Glenn Oliver

Senior Engineer at
DuPont Electronics

Glenn Oliver has 13
years at DuPont working with ceramic, HDI, flexible circuit, and high frequency
materials.  Previous to DuPont, he was involved in the fiber optics and
photonics industries.  Glenn’s current focus is application development
for OEM’s in the areas of high frequency materials and flex circuits.  He
is currently chair of the IPC D24c Task Group responsible for developing test
methods for high frequency materials.

Topic: “Unreinforced
Films in High Frequency and High Speed Circuits”

When one thinks of an
unreinforced film (without glass) in a circuit, one might first think of a
flexible circuit with polyimide.  Often these materials are not considered
for high frequency applications due to the high dielectric loss of flexible adhesives. 
However, the core material used in flex circuits have very desirable properties
of low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss.  Not using these lossy
adhesives results in very desirable performance.  This talk will 
discuss some advantages of thin unreinforced films that are quite beneficial to
high frequency and high speed applications.

 

Michael J. Gay 

Director Business
Development, Strategic Accounts at Isola Group

Michael has been with Isola for 15 years and has 20 years
of experience in the laminate and PCB manufacturing industries. Michael has
held various positions at Isola which include Sales Manager and Director,
Emerging Products Asia Pacific Region, The responsibilities ranged from new
product introduction, process development and technical support for Isola
customers.

Michael is also active in PCB industry organizations, HDPUG
and IPC, were he currently provides technical expertise to industry critical
committees and projects.

He received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering and Masters of Business Administration from Portland State
University.

Topic: “Material
Selection for Specialized Rigid Designs”

New ​dielectric ​materials
have been designed and introduced to address a wide range of current ​PCB​ material
requirements.  New rigid PCB designs require higher data rates, increased
complexity and robust thermal performance, while
maintaining an acceptable balance of cost to performance. ​These concerns, along with a variety of available products from multiple suppliers, make
selecting the right material that meets your
design's performance ​requirements at a reasonable cost, very challenging.  With ​so many options
available, how ​do you select the right material or materials for ​your designs?  What attributes are important and how much
testing needs to be done to ensure ​your design will work?  The presentation will demonstrate
how new materials address these concerns and how you can narrow down
the choices and select the right material for your primary design
criteria. 

 

 

Please RSVP no later than noon on Tuesday, April 12

I look forward to seeing there!
