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 Chemical Connection: Getting the Best from Your Cupric Chloride Etchant
12/04/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionOver the past several months, we have received a lot of questions from our customers about cupric chloride etching—mostly about how to improve etch quality, but also about process problems. Most of them were easily dealt with, but the questions arose because the people involved in running the etching process were not aware of the finer nuances involved in using cupric chloride as the primary etchant. (They don’t have courses on etching in most colleges and trade schools.) I thought this might be a good time to summarize some things I have learned in my 50 years of experience with cupric chloride etching and clear up some of the confusion.
Is It the Death of the Dashboard?
11/27/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineIn 2024, companies are leveraging AI agents to automate data-driven decisions, bypassing the need for specialized data science skills. In this interview with Tim Burke and Jennifer Davis of Arch Systems, they say these AI tools can handle straightforward tasks, significantly improving factory efficiency by addressing numerous small issues. This shift allows existing staff to use data effectively without extensive retraining. Both large and small language models are used to support real-time decisions on the production floor, integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive digital twin of the factory’s operations.
