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.

AT&S Provides Sophisticated IC Substrates for High-performance AMD Data Center Processors and Accelerators
November 8, 2023 | AT&SEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
AT&S quickly established itself as a reliable substrate supplier for AMD and is currently preparing a significant expansion of capacity for AMD. “AMD’s quality requirements are very high, which makes us very proud to have achieved the ramp-up so fast. Currently, we are preparing facilities at our new plant in Kulim, Malaysia, to expand our AMD capacity,” says AT&S CEO Andreas Gerstenmayer. The demand for CPUs and GPUs for datacenters is expected to continue growing healthily in the next couple of years, which will help to strengthen the partnership between AMD and AT&S: “Fueled by new technologies like AI, VR and AR, demand for data storage, transmission and analysis is rising globally,” says Gerstenmayer.
To meet the accelerating demand for powerful and sustainable computing, AMD is pushing the boundaries of innovation in chip design as well as packaging to deliver faster and more energy efficient chips. “AT&S can provide a lot of know-how in this field. We are already working on new technologies for substrates that will allow our customers to integrate a high number of chips into very fast and efficient packaged systems that will help to analyze and transmit data in the cloud fast and reliably,” says AT&S Executive Vice President of Business Unit Micro Electronics, Ingolf Schröder.
“The last few years have demonstrated the critical role that semiconductors play in enabling our world and have shown us the importance of having a strong and geographically diverse supply chain,” says Keivan Keshvari, AMD Senior Vice President of Global Operations. “At AMD, we collaborate closely with all of our suppliers to enhance business continuity plans. We are pleased to have found an innovative and reliable additional source for high-end substrates in AT&S and look forward to leveraging the new site to deliver high-performance and adaptive computing products that drive continued growth in the data center and AI markets.”
Future Market “Advanced Packaging”
AT&S is one of the leaders for embedding microchips and components that regulate the associated power and information flows into monolithic systems that make sure that the pathways stay as short as possible, so information can travel at maximum speed without any significant losses. The big substrates that are necessary to build such integrated systems are optimized for reliability and efficiency by using AT&S’s sophisticated simulation technology. “We are among the technology leaders in the substrate market and have an additional advantage because we can offer manufacturing capacity not only in China but also in Malaysia and Austria,” says AT&S CEO Gerstenmayer.

It’s Only Common Sense: You’ve Got to Hustle
12/16/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWe can’t control many things: the economy, what our competitors are doing, and even sometimes what our customers think. But one thing that’s fully within our control is how hard we work. As a professional salesperson, if you’re not willing to put in the hustle and outwork everyone else in the room, you’ll be left behind. Let’s get something straight immediately: There are no shortcuts in sales. There’s no magic formula that will allow you to succeed without putting in the effort. The idea that working smarter can replace hard work is a myth. It’s not one or the other. It’s both. Working harder and smarter is the only way to win.

From Construction Work to PCB Design in Under a Year
11/27/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAt the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show in October, I had the opportunity to talk with some new PCB designers, including Jon Smith of Frontgrade Aethercomm. During the Anaheim show, John Watson, a PCB design instructor at Palomar College, led a panel of his past and present students, including Jon, who shared his story of switching from a construction career to PCB design in a matter of months, courtesy of Watson’s Palomar College design curriculum.
