  HDI ROUTING HIGHLIGHTS AND INSIGHTS 
  Tuesday, March 27; 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (FREE) 
  Room 210
  PCB Design Conference West 2007
  Santa Clara, CA
   
  DESCRIPTION:  This is a short overview and introduction to an advanced PCB 
technology, High Density Interconnects (HDI) or as it is called, Microvia or 
Build-Up Technology. Two growing product focuses, miniaturization and ball grid 
arrays, have come into common use, and created the need for advanced printed 
wiring boards (PWB) - - both as the board and as the package. This short 
discussion looks at basic technologies for HDI routing of portable products, 
high performance computing, telecom and dense System-In-Package (SiP) modules. 
PWB wiring stackups, design rules, and selection of PWB microvia structures 
will be examined and compared. The program will define how to select circuit 
routing guidelines, manufacturing process features to permit the use of widely 
accepted fine pitch and high I/O BGA components. Participants are encouraged to 
bring along their technical questions for discussion.
   
  Who Should Attend: Project Managers, design and hardware engineers, field 
support personnel, pcb layout, design, process, failure analysis, and 
reliability engineers, others.
   
  Topics: AGENDA for  Seminar 12:00 pm
