"Electrical Performance Advantages of Ultrathin Dielectric Materials Used for Power-Ground Cores in High-Speed, Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards" will be presented at IPC Printed Circuits Expo 2003 by Joel Peiffer, engineering specialist with the 3M Organic Materials Technology Center. Peiffer co-authored the paper with Bob Greenlee of Merix Corp. and Istvan Novak of Sun Microsystems. The electrical performance improvements, as well as the required changes in processing and material handling required to successfully manufacture multilayer printed circuit boards utilizing ultrathin dielectrics in a high-volume production setting, will be presented at the Thursday, March 27, session.
3M will exhibit its embedded capacitor material at booth 1656C in the Technology Center at the Expo, which will be at the Long Beach (Calif.) Convention Center.
