Trouble in Your Tank: The Role of Organic Solderability Preservatives in Advanced Packaging

06/08/2026 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your Tank
Technology trends shaping the electronics industry supply chain—AI, IoT, ADAS, and high-performance computing (HPC)—are driving finer circuit features and higher layer counts. Advanced packaging drives the selection of surface finishes depending on the application. Typical designs require excellent solder joint reliability and wire bondability. It is not uncommon for designers to specify the organic solderability preservatives (OSP) on the BGA side of the substrate and precious-metal-plated finishes on the top side, which facilitate wire bonding.

Managing DDR4, DDR5, and HBM Supply Challenges

05/26/2026 | Rob Ronan, Retronix Ltd.
The global electronics industry is no stranger to supply chain disruption, yet memory devices, particularly DRAM and NAND flash, sit at the center of a uniquely persistent challenge. The situation is particularly complex because constraints are not isolated; they are occurring simultaneously across both legacy and next-generation memory technologies. From DDR4 shortages driven by supplier exits to DDR5 demand being pulled by AI infrastructure, the market is facing a perfect storm of reduced supply, shifting demand, and aggressive pricing increases. For OEMs, EMS providers, and high-reliability sectors, this is a serious operational challenge.
