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.

Last month, PCB007 Editor Steve Gold recorded a controversial column in his weekly Gold Record. In that audio piece, Gold blamed former CEO John Endee for the ruination of Photocircuits. He said Endee's failure to invest in Asian infrastructure ultimately killed the storied PCB manufacturer.PCB007 Columnist Dan Beaulieu decided to defend his friend's honor. He invited Gold to a taping of Crosstalk at the PCB Design West show in Santa Clara, California, last week. The one catch: this verbal sparring session would take place in front of a video camera.
