Will your job benefit if you have a clearer and more solid understanding
of PCB technology? Are you ready to advance your career by expanding
your capabilities and background? This workshop will help you build a
broad and in-depth PCB technology foundation by providing focused
curricula and learning experiences through lecture, hands-on samples,
and a virtual tour of a state-of-the-art PCB manufacturing facility.
Classic printed circuit board, high density interconnect HDI/microvia),
and hybrid multilayer, flex and rigid flex printed circuit board
technology will be explored. Topics include:
* PCB history 
* Process types 
* Common construction issues 
* Front-end engineering 
* CAD to CAM relationships 
* Documentation and quality 
* Classic MLB fabrication 
* Materials: conventional, advanced high performance, and hybrid 
* RF, microwave, digital and analog applications 
* Thermal considerations 
* Technology/cost trade-offs 
* How to evaluate a PCB manufacturing shop 
Advanced PCB technologies and exotic interconnection structures,
including HDI/microvia, hybrid constructions and materials and, flex and
rigid flex, will also be discussed.
