New iNEMI Project on High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction
December 14, 2022 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute

High density interconnect sockets are becoming larger, which creates challenges for socket warpage simulation and can impact SMT assembly yield and reliability. Expedited computation that maintains the required level of accuracy is needed to shorten socket design cycles.
Phase 1 of iNEMI’s High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction and Characterization project established an analysis and validation framework for socket development, conducted simulation experiments, and initially investigated the impact of socket design, fiber filled material properties and molding process conditions on socket warpage.
Phase 2 will focus on improving socket warpage simulation accuracy and speed, further investigating the impact of molding and design on socket warpage, and will ultimately establish guidelines for dynamic socket warpage measurement and prediction. If you are involved in socket design and development, board assembly and/or reliability, this project will be of interest to you. Please join us to learn more on January 5 or 6. The deadline to sign up for the project is February 17, 2023.

New Issue of Design007 Magazine: Are Your Data Packages Less Than Ideal?
05/09/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWhy is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal data package for your design.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.

05/08/2025 | Cadence Design SystemsAt its annual flagship user event, CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2025, Cadence announced a major expansion of its Cadence® Millennium™ Enterprise Platform with the introduction of the new Millennium M2000 Supercomputer featuring NVIDIA Blackwell systems, which delivers AI-accelerated simulation at unprecedented speed and scale across engineering and drug design workloads.
The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
