The Effects of Copper on a Transmission Line
12/23/2024 | Todd Kolmodin, Gardien ServicesAs technology advances, our substrates become increasingly smaller, and chip technology has progressed to where HDI and UHDI are household terms. Ten years ago, this new design architecture would strike fear in the hearts of any plating engineer. Unfortunately, North American and European manufacturing has lagged due to excessive offshoring of commercial and some high-reliability product lines. Fortunately, most of the military and aerospace product has remained controlled. But in doing so, the designs utilized by the mil/aero and medical sectors’ reliability lines were corralled into the manufacturing capabilities of the North American and European providers.
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Plating Process Overview
12/12/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsIn this installment of Fresh PCB Concepts, Mike Marshall takes the helm stating: PCBs have been the platform for the interconnection of electronic components for decades. Because of process costs and other constraints, such as mechanical properties or size limitations of the alternatives, PCBs will remain the standard low-cost interconnection technology. Rapidly increasing performance and functionality requirements of wireless and high-speed devices have challenged the development and implementation of new manufacturing solutions.
Has the Time Finally Come for Tin-nickel Plating?
12/09/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn the 1980s, Electrochemicals, Inc. (now Electrochemical Products) made a significant shift from furniture and industrial goods to electronics and manufacturing. During this journey, a tin-nickel plating alloy was developed. In 1984, Mike Carano, a young engineer, published a paper on tin-nickel plating alloy, but after some initial attention, the plating solution fell into obscurity. Today, PCB fabrication looks largely the same, yet changes are afoot, chiefly due to the demands for very fine feature capability on printed circuit boards, as well as environmental sustainability. So, in this fascinating conversation with Mike Carano and Happy Holden, we take another look at tin-nickel and its advantages in both performance and sustainability.
Exploring Advanced PCB Final Finishing: DIG, RAIG Technologies
10/24/2024 | Rich DePoto, UyemuraIn this interview, Rich DePoto of Uyemura provides a deep overview and explanation of Reduction-assisted Immersion Gold (RAIG) and direct immersion gold (DIG) technology, and their applications and benefits when compared to traditional final finishes. He delves into the intricacies of electroless nickel corrosion and “black pad,” exploring its causes, consequences, and the measures that can be taken to mitigate this problem. This comprehensive overview will provide insight toward sound decision-making for those operating in environments where perfect process control is a challenge.
