HSIO Circuit Technologies Acquires former HEI Circuit Fabrication Operation in Tempe, AZ
January 11, 2016 | HSIO Circuit TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
HSIO Technologies, LLC headquartered in Maple Grove MN announces that on December 14, 2015 a wholly owned subsidiary HSIO Circuit Technologies, LLC acquired the former HEI Circuit Fabrication operation Cochlear Tempe, LLC in Tempe AZ. The Tempe operation was considered a leading domestic supplier of Rigid Flex, Flex Circuit and Rigid PCB substrate products and was acquired by Cochlear LTD of Sydney Australia early 2015 as part of bankruptcy proceedings of the parent HEI, Inc. of Victoria MN. The operation will continue production as an ongoing concern and introduce new enhanced and expanded capability in 2016 under the HSIO Circuit Technologies, LLC operating unit. The goal of the operation is to provide industry leading domestic supply of very fine line and space circuit fabrication focused on small form factor high performance Flex Circuit, Rigid Flex, Rigid PCB, and Semiconductor Package Substrate applications. In addition to conventional circuit applications, the operation will implement production of HSIO’s next generation Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) high performance high density circuit fabrication capability which enables extreme impedance tuning with high aspect ratio circuits and full metal copper vias capable of 12 micron geometries in an implantable material set.
This acquisition complements the 2012 asset acquisition of R&D Interconnect Solutions to provide the industry leading combination of high performance Printed Circuit, Semiconductor Test Socket, Wafer Probe and Connector products available with over 60 US and International patents issued, granted, licensed and pending with tuned performance beyond 40 GHz.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.
