SUMMARY:PCB Technology seminar and factory visit 2026
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is for all who need a basic knowledge of Printed Circuit Board technology\, specifically managers and engineers involved in design\, industrialization\, qualification\, purchasing\, quality control of electronics.This seminar provides basic insight in the technology and production processes of a key part of all electronics: the Printed Circuit Board that connects the electronic components in an electronic assembly. To understand the relationship between cost\, quality and reliability of electronics\, a basic understanding of the capabilities and the limitations of the PCB technology as well as the factors that drive cost and quality is a great help. This seminar provides a basic step towards this understanding.This seminar is complementary to the PBA Technology seminar. \n\n\n\nAGENDA \n\n\n\nWelcome13h00 – Start 13h15Welcome at ACB by Marnix Van De Slyeke (ACB)PCB technology basics by Marnix Van De Slyeke (ACB)Introduction to PCB manufacturing technology discussing the basic materials and PCB manufacturing processes:lithography\, etching\, lamination\, drilling\, plating\, solder mask deposition\, finishing\, inspection.

SUMMARY:KULeuven micro-credential Design of PCB and PBA - October-November 2026
DESCRIPTION:FC3 Flanders Chips Competence Center is launching a new micro-credential in chip design: Design of Printed Circuit Boards and Printed Board Assembly.This micro-credential is taught by experts from leading companies and research institutions in the chip industry and electronic design. You’ll explore the design and fabrication of PCBs and printed board assembly\, with a strong focus on Reliability\, Signal Integrity\, Power Integrity\, EMC and EMI.The program combines both theory and hands-on lab sessions where you perform your own measurements. On top\, several company visits are included!The course runs over six full days spread across October and November 2026 and will be organized in person in Leuven. \n\n\n\nFor more information and registration got to: C5: Design of Printed Circuit Boards and Printed Board Assembly — Micro-credentials chip layout\, development and design.

SUMMARY:Electronic Assembly Technology seminar and factory visit Page Electronica - 2026
DESCRIPTION:For all who need a basic knowledge of electronic assembly technology and processes\, specifically managers and engineers involved in the design\, industrialisation and purchasing of electronics\, and product and quality engineers dealing with electronics.This seminar provides basic insight in the technology and production processes of the basic building block of electronic systems: the Printed (Circuit) Board Assembly (PBA). To understand the relationship between cost\, quality and reliability of electronics\, a basic understanding of the capabilities and the limitations of the PBA technology as well as the factors that drive cost and quality is a great help. This seminar provides a basic step towards this understanding by providing an introductory presentation discussing electronic assembly technology and processes followed by a visit to the electronics assembly plant of Page Electronica.This seminar is complementary to the PCB Technology and the PBA Reliability seminars and factory visits organized by the EDM Forum. \n\n\n\nAGENDA \n\n\n\n13h00  Registration13h20  Welcome by Luc Page13h30  Introduction to electronic assembly technology and processes – Geert Willems (imec – EDM forum)The basics of electronic assembly technology and processes are explained with focus on leadfree soldering. The session gives insight in the possibilities and boundary conditions of electronic assembly and provides the basics for cost-effective Design-for-Assembly.14h45  Factory tour16h30  Closing Q&A session. \n\n\n\nParticipation fee:Members and Page invitees: free of chargeNon-member: EUR 150 \n\n\n\nimec employees: please register at imec academy. \n\n\n\nPage electronica offers a shuttle service between Poperinge railway station and its factory.
