The 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.

atg Luther & Maelzer to Exhibit at TPCA Show 2015
October 2, 2015 | atg Luther & MaelzerEstimated reading time: 1 minute
atg Luther & Maelzer will exhibit the fully automated flying probe test solution, A8a, as well as the high speed substrate test solution, S3-8, at the upcoming TPCA Show scheduled to take place October 21 - 23, 2015 at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei, Taiwan.
The A8a test system combines the flexibility of flying probe testers with high throughput. The A8a provides significant cost advantages compared to fixture testers for small and medium batches and fully meets the requirements in its main application field: The electrical test of HDI products for smart phones and tablets. The A8a ensures best productivity, most efficient operation and best test quality and accuracy.
The S3-8 10µm substrate tester meets the challenging requirements of high end substrate test such as positioning accuracy and high number of contact points by applying the advanced flying probe technology of atg Luther & Maelzer. With its double-sided, eight test heads architecture the S3-8 achieves a substantially higher speed. This high throughput capability enables testing of higher quantities of substrate boards with flying probe test systems providing the customer with an economical test solution for high high end substrate boards.
About TPCA Show
Taiwan has the world’s largest PCB industry, with an estimated value of 17.6 billion US dollars in 2014. This year, TPCA Show upholds its flagship standing by extending its reach from its fundamental elements – PCB manufacturing, materials and equipment – to downstream fields such as electronic assembly, surface finishing, IC packaging, thermal management, green technologies. With continued support from members of the PCB and peripheral industries, the 15th TPCA Show is expected to host 1,334 booths and to draw the attendance of more than 30,000 professional visitors. http://www.tpcashow.com

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Maria Cuesta-Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
