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.

How to Discover and Equip the Next Generation of Talent
02/18/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAThe demand for skilled PCB designers is at an all-time high, with one-third of engineering jobs in the United States going unfilled. Addressing this talent gap involves solving two interconnected challenges: discovering where to find the next generation of PCB designers and equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving field.
Saab Launches Coast Control Radar

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
02/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineShow season is upon us. Recently, Marcy LaRont and I attended DesignCon’s 30th anniversary show, and the expo floor was packed for almost the entire time. Show managers went all out, hosting a welcome party that included a rocking DJ. Much of the event revolved around AI and how to implement it. Is your company utilizing AI now? I’m featuring an abundance of articles from the past week, covering everything from DesignCon presentations to the benefits of volunteering for an IPC committee. If you’ve ever thought about joining a relevant committee, IPC is always looking for “new blood.”
PCB Designers of the Future—and Their Software Tools
02/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineThe PCB designers of tomorrow have their work cut out for them. They’ll be dealing with the continuing drive for “faster, smaller, cheaper,” while electronics become more complex. But EDA companies have improved their software tools’ capabilities over the past few years, incorporating functionalities such as AI and increasing productivity. I asked David Wiens, product marketing manager at Siemens, to share his thoughts on the continuing evolution of PCB design and PCB designers, and how EDA software companies can help designers meet the technological requirements of tomorrow.
