We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.

Ventec UK Continues to Maintain Highest AS9100 D Quality Compliance
February 1, 2021 | Ventec UKEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that the company’s European headquarters in Leamington Spa, UK continues to maintain highest AS9100 Revision D compliance in accordance with the Aerospace Supplier Quality System Certification Scheme following successful completion of its surveillance audit.
The company’s locations in the UK and China are certified with AS9100 Revision D and its German facility will follow shortly. The certification provides OEM’s and PCB fabrication customers in the aviation, space and defense industries access to a fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and prepregs. This standard includes ISO 9001:2015 quality management system requirements and specifies additional aviation, space and defense industry requirements, definitions and notes.
Anthony Jackson, General Manager of the UK facility commented, “Successfully passing the AS9100 D surveillance audit with no non-conformances underlines our commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest quality standards. It reflects the hard work of the entire Ventec team to continuously implement and practice the highest levels of process quality and providing our customers with the quality assurances they depend on for their own safety critical supply chains.”
Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA and Americas added, “To qualify and meet the strict certification criteria of the certification, our material manufacturing & supply processes undergo regular in-depth assessments for stringent aerospace requirements. Attaining and maintaining certification is critical to our mission to consistently and reliably offer aerospace- and automotive-grade materials to the market.”
From manufacture through fabrication and global delivery, Ventec's high quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4, tec-speed range of high speed/low loss materials and tec-thermal range of thermal management materials are all covered by the accreditation.
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. is a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions. Further information about Ventec’s solutions and the company’s wide variety of products is available at www.venteclaminates.com and/or by downloading the Ventec APP.

Designers Notebook: Addressing Future Challenges for Designers
02/06/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board is and will probably continue to be the base platform for most electronics. With the proliferation of new generations of high I/O, fine-pitch surface mount semiconductor package variations, circuit interconnect is an insignificant factor. Circuit board designers continually face challenges such as component quantity and complexity, limited surface area, and meeting the circuit board’s cost target. The printed circuit design engineer’s prominent position demands the development of efficiently manufacturable products that perform without compromise.
DesignCon 2025, Day 2: It’s All About AI
01/30/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s hard to get away from the topic of artificial intelligence, but why would you? It’s everywhere and in everything, and my time attending presentations about AI at DesignCon 2025 was well worth it. The conference’s agenda featured engaging presentations and discussions focused on the technological advancements in AI, big data centers, and memory innovations, emphasizing the critical relationship between processors and circuit boards.
Beyond Design: Electro-optical Circuit Boards
01/22/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignPredicting the role of PCB designers in 10 years is a challenge. If only I had a crystal ball. However, we know that as technology progresses, the limitations of copper PCBs are increasingly apparent, particularly regarding speed, bandwidth, and signal integrity. Innovations such as optical interconnects and photonic integrated circuits are setting the stage for the next generation of PCBs, delivering higher performance and efficiency. The future of PCB design will probably incorporate these new technologies to address the challenges of traditional copper-based designs.
Designers Notebook: Impact of Advanced Semiconductor Packaging on PCB Stackup
01/07/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookTo accommodate new generations of high I/O semiconductor packaging, printed circuit board fabrication technology has had to undergo significant changes in both the process methods and the criteria for base material selection and construction sequence (stackup). Many of the new high-function multi-core semiconductor package families require more terminals than their predecessors, requiring a significantly narrower terminal pitch. Interconnecting these very fine-pitch, high I/O semiconductors to the PCB is made possible by an intermediate element referred to as an interposer.
