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.

The SMTA is excited to announce the technical program for the 2025 Wafer-Level Packaging Symposium. The symposium will be held February 18-20, 2025 at The Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in San Francisco, California.
The technical program features a special keynote presentation. On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, Eric Breckenfeld, Nvidia, and Erik Hadland, Semiconductor Industry Association, will co-present, “The CHIPS and Science Act: Past, Present and Future of U.S. Microelectronics R&D.”
Technical sessions include over 20 expert speakers who delve into wafer-level packaging advances, assembly/integration process, novel interconnect & packaging process and materials, substrate/integration platform, test & metrology, fan-out wafer-level packaging, and more. The program features presentations from leading companies including adeia, Nvidia, NHanced Semiconductors, Semiconductor Industry Association, and universities such as Hanyang University, Yokohama National University, and more.
The symposium kicks off with two professional development courses on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The first course, “Materials for Semiconductor Packaging,” will be instructed by Terry Alford, Arizona State University. Gamal Refai Ahmed, Ph.D., AMD, will instruct the second course, “Current & Future Challenges and Solutions in AI & HPC System & Thermal Management.” Access to these courses is included in standard registration.
