Topic:    Design Roadmap for Success Now and for the
Future
              How your choice of components
drive design, materials and manufacturing

Presentation by:  Tom Doslak  Vice President and Founder  of Streamline Circuits Corp.

The evolution of PCB packaging technology poses increasing demands
on both the Designer and manufacturer. Tom
Doslak has
been involved with Manufacturing  advanced PCB’s
for 24 years
and continues to push the limits of the technology for his
customers to
meet these ongoing challenges. Tom’s presentation
will provide some insight on how the components you select are starting to
dictate critical attributes for manufacturing.  In design, we have to work
together as a team in order to insure the correct copper weights and
dielectrics are chosen to optimize signal integrity, loss, and propagation
delay.  With HDI being so prevalent in the industry today, compromises
must take place in your choice of material and other processes.  Design
attributes such as line width and air gap are just two of the attributes which
influence the choice of copper weights.

Combinations of laser drilling and mechanical drilling require the fabricator
to make heavy investment in high technology equipment not previously available
in order to yield reliable product. Plating processes have also been enhanced
in many ways for 28 to 1 aspect Ratios, etc.  PCB technology continues to
evolve and our industry requires constant updating of software and hardware to
maintain supply of high quality, advanced product to the customer.  Tom will share many critical attributes and detail some of the industry solutions
to enhance your knowledge as a designer of today’s technology and give you a
peek at tomorrow from the fabricators point of view.
