SAN CLEMENTE, CA, May 26 -- The global market for dry film grew over 20% in 2003, according to a new study released this week.

According to the Quantum Performance Group (quantumpg.com), the top three dry-film photoresist suppliers last year were Hitachi Chemical (25% share), Eternal Chemical, including the Shipley business acquired in 2003 (24% share) and DuPont (22% share).

In the Americas, DuPont regained the top spot after more than a decade in second.

The report, which is available to QPG subscribers, also provides data on liquid photoresists, LPI soldermasks, and silver halide and diazo phototools.

Development Kit Test Drives Innovative Cable Assemblies

3M introduces the Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit, 2mm. The development kit enables users to assess, test and design high-performance, 2mm SCI cable-to-board solutions. Engineers can attain multi-gigahertz performance from 2 mm printed circuit board connectors using 2mm shielded controlled impedance cable assemblies.

The SCI connectors save board space without affecting performance. Users can verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for designs requiring up to 1 Gbps single-ended performance per signal line or 5 Gbps differential performance per signal pair.

The kit contains everything needed to assess, test and design, including a CD-ROM with application note, test instruction and technical sheets.
