Material Selection and Fabrication Techniques that Optimize Manufacturability, 
Reliability and Signal Integrity


Event: One Day Material Selection and Fabrication Techniques course sponsored 
by Isola Group

Date: December 8, 2010

Location: Clarion Hotel SFO Airport
      401 East Millbrae Ave
      Millbrae, California 94030

Course Description:

Today's high-speed PCBs, with their inherent signal integrity and power 
delivery requirements, make it necessary to employ far more discipline in the 
choice of materials and the arrangement of layers in the stackup. These 
requirements are outside the skill set of all PCB fabricators.  The objective 
of this course is to guide the design engineer through the process of 
evaluating and selecting the right laminate for any given design and then 
designing a PCB stackup that meets the numerous requirements of a complex, 
multilayer board that works right the first time.

The first portion of this class consists of a one-hour session conducted by 
Isola Group. Topics that will be addressed include the building blocks 
available for core and prepreg materials, the impact of material selection; an 
overview of available materials, what designers should be looking for during 
the evaluation and selection process and a short tutorial on Isostack, a new 
web-based stack up tool.
                
The second portion of the class is conducted by Lee Ritchey, founder and 
president of Speeding Edge who is considered to be one of the industry's 
premier authorities on the design and manufacture of high-speed PCB systems. 
The fast data paths that are pervasive in all PCB products being currently 
designed make it imperative to be able to design stackups that have predictable 
and repeatable impedances. This new five hour training session addresses 
several industry-critical issues including accounting for copper roughness and 
its affect on overall signal loss; specifying copper roughness to ensure 
repeatable loss from lot to lot and fabricator to fabricator; specifying glass 
weave styles to minimize differential skew; determining plane copper thickness 
to ensure power delivery needs are met and specifying dielectric materials that 
are readily available and economical to manufacture.
