PCB West 2018: Unveiling Our Revolutionary 1-Millimeter Trace and Spacing Patented Technology
Sierra Circuits Showcases New 1-mil Trace and Space Technology at PCB West 2018
Sierra Circuits is making waves at this year's PCB West event with the introduction of a ground-breaking technology: a patented 1-mil trace and space capability for printed circuit boards (PCBs). This advanced fabrication process allows for extremely fine line widths and spacing between traces, enabling higher density circuit designs and more compact, efficient electronics.
The new technology, which pushes the traditional PCB manufacturing tolerances to 1 mil, was showcased at Sierra's booth (#408) and was accessible through Oculus headsets, offering visitors a 3D virtual tour of its manufacturing and PCB assembly buildings. This tour included visits to Sierra's drilling area, cross-section lab, lamination area, and various machines like the Juki Pick-n-Place.
Sierra Circuits' main theme for PCB West 2018 is High Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB, and the company is revamping its HDI Design Guide to cover topics such as when to use HDI, potential issues, benefits, and design techniques for .4mm and .5mm BGA, as well as stacked or staggered vias. The guide will feature insights from industry experts like Rick Hartley, Eric Bogatin, and Happy Holden.
In addition to the virtual tour and HDI Design Guide, Sierra Circuits will conduct and film interviews with PCB West speakers in a Hyatt conference room. These 4K videos will be available on their blog and YouTube channel shortly after the event. Last year, Sierra interviewed speakers such as Simon Fried from Nano Dimension, Hemant Shah from Cadence, Humair Mandavia from Zuken, and Pete Waddell, President of UP Media and Founder of PCB West.
Visitors are encouraged to check PCB West's conference schedule before their visit, and those interested in touring Sierra's facilities in Sunnyvale before the event can email hayleyp@our website to book a tour. The event will also feature a VIP reception, offering an opportunity to ask questions, enjoy champagne, and hors d'oeuvres.
Amit Bahl, Sierra's Director of Sales and Marketing, stated that the 1-mil technology is now available at low cost on regular circuit boards, making it accessible for a wide range of projects. This advancement reflects Sierra Circuits' commitment to staying at the forefront of PCB manufacturing technology.
