Elementary, Mr. Watson: A Nightmare on PCB Street

10/22/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
PCB designers don't need Halloween to know what true terror feels like. This profession has enough built-in “horror” to keep us awake all year long. That probably explains why so many senior PCB designers and engineers eventually fall into one of two categories: gray hair or no hair at all. So, in the spirit of Halloween, let’s imagine a typical street lined with typical houses in an ordinary neighborhood in a quiet town. This is PCB Street. At the very end sits one house that looks like all the others. But it isn't.

Trouble in Your Tank: Pre-electroless Causes of Voids

09/02/2026 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your Tank
To support advanced 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration, product and motherboard designs are now using higher layer counts. As layer counts increase, plated through-holes (PTHs) become deeper and higher in aspect ratio, making it more difficult to achieve a continuous, void-free copper deposit. Drilling these thicker panels and higher aspect ratio vias adds another layer of complexity. Since there are many potential causes of PTH voiding, I’ll focus on pre-electroless copper causes, including drilling.

RTX's Raytheon Completes Installation of First SPY-6(V)4 Array at Wallops Island Test Site

Raytheon, an RTX business, has delivered and installed the first SPY-6(V)4 radar array at Surface Combat Systems Center at Wallops Island in Virginia, marking a major milestone for the U.S. Navy's Flight IIA Destroyer modernization effort and the SPY-6 backfit program.

The PCB Designer's Blind Spot: No Feedback, No Progress

06/18/2026 | Stephan Schmidt, Pentalogix
In PCB design, time and effort are everything. You've spent weeks perfecting your schematic, routing traces, and ensuring signal integrity. Finally, you generate those Gerber files and send them off to your preferred PCB fabricator. It's a moment of relief: The design is out of your hands, and production can begin. But what happens next? For many PCB designers, the answer is surprisingly unclear. Fabricators often make manufacturability adjustments without providing detailed feedback, leaving designers unaware of recurring issues.

More Than a Field Trip: Young Students Step into the World of Electronics and Semiconductors

05/13/2026 | Michigan Tech Electronics Hub
The energy is electric at Michigan Technological University as 164 fourth graders from Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula trade their traditional desks for a day of high-tech exploration. The students are here to pilot Stories & Semiconductors, a new educational series. By following the adventures of characters who solve problems through electronics, young students don’t just read about technology; they build it themselves.
