OCTOBER 2018 I FLEX007 MAGAZINE 61 5 Chuck Bauer Discusses the Future of Packaging E For over 35 years, Chuck has been a pioneer in electronics packaging, from 3D and system- in-package to multichip modules and nano tech- nology. He recently spoke with I-Connect007 about current trends in packaging, the need for product designers and manufacturers to communicate, and why no matter how cool the technology is, cost is still king. 6 SLP: The Next Level of Technology E As our electronic devices and machines become more powerful and as Moore's Law chugs along, things in the world of PCBs keep getting smaller. You know the drill—finer lines and spaces, thinner laminates, more layers— cram more circuitry into the same or shrinking area. Where will it all end? Or will it? 7 EPTE Newsletter: New Materials for Wearable Electronics E Technology continues to evolve, and wearable electronics are the focal point for many new c o n c e p t s. T h e n ex t generation of wearable products for the consumer electronics industry will create a new market with nothing but upside for manufacturers and suppliers. 8 From Trend to Game Changer: Which Technology Will Make the Cut? E At the recent EIPC Summer Conference, Hans Friedrichkeit of the PCB Network gave an engaging presentation on artificial intelligence and future technologies, which was well received by attendees. Who better than Hans to offer insight on which future megatrends might truly become game changers? 9 Flex Talk: Mina—RFID, LED and What Else? E Mina is a recently developed, advanced surface treatment that enables low-temperature soldering to aluminum.

J Reliability Takes on a New Urgency E The advent of the autonomous vehicle and all that has been written and discussed about it has made us stop and think deeply about what reliability really means. How can we ensure that the PCBs we make are reliable and how can we feel confident that reliability will carry through to the final product—for the lifetime of that product?
