Current IssueIt's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling 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...

MKS’ Atotech to Participate in CPCA Show
March 20, 2023 | AtotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute

MKS Instruments announced its participation in the upcoming CPCA Show 2023, the international electronic circuits exhibition in Shanghai, China held from March 22-24, 2023. MKS will be present with representatives from two of its strategic brands, Atotech and ESI, and present its latest products and manufacturing solution for printed circuit board and package substrate manufacturing.
Product experts from overseas will be joining the local team and be available to discuss the latest industry trends and challenges, as well as introduce the new combined product offering consisting of PCB production equipment (wet-to-wet process equipment, laser systems, and auxiliaries), chemistry, software, and service. The company will be exhibiting at booth 7T26 and this year’s product highlights include:
- V-Plate: The new gold standard for vertical conveyor plating equipment for next-generation HDI PCB and package substrates
- InPro SAP6: The new high-end electrolyte for vertical processing of next-generation package substrates
- New Uniplate: The industry-leading horizontal plating tool for next-generation HDI PCBs and package substrates manufacturing
- Printoganth MV TP2: Next-generation electroless copper for fine-line SAP applications
- BondFilm EX: New bonding enhancement solution for low signal loss high-frequency applications
- PallaBond: Direct pure EPAG for high-end circuitry and reliability application
- CapstoneTM: Flex PCB UV drilling tool for high-performance breakthrough productivity

EIPC 2025 Winter Conference, Day 2: A Roadmap to Material Selection
02/20/2025 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007The EIPC 2025 Winter Conference, Feb. 4-5, in Luxembourg City, featured keynotes and two days of conference proceedings. The keynote session and first-day conference proceedings are reported separately. Here is my review of the second day’s conference proceedings. Delegates dutifully assembled bright and early, well-rested and eager to participate in the second day’s proceedings of the EIPC Winter Conference in Luxembourg.
Designers Notebook: Addressing Future Challenges for Designers
02/06/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board is and will probably continue to be the base platform for most electronics. With the proliferation of new generations of high I/O, fine-pitch surface mount semiconductor package variations, circuit interconnect is an insignificant factor. Circuit board designers continually face challenges such as component quantity and complexity, limited surface area, and meeting the circuit board’s cost target. The printed circuit design engineer’s prominent position demands the development of efficiently manufacturable products that perform without compromise.
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.
