Eventually, when signal bandwidths reach in the GHz range and you reduce loss tangent to a very low value, the dominant loss mechanism in a PCB switches from dielectric conductor. You will then start to notice the effect of excess roughness on losses. See how it works and some example data in this article by Zachariah Peterson https://lnkd.in/g_tBtZZb #electronicsengineering #pcbdesign #signalintegrity

What is Wafer Dicing? 💎 In semiconductor fabrication, wafer dicing (or die singulation) is an important step. Here's how it works: Methods of Dicing: - Scribing and Breaking: Like with a sheet of cardboard, predefined lines on the wafer create breaking points for separation. - Mechanical Sawing: High-speed (up to 30,000 RPM) diamond-tip blades cut wafers. - Laser Cutting: Laser beams create fine cuts along the intended separation lines. Laser dicing offers flexibility in die shape and is especially useful for delicate materials. - Plasma Dicing: This method uses reactive plasma to etch the wafer along pre-defined paths. It’s highly precise and can handle very thin wafers without causing mechanical damage. Precision: - Wafers are mounted on dicing tape, holding them on a thin sheet metal frame during the process. Die Streets and Shapes: - The areas cut away during dicing are called die streets, typically about 75 micrometers wide. - Dies can be rectangular, square, or other shapes, depending on the method used. Some advanced laser dicers can create custom shapes. Materials Diced: - Not limited to silicon. - Used for glass, ceramics, and more. Engineering Challenges: - Achieving sub-micron precision. - Ensuring minimal damage to the wafer and dies. - Debris control, contaminants can affect die performance and reliability. - Efficient heat dissipation. - Dicing thin wafers without breakage or warping. - Balancing speed with precision and quality control. - Maintaining dicing equipment can be expensive.

In “PCB 3.0: A New Design Methodology: Manufacturing” Patrick Davis, Cadence Design Systems, returns to the podcast to talk about design rules. As design considerations become more and more complex, so, too, do the rulesets designers must abide by. But rather than seeing them as impossible sets of constraints, Davis shares a vision in which designers can maximize their creative efficiencies while relying on ever more complex design rules to keep everything straight.

Tesla is urging its suppliers to move the production of key components out of China and Taiwan by next year, aiming to mitigate geopolitical risks. This request, targeting suppliers of printed circuit boards, displays, and electronic control units, comes amid escalating tensions between China, Taiwan, and the United States. Tesla's strategy seeks to diversify its supplier base to avoid potential supply chain disruptions and maintain its competitive edge. While other American automakers like General Motors and Ford Motor Company have also considered similar moves, Tesla is taking more definitive action. Despite these shifts, Tesla remains committed to its Chinese market, as evidenced by CEO Elon Musk's recent visit to seek approval for advanced driver-assist software. #LifeWorkSearch #Tesla #Production https://lnkd.in/eFFd85Cv
