Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In 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.

Liam Lynch Appointed as Sales & Customer Service Manager for Ventec UK
August 3, 2015 | Ventec UKEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec Europe is pleased to announce the appointment of Liam Lynch as Sales & Customer Service Manager for Ventec UK.
Well known and highly respected in the UK printed circuit community, Liam brings with him a wealth of industry experience. With an honours degree in computing and a background as a sales executive in the publishing industry, Liam joined a UK-based distributor of laminates, prepregs and ancillary materials and has spent the last 18 years as Sales Manager, developing the UK customer base, expanding sales and introducing new products to market.
COO Mark Goodwin explained the rationale behind Liam’s appointment: “As our organisation continues to evolve, we recognise the need to bring our internal and external sales teams in the UK and UK-managed territories under a single reporting line and manager, and Liam is the perfect candidate for the position, with his proven management capabilities and his extensive product and market knowledge. His experience will be instrumental in developing sales of selected complementary products such as drill entry and exit materials, release films, press packaging materials and including the services of our high technology mass lamination facility all supported through the Ventec UK infrastructure.”
Liam Lynch commented “Although I have greatly enjoyed my achievements over 18 years in laminate distribution, I am increasingly aware of the market trend for the OEM to set the specification and to demand that PCB suppliers purchase nominated substrate materials direct from the primary manufacturer. I have a clear understanding of Ventec’s commitment to technology, quality and customer service, and look forward to becoming a member of the Ventec UK management team.”

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
