January 6, 2025 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Anaya Vardya, president and CEO of American Standard Circuits, announced that his company’s Director of Quality/Advanced Technology, John Johnson, will be speaking at this year’s Ultra HDI Symposium, Jan. 23, in Peoria, Arizona.
Johnson’s talk, "It Depends: Ultra HDI Fabrication Methods and Trade-Off's," will cover the fabrication methods for ultra HDI printed circuit boards and design considerations for various options. American Standard Circuits is one of the industry’s leaders when it comes to the engineering and fabrication of ultra HDI PCBs and Johnson is an expert on the topic.
As a long-time industry innovator, Johnson has a great deal of experience in the engineering, quality management and fabrication of PCBs. He is currently leading ASC's charge into the technological future of printed circuit boards
Mr. Johnson will also participate in the panel discussion, "Bridging the Gap: Accelerating Ultra HDI Adoption through Collaboration," alongside other industry leaders including:
- Chrys Shea, Shea Engineering
- Gayle Towell, AIM Solder
- Gerry Partida, Summit Interconnect
- Paul Cooke, AGC Multi Material America
- Stephen Chavez, Siemens
The event will also spotlight:
- Lab-to-Fab Updates: Key insights and forward-looking action items stemming from SMTAi 2024 Ultra HDI Learning Pavilion discussions.
- Miniaturization in Assembly: Solutions to the growing challenges shrinking feature sizes.
- PCB Fabrication Breakthroughs: New materials, processes, and equipment transforming Ultra HDI.
- DFM & Signal Integrity: Strategies for optimizing design with ultra-thin PCB materials and ensuring signal integrity, with a focus on DFM’s role for both fabrication and assembly.
- Future Technologies: A look at emerging innovations LCP with 10-micron embedded traces and sub-5-micron features on next-generation materials.
Industry leaders will come together to exchange ideas and drive the future of Ultra HDI. It’s a do not miss opportunity to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field.
