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.

Ventec to Launch New Bondply Dielectrics and Value-Added Services at IPC APEX EXPO 2024
March 26, 2024 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group is to reveal new products for advanced signal integrity and thermal performance and introduce services during IPC APEX EXPO 2024, April 9-11, in booth #4309.
Breaking cover at the show, Ventec’s new pro-bond and thermal-bond bond ply dielectrics are formulated for high-speed signal integrity with low losses and thermal management in ML PCB stack ups, needed for cutting-edge computing and networking applications such as high layer count multilayers, high-performance motherboards and server backplanes and cellular network power amplifiers.
The initial range includes Resin Coated Copper (RCC) and Resin Coated Film (RCF) bondply b-stage dielectric materials. RCC bondply is an unreinforced adhesive system coated onto ultra-thin copper foil (1.5-5.0μm supported on an 18μm carrier foil) for use in high performance and high reliability multilayer PCB stack-ups.
RCF bondply is an unreinforced adhesive system coated onto PET film for use in high performance and high reliability multilayer PCB stack-ups.
Ventec is launching four pro-bond formulas that deliver an outstanding combination of low dissipation factor (Df) with a dielectric constant (Dk) range to maximize the design window for critical PCB parameters.
In addition, Ventec’s new thermal-bond portfolio significantly raises the thermal conductivity possible with non-IMS substrates. thermal-bond 5.0F with thermal conductivity 7.0 W/m.K and thermal-bond 3.0F with thermal conductivity 3.6 W/m.K are ideal for high-power circuits. Key applications for thermal-bond include LED lighting boards, network-powered and battery-powered DC/DC converters, distributed energy harvesting systems, high-speed high-performance computing applications such as cloud AI accelerators, and high-power motor drives and controllers.
With the launch of Ventec Giga Solutions in 2023, Ventec’s service portfolio presents a value-added one-stop shop for PCB manufacturing, from innovating high-performance substrate materials to capital equipment supply, factory planning, setup, and process support. Having recently announced an agreement with Cardel Group, the business now also covers the USA and offers a refurbishment service for separator plates used in PCB lamination.
“We continue to strengthen and extend the Ventec value proposition, leveraging our expertise in all areas of PCB fabrication,” said Mark Goodwin, Ventec COO EMEA & Americas. “We are looking forward to welcoming visitors to our booth at APEX this April, to present the breadth of solutions we can now offer to ensure resilient and secure local PCB manufacturing.”
The Ventec booth is no. 4309 at IPC APEX Expo, Anaheim Convention Center, where visitors can see the latest innovations in specialty substrate materials, process consumables, and one-stop shop fabrication services.

The Knowledge Base: The Era of Advanced Packaging
12/23/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseThe semiconductor industry is at a pivotal juncture. As the traditional scaling predicted by Moore's Law encounters significant physical and economic barriers, transistor density can no longer double every two years without escalating costs and complications. As a result, the industry is shifting its focus from chip-level advancements to innovative packaging and substrate technologies. I Invited Dr. Nava Shpaisman, strategic collaboration manager at KLA, to provide some insight.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
