Trainings and Workshops

The great diversification of application scenarios leads to more highly integrated substrates in order to match a wide variety of requirements. Therefore, advanced substrates play a central role in the rapid development of the electronics industry – they make it possible to overcome the limitations of conventional printed circuit boards and create innovative solutions for complex challenges and mission profiles. Their relevance extends across various application areas and technologies that are shaping the future of electronics.

Advanced substrates offer a number of advantages that go far beyond the capabilities of traditional printed circuit boards (PCBs). With the capability to route more contacts and serve a larger number of I/Os due to improved materials and processes, they significantly increase the overall performance of electronic components and pave the way for our next generation products. Novel dielectrics with better RF performance, thinner laminate layers, high aspect ratio vias and the possibility to merge the electronic with the optical domain make it possible to design devices that are not only more powerful, but also smaller and lighter - a decisive advantage in miniaturization and performance.

However, the relevance of advanced substrates does not only extend to technical performance. Their development and application also contribute to better sustainability. Biogenous and biodegradeable materials as well as more resource-efficient manufacturing processes, they can help to reduce the ecological footprint of the electronics industry, enable the circular economy and allow for mass customization to build products specific to a use case.
