INDUSTRY EVENT ALERT
NCMS TO UNVEIL ADVANCED EMBEDDED PASSIVES TECHNOLOGY
Consortium to Deliver AEPT Solution to the Microelectronics Industry for
Developing High-Density and High-Performance Products
Press contact at bottom of page
WHAT:
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) will unveil the ideal model for combining materials, design and processing technologies for embedding passive devices into circuit board substrates at its AEPT Seminar. These advanced embedded passives technologies will enable microelectronics manufacturers to economically attain significant performance improvements, reductions in space requirements and reliability improvement in circuit boards. The breakthrough findings to be made public for the first time are the result of a collaborative research project spearheaded by NCMS and co-funded by industry and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
WHAT THE FINDINGS DELIVER:
- New resistor and capacitor materials solutions for the microelectronics industry's need for compact, high performance products that incorporate characterized technology.
- Results of cost-effective solutions for large format circuit boards that demonstrate high manufacturing yield.
User-friendly cost modeling, performance simulation and design tools for product designers.
- Potential to reduce the system cost of resistors to half that of chip resistors.
- Demonstrated signal integrity improvements at speeds higher than 2.5 GHz.
- Laser trim and test equipment that allows greater accuracy for embedded resistor technology.
- IPC and UL standards development well underway.
