How HDI/UHDI Manufacturing Converge With Interposers and Substrates
11/17/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007For decades, the PCB and the semiconductor package lived in separate universes. PCBs belonged to the world of board shops, panels, and assembly lines; packages belonged to semiconductor fabs and OSATs. Substrates and interposers, meanwhile, were niche system-level package “components” in the middle, largely invisible to the outside world. That separation is dissolving as definitions broaden. The rise of high-density interconnect (HDI) and its next-generation cousin, ultra HDI (UHDI), is pushing PCB manufacturing into territory once reserved for semiconductor packaging.
