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.

Aismalibar to Attend productronica
November 7, 2023 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
As the only exhibition of this kind, productronica showcases the entire value chain in electronics manufacturing – from technologies and components to software and services. Over 45,000 professionals attended the conference in 2021 and it continues to grow each year.
After successful participation at productronica 2021, Aismalibar will attend the Munich event on November 14–17, 2023 and showcase its latest developments in IMS laminates, Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) and a range of automation for production of PCBs from the Technosystem brand.
Aismalibar will be in Booth 3.330 and will exhibit machinery from the Technosystem catalog, a brand of The Benmayor Group that develops technology and machinery for the production of PCBs. Aismalibar will also present its new range of loaders, unloaders and robots for the production of printed circuits. We will be presenting our brand-new MILLENIUM V4 Loader for Inner Layer Preparation and our MILLENIUM V4 AGV.
Additionally, Aismalibar will present Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs), which have been designed to improve dielectric isolation and fast thermal transmission in battery assemblies, taking into consideration cost reduction, lifetime performance, safety, and reliability.
Our Thermal Interface Materials are divided into two main areas, differentiated based on whether they need dielectric capacity. Dielectric requirement is determined by the electronic device, its operating voltage, and the applicable regulations regarding ground insulation. Additionally, Aismalibar has developed a series of applicable surfaces on the TIMs, differentiated by whether they need to be self-adhesive. Both surfaces serve, in turn, to reduce the air cavities that exist between the surfaces of the TIMs and the heatsinks or electronic components.
COPPERFILLER and BOND SHEET CURED offer a high-performance alternative solution to current thermal pastes or pads. The new COBRITHERM ALP is made from an aluminum base that is dielectrically insulated, designed to build structures, covers, partitions or radiators, among other solutions. It is completely insulated and guarantees excellent contact between the battery and dissipation elements.
Finally, Aismalibar will present Insulated Metal Substrates (IMS). IMS METAL CLAD Is a thick aluminum-based substrate, cladded in ED copper foil, designed for an effective thermal dissipation and high electrical insulation. Our proprietary formulated polymer-ceramic ensures high thermal conductivity, dielectric strength, and thermal endurance. AISMALIBAR’s Insulated Metal Substrates allow processing by standard PCBs procedures, integrating heat dissipation with no need for extra components and SMD assembly process.
COBRITHERM ULTRATHIN 5W/mK and 8W/mK - TG180ºC - 150ºC MOT is an insulated metal substrate (IMS) based on an aluminum cladding with an ED copper sheet on the opposite side, containing an innovative 75-micron ultra-thin polymer-ceramic dielectric layer of its own formulation, offering industry-leading thermal conductivity and high dielectric strength. It also offers strong MOT, High Tg and Low CTE values, which are the key elements for performance of the MPCB operating at high temperatures.
The Thermal Multilayer product range will be presented, as well as products for the development of multilayer PCBs that can be combined to customize solutions for complex electronic designs and applications. THIN LAM and BOND SHEET can be used in standard multilayer lamination processes to improve resistance to thermal shocks, conductivity and thermal dissipation.
The new THIN LAM and BOND SHEETS of 3.2W have been developed to reduce thermal resistance. A MOT of 150ºC, high Tg values of 180ºC and Low CTE below 1.8% (50 to 250ºC) considerably improves overall thermal efficiency. We are excited to exhibit our newest Cobritherm Pre Preg Glass Free product, with high thermal conductivity of 5W/mK and 8W/mK. More information will be made available at the show.

The Knowledge Base: The Era of Advanced Packaging
12/23/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseThe semiconductor industry is at a pivotal juncture. As the traditional scaling predicted by Moore's Law encounters significant physical and economic barriers, transistor density can no longer double every two years without escalating costs and complications. As a result, the industry is shifting its focus from chip-level advancements to innovative packaging and substrate technologies. I Invited Dr. Nava Shpaisman, strategic collaboration manager at KLA, to provide some insight.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
