CHANDLER, AZ -- Isola today announced a major qualification win in partnership with KSG Leiterplatten and InnoSenT.

The joint conversion project among the three companies successfully tailored the dielectric properties of Isola's I-Tera MT laminate material to match the properties of an incumbent product. Isola's dielectric substrates will now be used on existing volume products produced by InnoSenT, and the printed circuit boards will be manufactured by KSG.

The conversion to Isola's materials provides InnoSenT with higher performance material without modifying the metallization of the PCB. According to Isola, test results showed I-Tera MT delivered a lower insertion loss, thereby increasing the safety margin of the system design.

Isola used a suite of electronic design automation tools in the conversion initiative with InnoSenT and KSG, including simulation models of the critical test structures used to characterize the properties of PCBs. These simulations and analyses were able to target the required dielectric constant of the Isola material. Isola's R&D team was then able to engineer the dielectric properties of the material to match the desired Dk at the operating frequency.
