Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In 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 Ultimate Dielectric Reference Is Here: iCD Launches Industry-Leading Materials Library
July 9, 2025 | ICDEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd (iCD), led by Managing Director Barry Olney, has just unveiled what is arguably the most comprehensive dielectric materials library ever compiled—the new standalone iCD Dielectric Materials Library. With over 1,400 types of rigid and flex materials from 84 leading manufacturers, the library covers everything from core and prepreg to solder mask and coverlay materials, and supports frequencies up to 100GHz.
Designed for all EDA tool users, PCB fabricators, and those using stackup field solvers, this independent, standalone resource is a game-changer for anyone serious about precision and performance in high-speed, high-frequency PCB design.
“No more trawling through spec sheets or outdated datasets chasing dielectric data,” says Olney. “We’ve consolidated decades of material data into a single, fast, accurate, searchable tool. It encompasses practically every material ever created. Whether you're focused on signal integrity, power integrity, EMI performance or just basic analog, RF or mmWave designs this library has you covered.”
