Interposers, Substrates, and Advanced Manufacturing
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I attend a lot of industry trade shows and conferences. Lately, during conversations with technologists, I’ve noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly constitutes an interposer. One question I hear every so often is, “Are all interposers substrates?” The short answer to that question is no. But some interposers are, in fact, full substrates.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/10/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007I-Connect007 has a new monthly digest newsletter, the Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest, and as I was scanning our advanced packaging newsfeeds this week, I came across a primer from tokenring.ai (republished through station WRAL, Raleigh, North Carolina), which I found quite useful. Whether you’re a designer, fabricator, or assembler, the package schemes being developed will change how you work, so be sure to keep your eye on the technological horizon and subscribe to the monthly Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest.
