NCAB Group has signed an
agreement to acquire 100% of the
shares in Bare Board Consultants
Srl based in Codogno south of
Milano in Italy. The transaction is
estimated to close in January.
The photolithography pro-
cess defines the circuitry on the
panel. As one may surmise, the
imaging process used in the fab-
rication of high density and ultra
high-density circuity has made
significant advances over the last
decade—and just in time. How-
ever, as is so true of many of the
processes in PWB fabrication, up
and down stream processes can
and will influence what happens
in a particular process.
The productronica/electronica pair-
ing of trade shows is an experience
unlike any other; anyone who has
ever attended is likely to back me
up on that claim. This year's itera-
tion of electronica, taking place in Messe Munich, Nov.
15-18, is no exception. I-Connect007 was onsite to gather
the news and share our impressions of the show.
Imagine fabricating PCBs without
the hassle of drilled vias and metal
plating. Imagine PCBs with near-
perfect registration. If we take it to
the next stage, imagine drawing
electronics in 3D space. There is a
way to do all this with additively manufactured electron-
ics (AME). We just need to start to think in 3D.
Historically electrical test has
processed product with passive
inductor features without really
knowing what they were, other
than causing continuity threshold
violations. This is usually due to
the long traces that exhibit higher resistance than the 10-
or 20-ohms threshold. Typically, these have been delay-
ing traces or heater traces.
Arlon Electronic Materials is pleased to announce the company has entered into a licensing
agreement with Elite Materials Co. Ltd. (EMC), Taiwan. Under the terms of this agreement, EMC
will commence volume production of Arlon's flag ship polyimide material 85N.
