Current IssueRigid-flex: Designing in 3D
In this month’s issue, our expert contributors share their best tips, tricks and techniques for designing rigid-flex circuits. If you’re a rigid board designer considering moving into the 3D world of rigid-flex, this issue is just what the doctor ordered!
Simulation, Analysis, and AI
Getting today’s designs “right the first time” is critical, especially with costly advanced PCBs. Simulation and analysis software tools can help you in the fight to eliminate respins. They’re not magical, but they can predict the future of your design.
Advanced, Complex & Emerging Designs
This month, our contributors focus on designing PCBs with advanced, complex and emerging technologies. We investigate design strategies for boards that are on the cutting edge of technology, or crazily complex, or so new that designers are still writing the rules as they go.

Rigid-flex: Designing in 3D
Not long ago, rigid-flex was considered a niche market. Now, analysts predict that the rigid-flex market will top $5 billion by 2026, lead in part by the adoption of IoT and the need to connect a variety of smart devices. Rigid-flex circuits are everywhere: servers, cameras and pacemakers all use rigid-flex, just to name a few.
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors share their best tips, tricks and techniques for designing rigid-flex circuits. If you’re a rigid board designer considering moving into the 3D world of rigid-flex, this issue is just what the doctor ordered! And, as Kris Moyer says in his featured interview, An Overview of Rigid-flex Design, “Don’t fear rigid-flex.”

A Catalyst for Advanced Packaging and Substrates
09/26/2023 | Kirk Thompson, Isola GroupDespite being a leader in R&D investment in semiconductors and packaging with greater than $50 billion per year, the U.S. has seen its market share decrease to less than 3% in areas like advanced packaging and advanced substrates. The cause for this market share erosion was a laser focus in Asian countries to attract semiconductors and advanced packaging investment through ecosystem development and incentives. If the U.S. is serious about changing the momentum to onshore advanced packaging and advanced substrates, an ecosystem approach to innovation and manufacturing incentives must be employed. It is not enough to have the most innovative technology if the supply chain and manufacturing economics do not deliver competitive commercial opportunities.
