Current IssueDesigning Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?

Ucamco's LeVina: Direct Imaging for Next-gen Packaging Substrates
November 14, 2023 | UcamcoEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ucamco is proud to introduce LeVina to the European market. LeVina is the perfect Direct Imaging solution for next-gen packaging substrates.
Just like Ledia direct imagers, LeVina is Japanese technology made by SCREEN.
World-leading imaging of 2 µm
LeVina combines superior imaging heads equipped with SCREEN’s proprietary GLVTM optical engine and laser control technologies that utilize an optical system featuring more of SCREEN’s unique expertise. This new system is specifically designed for mass production and enables direct imaging of substrates at a market-leading resolution of 2/2 μm L/S. It will continue to deliver high-definition patterning of advanced packages even as they become increasingly miniaturized.
Throughput of 100 substrates per hour with L/S = 5/5 µm
LeVina is fitted with an extremely reliable multi-head system and stage capable of moving at up to 480 millimeters per second. Alignment marks are read during scanning, allowing outstanding throughput regardless of the number of marks in the scanning direction (can also be automated). These features enable high resolution processing up to 100 substrates (510 x 515 mm) per hour at L/S = 5/5 μm.
Low running costs
Thanks to the laser diodes used in its light source, LeVina cuts operating costs by around 70%.
Improved cleanness
With LeVina, sources of particle generation have been blocked and it has been equipped with airflow control technologies that have a proven record in cleaning equipment for the semiconductor market. These advances have reduced contamination inside the system, helping to significantly improve yields.
Learn more at Productronica
Ucamco will feature a testing panel of LeVina at Productronica in Munich next week, November 14-17. Visit us in hall B3, booth 425 to learn more about this ground-breaking technology.

Driving Sustainability in PCB Design
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Filbert (Fil) Arzola is an electrical engineer at Raytheon. He’s smart, entertaining, and passionate about PCB design. As it turns out, he’s also passionate about “Mother Earth,” as he calls her. Born and raised in Southern California, he freely admits that he turns the water off when he brushes his teeth and yells at his brother for throwing batteries in the garbage. But when looking at the issue of sustainability and PCB design, he urges his audiences to ponder what sustainability looks like. Can PCB designers, he asks, make any impact on sustainability at all?
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO: Silicon Geometry's Signal Integrity Impact on PCBs
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007At IPC APEX EXPO 2025, Kris Moyer addressed the importance of understanding the impact of silicon geometry reduction on signal integrity and PCB performance. Kris says signal integrity considerations are necessary for so many designs today, regardless of clock frequency. He discusses valuable insights from attendees regarding embedded resistor technology and the effects of radiation on smaller silicon features in aerospace applications.
Recognizing the IPC Committee Volunteer Awards in 2025
04/24/2025 | Patty Goldman, I-Connect007In 2023, IPC created two new awards to honor standards development committee volunteers: The Hillman-Lambert Award for Volunteer of the Year and the Kessler-Goldman Award for Committee Leader of the Year. The awards were named after Hall of Fame members whose service to standards development is well-known and who have demonstrated the skills and principles that the awardees should also have.
