Current IssueVoices 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.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Ventec International Group Announce Launch of VT-47LT IPC4101 /126 Prepreg for HDI
March 12, 2025 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Ventec International Group announce launch of VT-47LT IPC4101 / 126 Prepreg. Are Microvia Failures Plaguing Your HDI Any Layer Designs? High-density interconnect (HDI) designs are pushing the envelope - higher layer count HDI relies on complex microvia designs: skip vias, staggered microvias, and stacked microvias in sequential laminations. But there’s a critical flaw: microvias fail far more often than plated through-holes in advanced designs, putting reliability on the line.
The root cause? Thermal mismatch. Differences in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the microvia fill material and surrounding dielectric create stress during thermal excursions, weakening the microvia barrel and cap. It gets worse, copper and epoxy expand and contract at different rates under thermal cycling, with epoxy’s higher CTE driving tensile stress on the copper cap plating. Repeated thermal cycling intensifies this fatigue initiating micro-cracks that spread into the microvia barrel or epoxy core, threatening the integrity of the entire interconnect.
Introducing VT-47LT: Next-Generation Low CTE prepreg for HDI Innovation
Ventec’s VT-47LT, a cutting-edge IPC 4101/126 prepreg that steps up to meet the demands of modern HDI technology, avoiding the need for time consuming and expensive requalification of alternative IPC4101 grades. With best-in-class Z-axis CTE, it delivers unrivalled reliability right where you need it. Its advanced low-CTE epoxy slashes thermal expansion mismatches, easing stress on microvia structures and tackling the persistent challenge of failures head-on.
Engineered with optimized properties, best-in-class Z-axis CTE and superior thermal resilience, VT-47LT cuts stress on microvias, reducing crack risks and boosting durability. It’s a game-changer delivering robust, long lasting HDI PCBs
Elevate your HDI projects with VT-47LT — where reliability meets innovation!
