EI Institutes Quickturn Service for High-complexity PCBs
June 9, 2009 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
ENDICOTT, NY Endicott Interconnect Technologies Inc. (EI) developed a dedicated Quick Turn Around (QTA) line, manufacturing various prototype/new product introduction (NPI) PCBs in the early design phase. EI cites increased demand from defense, medical, and other high-complexity/high-reliability electronics sectors.
"Due to an increase in demand in the defense/aerospace, IT/supercomputer, medical and ATE markets, we have created a separate and dedicated QTA fabrication line with its own set of equipment, processes and operations personnel," said Jeff Knight, director of QTA Operations at EI. "We have invested in QTA capability in order to provide 5 to 15 day turn around times, including those PCBs requiring complex technologies, high layer counts, high density interconnect and advanced manufacturing processes." EI reports contracts with new and existing customers for the QTA line.
The photo shows an example of a fabricated QTA PCB. This is a 36 layer board with impedance control, gold surface finish, a 21:1 aspect ratio, depth controlled back drilling and pattern plating and was supplied in prototype quantities.
Once the prototype board is evaluated and approved by the customer, EI can transfer the design to production quantities, since its QTA line is a mirror image of the tools and processes employed in the standard fabrication line. In addition, the staff at EI can offer expertise in design for manufacturability (DfM) and process optimization for improving yields and product reliability.
