Blind and buried vias are essential components in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, enabling complex electrical connections within layers of a circuit board while optimizing space in compact electronic devices. These vias require creating tiny apertures and pathways in the substrate, typically comprised of FR-4 or other high-performance materials, to facilitate seamless connections throughout the… READ MORE

PICA produces normal substrate carriers with 30/30 um (R&D with 20/20um with vias 50um). Laser size can be defined as needed. We participate in material selection recommending suitable materials to be used  with a very high Tg, 250 to 300 degrees C and a very low x7y CTE 2-5ppm/C By acting as our customers’ technical… READ MORE

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Shielding is used to reduce or block the electromagnetic radiation emitted by electronic devices or systems as well as preventing external electromagnetic radiation from entering and interfering with these devices. EMI materials work by providing a conductive barrier that absorbs or reflects electromagnetic waves, preventing them from propagating through the material and… READ MORE

Heavy Copper Printed Circuit Boards are widely used in applications where high current carrying capacity, improved thermal management, and enhanced reliability are essential. To ensure the optimum printed circuit board performance, material selection is critical. PICA offers heavy copper up to 12 ounces in volume production. We offer expert guidance for material selection for optimum… READ MORE

Impedance Control is the measure of the opposition that an electrical circuit presents to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is a combination of resistance, inductance, and capacitance and it is represented as a complex value with both magnitude and phase.   Impedance is a crucial parameter in high-frequency and digital signal transmission as it… READ MORE
