Gareth Parry, BSc., P.Eng., F.A.E.

Co-Director of Field Application Engineering at Coretec. Gareth is a Professional Engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He has over 20 years experience in the printed circuit industry.

 

Bill Brooks announced the council's decision to establish a scholarship program to promote student's who wish to take PCB design related courses through the 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!
