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.

Panasonic Develops Ultra-Low-Loss PCB Material for Packages and Modules
May 29, 2018 | Panasonic CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Panasonic Corporation has developed an ultra-low transmission loss circuit board material (Product No. Laminate R-G545L/R-G545E, Prepreg R-G540L/R-G540E) that is suitable for use in semiconductor packages and modules. The company will start mass-producing the material from June 2018. The newly developed material allows the stable operation of semiconductor devices that process enormous data at a high speed.
Due to the expansion of IoT (Internet of Things) network and the launch of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications system scheduled to be implemented in 2020. It is expected that the data communication will become further larger in volume and faster.
This circumstance has created a demand for circuit board materials used in semiconductor packages and modules that need to be adapted for high-speed/large-capacity data communication applications. From its original resin design technology, the company has developed the circuit board material with ultra-low transmission loss for semiconductor packages and modules. The material offers the lowest transmission loss among the other materials used in the industry.
