HDPUG: 30 Years of Collaboration
January 1, 2024 | Madan Jagernauth, Marketing Directory HDPEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The High Density Packaging User Group International Inc. (HDP) and IPC have partnered successfully for many years. The groups signed an MoU in 2020 to strengthen this relationship, increase technical collaboration between the groups, and provide a mutual path toward emerging and disruptive high-density interconnect (HDI) technologies.
What is HDP?
HDP, founded in 1993, is a nonprofit trade organization that offers memberships to companies involved in the electronics manufacturing industry. HDP's mission is to drive innovations in the electronics industry, reducing cost and time to market through active collaborations that solve critical and emerging problems. HDP is focused on the characterization and reliability of electronic assemblies and sub-assemblies, focusing on new technologies.

Happy’s Tech Talk #42: Applying Density Equations to UHDI Design
08/19/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkWith the need for faster speeds, more parts on an assembly, and the trend to make things smaller for portability, the printed circuit design and layout process is both creative and challenging. The process involves “applying the density equation” while considering certain boundary conditions, such as electrical and thermal performance. Unfortunately, many designers don’t realize there is a mathematical process to laying out a printed circuit.

Advancing Electrolytic Copper Plating for AI-driven Package Substrates
08/05/2025 | Dirk Ruess and Mustafa Oezkoek, MKS’ AtotechThe rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has become a pivotal force driving growth in the server industry. Its challenging requirements for high-frequency and high-density computing are leading to an increasing demand for development of advanced manufacturing methods of package substrates with finer features, higher hole densities, and denser interconnects. These requirements are essential for modern multilayer board (MLB) designs, which play a critical role in AI hardware. However, these intricate designs introduce considerable manufacturing complexities.
