Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

The U.S. Chips Act Propels Collaboration Between Semiconductor Manufacturers and Equipment Suppliers
Introduction: Embracing Collaboration in Semiconductor Manufacturing
In today's rapidly evolving world, the semiconductor industry stands as a driving force across economies and industries, propelling progress through technological advancements. The U.S. CHIPS Act emerges as a game-changing legislation aimed at redefining America's semiconductor manufacturing prowess. The Act sets forth a clear mission: bolster domestic chip production, reinforce national security, and stimulate economic growth.
As the echoes of the U.S. CHIPS Act ripple through the industry, a pivotal juncture arises for both semiconductor manufacturers and equipment suppliers. This legislation has captivated the attention of industry leaders, government bodies, and astute investors. Industry giants like Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries have committed substantial investments to U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging. These visionary leaders are primed to reshape the landscape of chip production on American soil.
Seizing Opportunities: The Synergy of Collaboration
With the U.S. CHIPS Act heralding a new era, semiconductor manufacturers find themselves at a crossroads. This juncture holds both opportunities and the potential for transformation, where stronger and closer collaboration between manufacturers and equipment suppliers emerges as a promising path forward. Along with the investment and commitment of the global semiconductor behemoths, suppliers like KIC, global leaders in soldering and curing automated thermal process metrology solutions, are setting a visionary path lit by the bright lights of innovation.
