TUC Breaks Ground for New Advanced Technology Center
January 7, 2018 | TUCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
George Hsin, chief strategy officer of Taiwan Union Technology Corporation (TUC) is pleased to announce that TUC broke ground for a new Advanced Technology Center adjacent to the current headquarters and manufacturing site in Hsinchu, Taiwan. TUC plans an investment of NT$1.6 billion (US$ 53.3 million) for 24,500 square meter facility for R & D as well as state of the art manufacturing. The 5th of December 2017 ceremony was attended by state and local government officials as well as the management team of TUC.
TUC plans to produce base materials for microwave, antennae, radio frequency as well as IC substrates. The added capacity is expected to produce roughly 200,000 sheets (2.5 million square feet) of copper-clad laminates per month.
TUC has just completed their new analytical laboratory complex with an investment of NT$15 million (US$500,000). The temperature- and humidity-controlled cleanrooms have been completed which include state-of-the-art test equipment. Some of the new instruments include equipment for testing up to 67 GHz for Dk and Df, a 500 volt CAF analyzer with 400 channels, DSC/TGA/DMA thermal analysis apparatus, rheometers, electronic microscopes with X-ray fluorescence, gas and liquid chromatography units, infrared analysis and microsection equipment.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
