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.

Trackwise Announces Stevenage Circuits' Sale Process
May 17, 2023 | Trackwise Designs PLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Trackwise Designs plc, a leading manufacturer of specialist products using printed circuit technology, announces the launch of a sale process for the Stevenage Circuits business, in order to allow the Company to focus its financial and management resources more fully on its core IHT business.
On 30 March 2023 the Company announced that, following an impairment review of Stevenage Circuits Limited ("SCL"), there would be an impairment charge related to SCL as laid out in that announcement.
Following a further internal review, the Board has resolved to commence a sale process for SCL (the "SCL Sale Process"). The SCL Sale Process may be by way of the sale of SCL (a 100% owned Group subsidiary), or by way of a business and assets sale or similar. The Board will assess the merits of expressions of interest received pursuant to the SCL Sale Process but wishes to be clear that there can be no certainty that a sale will go ahead, nor as to the terms of any such sale. Should a sale go ahead, the timing of the sale and receipt of any proceeds remains uncertain. Further details are provided below.
SCL operates from the Group's Stevenage site and forms the majority of the Group's Advanced PCB (APCB) business. Disposal of SCL would not impact the IHT business and would remove the risk of SCL diverting resources away from the IHT business.

Beyond Design: AI-driven Inverse Stackup Optimization
12/26/2024 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignArtificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we conceptualize and design everything from satellites to PCBs. Traditionally, stackup planning is a manual process that can be multifaceted and relies heavily on the designer's expertise. Despite having best practices and various field solvers to optimize parameters, stackup planning remains challenging for complex designs with advanced packaging, several layers, multiple power pours, and controlled impedance requirements.
Statistically Testing Inner Layer Yield Improvement Projects
12/18/2024 | Dr. Patrick Valentine, UyemuraCan we trust our measurement system to give us reliable data? Is it accurate, repeatable, and reproducible? Measurement is the foundation of quality. We measure for two primary reasons: to make decisions on product quality and to provide data that will inform continuous improvement projects. We can engage in continuous improvement projects if we are confident in our measurement systems.
