    S4E28 Kevin Distelhurst | Semiconductors – What They Are & How They’re Manufactured

    Kevin Distelhurst, a failure analysis engineer with a career in semiconductor manufacturing, explains the physics and fabrication of chips, detailing the transition from silicon devices to copper interconnects and the role of photolithography. He discusses the extreme precision required in cleanrooms, the use of scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM) for defect analysis, and the industry's shift towards integrating diverse components like wireless chips onto single packages as Moore's Law slows. Distelhurst also shares insights on the collaborative nature of chip design, the significant slowdowns caused by tool downtime and human error, and the challenges of training new engineers who must develop 'wisdom' through practice.

    Tom Anderson, an engineer at Keysight Technologies, discusses the practical realities of embedded hardware for new college graduates, focusing on the nuances of floating I/O pins, tri-state outputs, and latch-up failure modes. He explains the behavior of inductors in switching power supplies and relays, the importance of pull-up/pull-down resistors, and the differences between ADC types, sampling rates, and bandwidth. Anderson advocates for learning from vintage technical literature, such as TubeBooks.org and 'The Art of Electronics,' and shares his methodology for analog circuit design using symbolic algebra and system-level constraints.

    How Automation And Flying Probe Are Redrawing ICT Strategy with Seica's Luca Corli

    Luca Corli of Seica discusses the launch of the Valid SL, an inline in-circuit tester designed for large, thick boards with over 4,000 pins, and the Valid LR, which allows the reuse of legacy bed-of-nails fixtures from multiple vendors. Corli explains the strategic balance between flying probe testers, favored for rapid product changes and short runs, and ICT, which remains essential for high-pin-count, heavy, or large-format boards. The conversation highlights how integrating these methods with boundary scan and functional testing optimizes throughput and coverage. Finally, Corli notes market shifts, with automotive softness in Europe contrasted by strong growth in India and Southeast Asia.

    Breaking Down Electronics Manufacturing with Jay Patel

    Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech, an EMS provider in Michigan, discusses the transition from prototyping to volume production, emphasizing the critical role of supply chain risk analysis and the shift of component manufacturers like Texas Instruments selling directly to OEMs. He highlights Amtech's use of vapor phase reflow and AI-based inspection to ensure quality in high-mix, mid-volume production, while explaining how Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) rules help reduce costs and defects. Patel also addresses the industry's lack of standardized data formats, advocating for the adoption of IPC-2581 to streamline communication between designers, EMS providers, and PCB fabricators.
