Innovative Flash Copper Plating Technology

05/21/2026 | Andreas Schatz and Mustafa Özkök, MKS’ Atotech
The continuous push toward higher functionality, miniaturization, and performance in modern electronic devices—such as smartphones, wearables, and advanced computing platforms—has intensified the demand for high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards. Central to HDI performance is the reliable formation of blind microvias (BMVs), which serve as critical interlayer connections in modified semi-additive processes (mSAP).

Signal Integrity Meets Additive Innovation in the Latest Issue of I-Connect007 Magazine

05/18/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
Signal integrity and metallization are deeply intertwined, and this month’s I-Connect007 Magazine explores that convergence in detail. As Managing Editor Marcy LaRont explains, achieving electrical performance targets doesn’t stop at design; it depends heavily on how boards are fabricated, particularly through precise metallization processes.

Marcy’s Musings: Additive Processes, Signal Consequences

05/19/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's Musings
Signal integrity and additive manufacturing, particularly in metallization, are defining themes in modern PCB design and fabrication. PCB layouts are meticulously engineered systems designed to meet strict electrical and power performance targets. However, achieving those targets does not end at the design stage. Once a design enters fabrication, metallization processes—the precise plating of conductive traces—play a critical role in ensuring that signal speed, reliability, and integrity are achieved in the final physical board.

Rethinking Reinforcement Materials for Advanced Packaging

05/14/2026 | Ivana Ivanovic, Flexiramics B.V.
Materials that once quietly supported the industry are now becoming limiting factors. The electronics industry is experiencing unprecedented pressure as RF systems push into mmWave frequencies, high-speed digital architectures advance into their next performance generation, and power densities climb across automotive, telecom, aerospace, and computing. Reinforcement materials, long treated as a background detail in laminate design, are suddenly at the centre of performance, reliability, and supply‑chain discussions.
