MEETING OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER OF THE IPC DESIGNERS COUNCIL Date: Wednesday, the 13th of December 2000 Where: Connies Restaurant - Derby, Ct. Time: Networking 6:00pm, Meeting 7:00pm Topic: Laser Drilled Vias and HDI. Is it for you? A technical presentation on laser drilled vias and HDI will be given by John Quigley, Tech Circuits. As densities required for tomorrow's challenges increase, technologies in all aspects of the fabrication process need to keep pace. Laser drilling is one of those areas. There is quite a significant effect on routing capability with reduced via size as compared with reducing trace width for routing density. How can this technology help me address my current density crunch? Is it cost effective? What affect do the materials have? What is practical? These are just a few of the questions that will be addressed in this presentation. Other Business: In addition to our technical presentation, we will look at the program that our board of directors has selected for 2001. Our December meeting will also feature a festive holiday event (holiday door prizes!), as well as a time for fellowship between our members. All members are encouraged to join us for this final meeting of 2000. Meeting host: Our meeting host is Tech Circuits, a Manufacturer of high quality Multilayer, Double-Sided, and Single Sided printed circuit boards specializing in prototype and pre-production delivery cycles.
