32 The PCB Design Magazine • October 2014 PCB007 News highlights the PCBs and provide assembly, integration, and test services. Precision Circuits West Unveils Line of Aluminum PCBs These aluminum PCBs (also called metal core PCBs) are five to ten times as thermally conductive as conventional epoxy-glass, at one-tenth of the thickness resulting in thermal transfer far more ef- ficient than a conventional rigid PCB. Intercept Strengthens Canadian Representation with kaltron "Kaltron is delighted to offer Intercept's PCB, Hybrid IC, and rF software solutions to our cus- tomers in Canada. They complement very well our existing portfolio of design services, components, and modules," said Tom Martin, president of Kal- tron. Multitest Leads the Way in 0.3 mm-pitch PCBs Multitest can manufacture PCBs with 40+ layers at 0.35 mm in a single lamination process without the use of laser drilled, "stacked," blind vias. Ibiden Receives Multilayer PCB Manufacturing Tech Patent The patent is mainly for a method of manufactur- ing a multi-layer printed wiring board including forming a core substrate, forming a first interlayer insulation layer over the core substrate, and form- ing a first filled via in the first interlayer insulation layer. AT&S Among Top Performers in Resource Efficiency The Lean & Green jury highlighted particularly the data transparency and the culture of open com- munication within the company. aT&S is commit- ted to a green strategy and sustainability is a major goal for all employees.
