmental effects and document the circuit components. This brings us to the solder mask and legend phase of production.
