Advance Chip & Circuit Materials has recently joined the Polar Speedstack Material Partner Program to ease the inclusion of ACCM's innovative Celeritas build up materials into the PCB supply chain.
“Availability of Celeritas in Speedstack eases the specification of ACCM materials for the OEM design community. PCB Technologists often mandate specific materials for demanding high-speed and high-density applications,” said Michael Gay, VP of marketing at ACCM.
This partnership:
- Allows simplified production of build-up technologies with Celeritas
- Provides an on-line and on premise material library from ACCM in Speedstack
- Opens new opportunities to extend the use of UHDI
Speedstack is in widespread use with OEMs who specify PCB stackups for specific applications, and eases the communication of stackup information throughout the PCB supply chain as PCB fabricators across the world are familiar with Speedstack’s clear and concise documentation and the availability of stackup data in XML format which can be imported into multiple production systems at the time of fabrication.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
