Sunstone and I-007eBooks Launch Book on Designing for Reality
October 24, 2022 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-007eBooks is excited to announce the release of the latest title in its series for designers, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Designing for Reality.
This book covers both written and unwritten rules for how to create a realistic, manufacturable design.
Written by topic expert Matt Stevenson of Sunstone Circuits, this book covers the complete circuit board manufacturing process, taking readers on a virtual tour of the printed circuit manufacturing process, from choosing the right CAD tool, to additive/subtractive processes, and even touching on the art of PCB design.
Peer reviewer Duane Benson of Screaming Circuits, says, “I find that having a better understanding of the underlying process helps me create higher quality electronic designs. In this book, Matt Stevenson does a fantastic job of opening the hood and giving the reader that knowledge of the PC board fab process.”
Download your free copy today at I-007eBooks.com/dfr. You can also view our full library at I-007eBooks.com.
Dedicated to educating PCB designers, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… series of books is a valuable resource for people seeking the most relevant information available.
Look for other exciting titles, like:
- The Evolving PCB NPI Process
- Thermal Management with Insulated Substrates
- Stackups: The Design within the Design
- High Performance Materials
- System Analysis: Electromagnetic Interference and Thermal Analysis of Electronic Systems
- …and more coming this fall
We hope you enjoy The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Designing for Reality.

EV Group Achieves Breakthrough in Hybrid Bonding Overlay Control for Chiplet Integration
09/12/2025 | EV GroupEV Group (EVG), a leading provider of innovative process solutions and expertise serving leading-edge and future semiconductor designs and chip integration schemes, today unveiled the EVG®40 D2W—the first dedicated die-to-wafer overlay metrology platform to deliver 100 percent die overlay measurement on 300-mm wafers at high precision and speeds needed for production environments. With up to 15X higher throughput than EVG’s industry benchmark EVG®40 NT2 system designed for hybrid wafer bonding metrology, the new EVG40 D2W enables chipmakers to verify die placement accuracy and take rapid corrective action, improving process control and yield in high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
Integrating Uniplate PLBCu6 with the Digital Factory Suite
09/12/2025 | Giovanni Obino and Andreas Schatz, MKS' AtotechPrinted circuit board manufacturing is rapidly changing, driven by miniaturization, stringent reliability requirements, and growing pressure for sustainable production. Meeting these challenges requires more than incremental improvements; it demands a combination of precise equipment and real-time process intelligence. The pairing of Uniplate® PLBCu6 with the Digital Factory Suite (DFS) demonstrates how hardware and software can work together to create more responsive, resource-efficient manufacturing.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
