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.

Liquid AI Raises $250M to Scale Capable and Efficient General-purpose AI
December 16, 2024 | Liquid AIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Liquid AI announces a Series A round of financing with AMD Ventures as strategic lead.
This funding will help Liquid AI accelerate the development, scaling, and deployment of Liquid Foundation Models, their lightweight, general-purpose AI models that unlock private, efficient, and reliable enterprise-grade AI for all.
At Liquid, their mission is to build the most capable and efficient AI system at every scale. CEO, Ramin Hasani says, “We are proud that our new industry-leading partners trust our mission; together, we plan to unlock sovereign AI experiences for businesses and users."
Since inception, Liquid AI have worked to prove that their science and technology scales: They released text-based models, announced multimodal LFMs, and started testing out AI products in the market with key partners to demonstrate their real-world impact. In the next phase, the company will use the Series A funding to scale their compute infrastructure, expedite their product readiness on the edge and on-premise, e.g. LFM inference and fine-tuning stacks, and bring advanced AI offerings to a broader audience through our valued partnerships.
Liquid AI will integrate AI products into mission-critical workflows in many sectors such as consumer electronics, telecommunication, financial services, e-commerce, and biotechnology. The funding will also accelerate Liquid AI’s science and technology development, scaling the advantages of LFMs across more model sizes and data modalities. As part of their commitment to democratizing access to AI, they invite interested parties to consider joining the dynamic team at Liquid AI.
“Liquid AI’s unique approach to developing efficient AI models will push the boundaries of AI, making it far more accessible,” said Mathew Hein, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Corporate Development at AMD. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Liquid AI to train and deploy their AI models on AMD Instinct GPUs and support their growth through this latest funding round.”

Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
