Current IssueEngineering 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.

Ansys Helps Accelerate Development of TMYTEK's Next-Gen mmWave Technology for 5G, Satellite Communications
July 17, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Leading mmWave technology developer TMY Technology, Inc. (TMYTEK) uses Ansys simulation software to improve the performance, efficiency, and quality of its antenna-in-package (AiP) designs through rapid design verification. TMYTEK relies on numerous Ansys solvers to improve on its next-generation mmWave technologies for 5G and satellite communications quickly — significantly reducing associated development costs.
AiP technologies integrate complex radio frequency components with their related circuitry into a single chip design — an important development in the miniaturization of the radio systems required for consumer electronics and various mmWave applications supporting 5G networks. However, application complexities and ever-increasing market demands for smaller, more compact electronics require engineers to manage and validate their AiP designs more efficiently to reduce cost and time to market.
TMYTEK relies on Ansys solutions to develop its next-generation mmWave technologies, including its 5G open radio access network (O-RAN), small cell antenna, and satellite communication user terminal electronic steering antenna designs. Ansys helps TMYTEK deliver precise results in rapid AiP performance verification, from fast, predictively accurate thermal results, to parasitic parameter calculations, to process automation.
"Using Ansys, we can offer comprehensive design services to our customers, accelerate R&D and speed time to market," said Su-Wei Chang, founder and president at TMYTEK. "Ansys solutions enable us to comprehensively simulate and measure AiP performance faster — spanning antenna and radio-frequency module parasitic parameters, thermal activity, signal and power integrity, and customized system integration design performance. This results in greater efficiency up and down the development chain, freeing time up for future projects."
"As the demand for novel mmWave solutions continues to grow, AiP design complexity and time-to-market requirements present major challenges for our customers," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of the electronics, semiconductor and optics business unit at Ansys. "Ansys simulation solutions drive the rapid innovation behind these novel mmWave technologies, such as TMYTEK's, shaping the future of 5G antenna design."

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
