 | Technology Tip Podcast: Voids
"Voids
are a major concern for any fabricator. Generally, if a board basically goes
through the entire process and there are voids that are discovered after the
fact, well, of course, the entire order often will be scrapped, or the customers
will not accept those boards from their supplier." – Michael Carano, OMG

"People are surprised when they see the great market share
increase of the use of OSP over the last five years. As a matter of fact, the
use of OSP has actually accelerated in the years 2006, 2007, and into 2008 on a
global basis."

Flexible Circuits
 | Pads-Only Plating
“Pads-only plating is a little bit misleading. It is, in essence, what it sounds like: we’re only out to plate the immediate pad to through-hole without plating the
rest of the surface of the circuit. Why would you want to do that? The biggest
advantage is flexibility.
