Innovative Circuits Receives Certification to Use Zeta Laminate and Film Solutions
September 1, 2015 | Innovative Circuits, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Innovative Circuits, Inc. a fabricator of rigid and flex printed circuits, recently became one of a very select group to be certified on use of Integral Technologies Zeta glass free laminate and film solutions. The Zeta family of materials is designed to meet the ever-changing demands in the electronics industry for miniaturization along with increased thermal and electrical requirements.
Zeta Cap is a high-Tg C-stage glass free copper-clad laminate designed to eliminate pad cratering in circuit board assembly. A related dielectric film, Zeta Lam, allows for ultra-thin (down to 12 microns) HDI buildup layers with improved thickness uniformity and transmission line performance. The third of the family, Zeta Bond is a B stage glass free bonding film capable of filling circuits and vias.
Innovative Chief Engineer Dale Lovell explains why they took on this challenge. “Over the years we have had clients who push the technology envelope. To keep up with this demand we have to continuously reinvest in equipment and building materials. We felt the Zeta products would provide our customers with another high reliability option to produce thinner circuit boards with better signal integrity.”
Since 1998, Innovative Circuits has specialized in high tech fabrication of flexible circuits; rigid-flex and multilayer rigid printed circuit boards. The company provides quick turn, R&D and mid-level production services to the commercial, defense and aerospace industries. The company is certified to ISO9001:2008 Quality Systems and ITAR Registered. To learn more visit www.innovative-circuits.com.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
07/18/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007It may be the middle of the summer, but the news doesn’t quit, and there’s plenty to talk about this week, whether you’re talking technical or on a global scale. When I have to choose six items instead of my regular five, you know it’s good. I start by highlighting my interview with Martyn Gaudion on his latest book, share some concerning tariff news, follow that up with some promising (and not-so-promising) investments, and feature a paper from last January’s inaugural Pan-European Design Conference.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
