Signal Integrity & Metallization
Signal integrity and additive manufacturing, particularly metallization, are hot topics in PCB design and fabrication. PCB layouts are carefully engineered to achieve specific electrical and power performance targets.
Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Ventec Showcases Glass Free Revolution and Launches Chiplam Portfolio at APEX EXPO 2026.
March 11, 2026 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group invites attendees of APEX EXPO 2026 to Booth 4642 to experience its Glass Free Revolution and the official launch of chiplam, a new high-performance materials portfolio for advanced semiconductor packaging and test applications.
As PCB and semiconductor technologies accelerate toward higher speeds, greater density, and increased thermal demands, Ventec is delivering innovative material solutions engineered for performance, precision, and reliability.
Leading the Glass Free Revolution
Ventec will showcase its pro-bond and thermal-bond RCF & RCC Bondply materials, designed to enable ultra-high-speed designs and applications requiring advanced thermal management.
These glass free solutions are ideal for:
- MLO interposers
- Probe cards
- Load boards
- U-HDI
- Embedded designs
- MiB
- Component packaging applications
Ventec’s pro-bond series marks a significant advancement in dielectric material technology, offering high-performance, glass free laminates engineered for the most demanding electronic & thermal management applications.
This innovation is essential for high-speed and high-frequency designs in aerospace, automotive, and next-generation communication systems.
By eliminating woven glass in thermal-bond, the thermal insulating effect of glass is removed from the dielectric, optimizing thermal performance and heat dissipation in MiB and embedded component multi-layer build up structures and component packaging applications.
By eliminating glass reinforcement, Ventec’s Glass Free materials enhance signal integrity, improve dimensional stability, and optimize thermal performance, empowering designers to overcome the
limitations of traditional laminate constructions.
Product Launch: chiplam High-Performance Materials Portfolio
Debuting at Booth 4642 during APEX EXPO 2026, chiplam is purpose-built to meet the evolving demands of advanced IC packaging and chip testing environments.
As semiconductor technologies push the boundaries of speed, density, and reliability, advanced packaging and test platforms require materials capable of performing under extreme conditions. chiplam delivers precision, stability, and long-term reliability where it matters most.
Designed for:
- Advanced IC packaging
- Burn-in boards (BiB)
- Probe cards
- Final test solutions
The chiplam Portfolio Includes:
- High-Tg and high-CTI laminates for burn-in and test boards
- Low-loss materials for high-speed and RF applications
- Thermally stable substrates for high-temperature burn-in environments
- Precision materials for probe card and fine-pitch testing applications
- Customized solutions tailored to specific packaging and reliability requirements
chiplam Delivers:
- Superior electrical performance
- Exceptional thermal stability
- Outstanding dimensional accuracy
- Long-term reliability under demanding test conditions
autolam & aerolam – High-Reliability Performance
Ventec will also highlight its autolam and aerolam material platforms — precision-engineered solutions tailored for demanding automotive and aerospace applications where durability, safety, and consistent performance are critical.
From ultra-high-speed computing and networking to semiconductor packaging and mission-critical automotive and aerospace systems, Ventec’s innovative materials portfolio is enabling the next generation of advanced electronic designs.

Rethinking Reinforcement Materials for Advanced Packaging
05/14/2026 | Ivana Ivanovic, Flexiramics B.V.Materials that once quietly supported the industry are now becoming limiting factors. The electronics industry is experiencing unprecedented pressure as RF systems push into mmWave frequencies, high-speed digital architectures advance into their next performance generation, and power densities climb across automotive, telecom, aerospace, and computing. Reinforcement materials, long treated as a background detail in laminate design, are suddenly at the centre of performance, reliability, and supply‑chain discussions.
Below the Surface: Active Component and Module Submounts—The Architecture Behind Performance
05/14/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceIf you were to peel back the layers of a modern electronic system, such as a satellite transceiver, a LiDAR module, or a 5G base station, you would not immediately notice a specific component doing some of the most important work. It doesn’t amplify signals, emit light, or process data, yet without it, none of those functions would be stable, reliable, or scalable. That component is the active device submount.
