Tel Aviv, Israel, Date - Siemens Digital Industries and Nistec today announced they have signed an agreement for distribution in Israel of Siemens' PCBflow simulation tools. The unique agreement, signed at the Siemens offices in Israel, will be performed between Nistec and the Siemens Verification Division (Siemens DISW), which provides simulation tools for electronic circuits. This division is comprised of the Israeli company Valor, which was sold to Mentor Graphics and acquired in 2016 by Siemens Global for $4.5 billion. Valor, which was integrated into Siemens, provides software solutions for the three development stages of electronic circuits, from the design stage to the manufacturing and assembly stages.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MAY 04, 2022 -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) Microcircuit and Component Materials (MCM) is collaborating with Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan to demonstrate the value of DuPont™ GreenTape™ LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) material used in AiP (Antenna in Package) applications. This collaboration is resulting in an ideal alternative to existing Print Circuit Board (PCB) options.
An in-depth introductory video of the technology will be officially launched at Booth #104 inside the Del Mar Electronics & Manufacturing Show (DMEMS) 2022 from May 4 to May 5, 2022.
In 5G communication, millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequencies are used to achieve ultra-high speed, large capacity and ultra-low latency. GreenTape™ LTCC and Argentum conductive pastes are used to form radio frequency components, substrates, and Antenna in Package for Radio Frequency Front End Modules in 5G mmWave small cells/peripherals. The LTCC system offers advantages of higher reliability, excellent electrical performance, good thermal conductivity and outstanding environmental resistance, which enables a higher degree of design freedom.
“We’re honored to collaborate with ITRI to demonstrate the value of DuPontTM MCM GreenTapeTM LTCC systems for Antenna in Package applications. To achieve better efficiency and lower power consumption in the antenna array and Radio Frequency Front End module, RF circuit design and low loss material with good thermal stability & reliability will be the critical success factors. ITRI has very strong capabilities which include circuit design, LTCC prototyping, system assembly and testing, and RF performance validation. This collaboration successfully showcases DuPontTM MCM GreenTapeTM LTCC as a perfect material system for Antenna in Package applications,” said Yu-Ling Hsiao, global technology leader, DuPont MCM.
“LTCC delivers both superior environmental tolerance and a high level of design freedom in high frequency applications. It is perfectly suited for use in RF transceiver devices at 5G mmWave band, such as 28GHz and 39GHz,” said Tzong-Ming Lee, ITRI vice president and general director of Material and Chemical Research Laboratories. “Using single material DuPont™ MCM LTCC GreenTape™, we are able to maintain good thermal stability and heat performance while significantly reducing insertion loss. This has opened the door to developing new AiP substrates, reducing size and signal loss.”
In July, DuPont MCM will hold a joint seminar with ITRI of Taiwan in Taipei to introduce the latest prototype to the market.

As of April 1st, Ucamco has established a subsidiary of Ucamco NV in North America. The subsidiary is presided by Luc Maesen, who has been working with the company since 1988 and was already in charge of Ucamco USA.
“Not much changes for our existing customers, they will continue to reap the benefits of our ongoing partnership. The implementation of an official subsidiary shows Ucamco’s commitment to continue developing our activities in the North American market”, says Luc Maesen.
“The PCB software market in the USA, Canada and Mexico is far from saturated, and there is a lot of territory to be conquered, still. It feels good to know that my partners in Europe feel the same way. The investments being made prove that Ucamco is devoted to the continued expansion of its direct presence in markets outside of Europe.”
Luc Maesen will continue to work from his office in San Francisco, CA. The official address has changed to 1410 Franklin St #306, San Francisco, CA 94109, USA.

BERLIN, May 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atotech, a leading specialty chemicals technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating solutions, and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (“SEL”), an industry leader in the design and manufacture of digital products and systems that protect, control, and automate electric power systems, today announced that they will partner at SEL’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility under construction in Idaho, USA.
SEL will utilize Atotech’s innovative Uniplate® equipment technology in their new 162,000 square-foot facility that will serve as home for SEL’s printed circuit board manufacturing operation. The Uniplate® family of equipment is the industry standard for horizontal inline printed circuit board processes, from desmear and metallization to flash copper plating. The lines are scheduled to be commissioned in 2022.
John Hendrickson, Senior Engineering Manager at SEL, who will oversee SEL’s new operation, said: “As we start manufacturing our own printed circuit boards, we are committed to building the most modern, environmentally friendly, and safe PCB manufacturing facility in the United States. Atotech is a leader in their field and the right partner for us. Their horizontal plating technology offers an easy approach to automation with a focus on reducing chemical usage. This will help us meet our water recycling goals.”
Atotech’s significant investment into environmentally sound solutions benefits customers’ products and their production processes. These solutions reduce water, chemistry, energy, and waste generation, while reducing costs and meeting customer expectations for future PCB manufacturing.
“We are very excited to work with SEL to realize their needs in Idaho,” said Harald Ahnert, President of the Electronics segment at Atotech. “The equipment selected by SEL combines years of Atotech engineering leadership for horizontal production equipment. The Uniplate® family brings a highly automated and environmentally sound approach to PCB manufacturing.”
SEL previously announced that local in-house production of the PCB’s used in their digital products will provide the company with more freedom to experiment and innovate. It will also increase supply-chain security and yield superior product quality.
