Signal Integrity & Metallization
Signal integrity and additive manufacturing, particularly metallization, are hot topics in PCB design and fabrication. PCB layouts are carefully engineered to achieve specific electrical and power performance targets.
Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

INEMI Interim Report: Interconnection Modeling and Simulation Results for Low-Temp Materials in First-Level Interconnect
June 9, 2025 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
One of the greatest challenges of integrating different types of silicon, memory, and other extended processing units (XPUs) in a single package is in attaching these various types of chips in a reliable way. Key modulators for reliability are the maximum temperature that the silicon chip experiences during assembly bonding processes, interaction with chip warpage, and solder joint reliability.
INEMI’s Low-Temperature Material Discovery and Characterization for First-Level Interconnect Project has conducted simulation studies of low-temperature solder materials, including SAC305, eutectic SnBi and SnBiCuNi, using solder package structures with solder sphere and Cu pillar interconnections.
The project team will share results from these studies, including bump collapse simulation, thermal mechanical simulation and electromigration simulation. We will also talk about future plans for the project.
