Addressing Interconnect Defects

When it comes to manufacturing high-quality products, material selection is one of the most important decisions you can make. While it may seem like a minor detail, the choice of materials significantly impacts a product’s lifespan, durability, and functionality. Not all materials are created equal,…

When multiple resins systems are used, a hybrid notification will appear. Checking the shield or mask check box will add surface finish and soldermask to the outer layers. Units in mils, mm and µm can be selected. The Zoom function will compress the stack up…

Growing use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for applications such as automotive radars, Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks, and satellite communications (satcom) mandates careful selection of printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials specially formulated to transmit signals at frequencies to 70 GHz and higher. At the same time, digital…
