Current IssueInner 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.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Call-for-Participation Webinar Board-Level Optical Interconnect Performance in Immersion-Cooled Environments
April 24, 2023 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join us April 25 to learn about iNEMI’s new Board-Level Optical Interconnect Performance in Immersion-Cooled Environments project. Immersion cooling is gaining traction as a means of disruptive thermal management in high-performance computing and data centers; however, there is insufficient understanding of how optical interconnect components will perform in immersion-cooled environments. This issue affects OEMs and companies involved with photonics integration, mid-board optics and co-packaged optics.
The objectives of this new project are to:
Investigate and evaluate different on-board optical components and interconnect solutions in different immersion-cooled environments including single phase and dual phase.
Understand how design factors of interconnect components affect performance in an immersion environment.
Registration
These sessions are open to industry; advance registration is required, visit iNEMI's website.

Ensuring Compliance with the U.S. CHIPS Act: Identifying the Source of Electronic Components
01/13/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordThe U.S. CHIPS Act aims to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing and enhance supply chain security. As part of this initiative, manufacturers must ensure compliance with specific regulations regarding the sourcing of electronic components. This white paper provides an overview of the compliance requirements, relevant laws and standards, and introduces innovative technological solutions to verify the provenance of electronic components.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: The Surprising World of Offshore B2B Industrial Values
01/08/2025 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightWhen people want to buy industry products, they often look at a list of products: PCBs, PCBAs, injection molding, batteries, and transformers. However, if you bypass brick-and-mortar facilities, you can usually find better-value products if you search the globe. This is especially true with B2B products. With the right strategy and a keen eye for quality, companies can uncover opportunities to source essential industrial products from offshore suppliers at competitive prices. Here’s a list of some of those products and where to source them.
