Bert, The latest Isola data shows these glass weaves in all of their resin systems. Not sure about Nelco as they haven't updated their materials info in about 5 years. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Havermann, Gert" <Gert.Havermann@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 12:34 AM To: "Lee Ritchey" <leeritchey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: AW: [SI-LIST] AW: Fiber weave effect modeling > Hi Lee, > > this is really interesting.

Due to the non-homogenous nature >> of printed circuit board laminates, the fiberglass weave pattern >> causes signals to propagate at different speeds within differential >> pair traces; causing timing skew and mode conversion at the receiver; >> leading to reduced bit-error-rate (BER) performance; and increased EMI >> radiation. The relative dielectric constant (Dk) surrounding a trace >> ultimately determines its propagation delay.
