Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

Fine-Line Circuits Ltd - India to Exhibit at International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2023
May 15, 2023 | Fine-Line Circuits Ltd - IndiaEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Abhay Doshi, Managing Director of Fine-Line Circuits Ltd, has announced that his company will be exhibiting at this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS) to be held June 11-17 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
It is Fine-Line’s mission to provide PCBs and PCBAs that deliver to the customer the RF performance they expect. They achieve this by working with every customer from the start through material selection, design optimization and final simulation, material stocking, PCB fabrication, and PCBA assembly to ensure expected precise RF performance.
When making this announcement Mr. Doshi said, “This is an excellent symposium and exhibition for us as we continue to increase our share of PCB supplies to the RF market. For a number of years now have been focused on RF and Microwave Systems requirements and the IMS 2023 symposium gives us the opportunity to talk to other like-minded individuals about this growing segment of the Electronics market. We look forward to meeting and talking with potential partners and customers in San Diego in June.”
Fine-Line Circuits will exhibiting in Booth 1713 sharing their expertise on providing the ideal surface finish for RF Microwave PCBs – Electrolytic Thick Gold Direct on Copper which gives a great skin and no Nickel related signal losses giving the designer the precise RF performance that the system is designed for.
Fine-Line has built a variety of PCB boards (hybrids, cavities, copper back, oversized PCBs) for a variety of Space and Defense Applications and other various systems (satcoms, radar, antenna, dividers, amplifiers, etc).

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
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.
