Current IssueDon’t Just Survive, Thrive
If we are to be relevant and prosper during these next critical decades in electronics, we must do more than survive. As an industry, we can and must thrive. In this issue, our contributors explore these concepts meant to help you take your business to the next level.
Material Matters
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. When building high mix, low volume, and high technology, managing materials and overall cost containment are even greater challenges.
Additive Manufacturing
In this month’s issue, we explore additive manufacturing technology for the PCB fabricator: where it stands today, the true benefits, and where it seems to be headed.

Vertical Conductive Structures, Part 4: Tuning Your Signal Performance
November 18, 2019 | Joan Tourné, NextGIn Technology BVEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

The objective of this article is to demonstrate the possibility of using a stitching element as an alternative to the point-to-point connections that are used with traditional via technology. Point-to-point connections have the best performance in terms of signal integrity (one via less in the connection that distorts the signal). A via is mainly a capacitive element that causes signal loss/ dispersion.
This study focuses on developing a layer transition element that minimises the loss and dispersion. We will use VeCS-2 technology (blind/hybrid) construction (Figure 1).
The advantage of using a stitching via is that we can use “traditional” orthogonal routing, which is very efficient in signal layer utilization. However, in some instances, orthogonal or Manhattan routing could yield a longer trace length, which could lead to a higher loss due to the dielectric and conductive losses.
