Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.

Nordson to Demonstrate Plasma Treatment, Automated Fluid Dispensing Systems at SEMICON China 2024
March 6, 2024 | Nordson Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Nordson Electronics Solutions, a global leader in reliable electronics manufacturing technologies, will demonstrate their latest equipment for semiconductor manufacturing at SEMICON China 2024, booth 3645.
Plasma removes impurities and activates surfaces to enhance flow and adhesion for improved semiconductor package reliability. Fluid dispensing provides adhesion, structural integrity, thermal and electrical conductivity, and more in microelectronics manufacturing applications. Equipment in the booth includes:
- The MARCH FlexTRAK®-CD plasma system delivers high-throughput plasma processing of strip-type components for semiconductor manufacturing applications, such as leadframe or laminate strips presented in magazines. Flexible chamber configurations support contamination removal, etching, and surface activation before die attach, wire bond, molding and encapsulation, and underfill applications.
- The ASYMTEK Vantage® fluid dispensing system is used for applications in wafer-level packaging and panel-level packaging during semiconductor manufacturing. The Vantage system dispenses precise, fine lines to meet requirements for underfill, gap fill, sealing lines for fan-out/fan-in, strips, and module assembly. When configured with dual IntelliJet® valves, using Nordson’s patented jetting technology, Vantage can dispense into gaps less than 200 microns, and up to 90,000 dots per hour.
Experts will be ready to answer questions, discuss industry trends, and help navigate the challenges of electronics manufacturing to enhance efficiency, precision, and reliability across your projects. SEMICON China will be held at the New International Expo Centre, Shanghai, China, March 20 – 23, 2024. Our booth #3645 is shared with the Nordson Test and Inspection division.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
