Bill Brooks announced
the council's decision to establish a scholarship program to promote

college system. He solicited ideas for fund raising and guidelines for
the awards to be made on academic achievement.
Leslie Gomez
introduced our guest speaker and the members of Coretec who were in
attendance.
Gareth Parry spoke for
an hour on the subject of HDI and Microvias, routing strategies, costs
related to processes using imaged or laser ablated holes in
constructing via features in PCBs. He also mentioned the use of silver
epoxy in standard vias to create filled via in pad technology. He
spoke about the technology edge for trace and space features and
mentioned thermal as it relates to the Tg and Z axis expansion issues
related to filled vias.
Many layer
illustrations and via construction details were covered. All in
attendance were very interested in the subject matter and many took
notes.
We want to thank
Overland Storage for letting us use their fine facilities to hold our
meetings and for providing the drinks for our member visitors and
guests.
Thanks to all who attended for a great
meeting. Your involvement and support makes the San Diego Chapter a
valuable asset to the San Diego PCB Design community. We look forward
to seeing all of you at our next meeting!
