Current IssueIn 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 Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Isola to Exhibit and Present at DesignCon 2016 in Booth 507
December 16, 2015 | IsolaEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Now in its 21st year, DesignCon, which will be held in Santa Clara Convention Center on January 20-21, 2016, is the premier educational conference and technology exhibition for electronic design engineers in the high speed communications and semiconductor communities.
Join Isola in booth 507 to learn about the latest innovations in dielectric materials.
Join Isola at the following sessions during the show:
- A “Material” World, Modeling Dielectrics and Conductors for Interconnects Operating at 10-50 GBPS
- PCB-Substrate Characterization at Multigigahertz Frequencies Through SIW Measurements
- Characterizing Geometry-Dependent Crossover Frequency for Stripline Dielectric and Metal Losses
Taking place annually in Silicon Valley, DesignCon was created by engineers for engineers and remains the largest gathering of chip, board and systems designers in the country. Combining technical paper sessions, tutorials, industry panels, product demos and exhibits, DesignCon brings engineers the latest theories, methodologies, techniques, applications and demonstrations on PCB design tools, power and signal integrity, jitter and crosstalk, high-speed serial design, test and measurement tools, parallel and memory interface design, ICs, semiconductor components and more.
DesignCon enables chip, board and systems designers, software developers and silicon manufacturers to:
- Grow their design expertise
- Learn about and see the latest advanced design technologies and tools from top vendors in the industry
- Network with and gain inspiration from fellow engineers and design engineering experts
