Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Trouble in Your Tank: The Root Cause of ICDs, Part II
One can never get enough of a bad thing. And that applies to circuit board fabrication and technical issues such as ICDs. In the September 2012 Trouble in Your Tank column in this magazine, I summarized the different types of ICD and even covered an actual case history. In Part II, I present another case study and again challenge the reader to test his or her troubleshooting skills.
This article originally appeared in the March 2013 issue of The PCB Magazine.
