Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

TopLine’s Martin Hart to Present at Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW)
January 16, 2025 | TopLine CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
TopLine Corporation’s Founder and CEO Martin Hart has been invited to deliver a presentation on the topic of how “Braided Solder Columns reduce mechanical stress in large heterogeneous 2.5D advanced packages for space and commercial applications” at The Aerospace Corporation’s Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW) in Los Angeles (El Segundo), California on February 12, 2025.
MRQW provides a forum for discussing issues in all areas of microelectronics reliability and qualification for high-reliability and commercial applications. TopLine recently announced the availability of Braided Solder Columns as drop-in replacements for BGA balls for Quantum Computers and next generation applications including Very Large 2.5D Packages. The Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW) won the topic, which will be addressed by Hart, including the application of braided solder columns to aerospace applications and extreme environments.

Trouble in Your Tank: Yield Improvement and Reliability
05/22/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere’s a simple rule of business in manufacturing: “It is all about yields.” Higher yields for your products allow for increased profits and satisfied customers. When there are lower yields, overall cost to manufacture increases, and the additional time and strain on the factory floor affect the entire operation. Lower yields are often the result of “process drift,” when critical process parameters and specialized plating additives fall outside their acceptable ranges.
