I  participated in an IPC webcast yesterday on embedding components and would 
 like to pursue it further to determine if there are any benefits for my  
boards. Does anyone have experience with this, either positive or  negative?


Paul, 
 
About 130 subscribers use a similar forum to TechNet (called EmbeddedNet)  to 
share information about embedded passive and active components.  We also  
hold a monthly Telecon about standards activity, upcoming seminars having  
embedded component papers, and we try each month to have a guest speaker on  topic 
of interest.  We too had a telecon yesterday where Oak Mitsui and  Ohmega 
Technologies discussed their promotion of a new product having a resistor  layer 
and capacitor layer in the same laminate. The purpose of the discussion  was to 
outline what could be done with "electrical functions - filters, etc.)  that 
could be easily created inside the board.   Other recent  discussions have 
included contract laser trim for resistors, and what activity  is occurring with 
embeddeds in Japan.  
 
Should you wish to join that group, address to [log in to unmask] 
(mailto:[log in to unmask]) , and in the subject  line put "subscribe".  
 
Since I am one of the "believers" in both "formed" and "placed" embedded  
components, I will tell you I am speaking next week on that subject at the IPC  
Technology Forum in Portland, Oregon.  Now, I will sit on the sideline and  see 
what comments you get here on TechNet.
