Development of a Design & Manufacturing Environment for Reliable and Cost- Effective PCB Embedding Technology

The desire to have more functionality into increasingly smaller size end products has been pushing the PCB and IC Packaging industry towards High Density Interconnect (HDI) and 3D Packaging (stacked dies, embedded packaged components). Many companies in the high-end consumer electronics market place have been embedding passive chip ...

Embedded Passive Technology

Embedded Passive Technology is a viable technology that has been reliably used in the defense and aerospace industry for over 20 years. Embedded Passive (Resistors and Capacitors) Technology have a great potential for high frequency and high density applications. It also provides better signal performance, reduced parasitic and cross ...

Reliability of Embedded Planar Capacitors under Temperature and Voltage Stress

In this work the reliability of an embedded planar capacitor laminate under temperature and voltage stress is investigated. The capacitor laminate consisted of an epoxy-BaTiO3 composite sandwiched between two layers of copper. The test vehicle with the embedded capacitors was subjected to a temperature of 125oC and a voltage bias ...

Embedding Passive and Active Components: PCB Design and Fabrication Process Variations

Embedding components within the PC board structure is not a new concept. Until recently, however, most embedded component PC board applications adapted only passive elements. The early component forming processes relied on resistive inks and films to enable embedding of resistor and capacitors elements. Although these forming methods remain ...

Simplimatic Magazine Loader info -- I'm checking to see if anyone has some Simplimatic Mag handler programming information available such as their model 8130. Thanks, ATS

Yamaha YG100/Assembleon Opal XII camera brightness -- We operate a pair of Yamaha YG series pick and place machines (I believe also known as Assembleon Opal XII). One of them has nice, bright images from the cameras, while on the other the images are very dull. It's starting to cause problems with recognition on small parts like 0402 (imperial). We notice poor brightness from both the front and rear line scan cameras used to vision components, so it can't be the camera itself. The camera lighting LEDs are controlled by specific separate boards, so it can't be an issue there or we would see a different result front and back. Our second machine has the same cameras and we see a much brighter camera image and no visioning issues. Does anybody have any suggestions of where else we should be looking?
