Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

StratEdge Brings Gold Medal Performance with its Molded Ceramic and Post-fired Ceramic Packages, and High-reliability Assembly Services
August 14, 2024 | StratEdgeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
StratEdge Corporation is redefining the landscape of semiconductor packaging with its cutting-edge molded and post-fired ceramic packages, supported by industry-leading high-reliability assembly services. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern applications, StratEdge's innovative solutions are tailored for markets including telecom, wireless, satellite, defense, and beyond, ensuring unmatched performance in the most challenging environments.
StratEdge's molded ceramic packages offer unparalleled reliability, designed to handle high-frequency chips up to 18 GHz, with over 200 standard outlines available, providing a vast array of packaging options. Complementing these, StratEdge's post-fired ceramic packages excel in thermal management for compound semiconductors like GaN, GaAs, and SiC, operating from DC to 63+ GHz. The packages provide ultra-low loss performance over a wide range of frequencies, depending on the style and mounting configuration. Many open-tooled designs are available with 50 ohm impedance high-frequency transitions, which provide convenience and ease for packaging high-performance semiconductors.
StratEdge's ISO 9001:2015 certified facility features a Class 1000 cleanroom with Class 100 work areas, for performing sensitive microelectronic assembly. It’s equipped with state-of-the-art assembly equipment, including a device bonder with a eutectic gold-tin (AuSn) attachment station that achieves bond line thicknesses of 6µm. This refined eutectic die attach technology maximizes power output for GaN devices, resulting in lower junction temperatures and increased device reliability.
"We manufacture our high-frequency packages with precision, using post-fired ceramics with laser-cut features to control tight tolerances, thermally-enhanced metal bases that dissipate heat, and electrical transition designs that provide exceptionally low electrical losses," explained Casey Krawiec, VP of Global Sales at StratEdge. Krawiec continued, "Working with compound semiconductors, such as GaN, requires a package that can best dissipate the heat from the device while ensuring optimal performance. Although the package plays the most critical part, the way the chip is attached can also make a significant difference in the device's performance."

The Shaughnessy Report: A Stack of Advanced Packaging Info
12/10/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s only fitting that this issue on advanced packaging and stackup features a “stackup” of “packages” on the cover. There’s certainly a lot to “unpack” in this issue. As advanced packaging moves further into the mainstream of PCB design, more PCB designers and design engineers are realizing this isn’t a plug-and-play technology. As we see in this issue, advanced packaging can have an impact on the entire design—the stackup in particular.
