Industry Watch: HVLP Copper Foil Generational Shift — Why HVLP4 Share Jumped 2.5× in a Single Year

While the market focuses on when NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform and CSP in-house ASICs will ramp, a generational shift in one of their key materials is quietly accelerating. According to data from ITRI's Industrial Technology Research Institute citing Fuji Chimera Research, the combined shipment share of HVLP3/4 high-end copper foil is projected to jump from 27.9% in 2025 to 45.6% in 2026. HVLP4 alone climbs from 9.3% to 23.0% — nearly a 2.5× increase in a single year. This transition, driven by AI servers and 800G/1.6T high-speed networking, is reshaping the material supply chain across CCL, PCB fabricators, and end brands.

DFM in Practice: 5 Major PCB Design Challenges — Engineering Solutions Across Signal, Power, Thermal, and Structural Reliability

As AI, IoT, and high-density interconnect applications advance in parallel, PCB engineers are forced to balance three competing axes — electrical, mechanical, and thermal — at the same time. Signals must run faster, power must be cleaner, boards must be thinner, and reliability must improve another notch. Many Taiwan R&D teams have hit the same trap: simulations pass, the prototype works, but mass production fails on signal integrity, PDN noise, or thermal stress. This article unpacks the five most common PCB design challenges from a manufacturing-side DFM perspective, along with the engineering countermeasures for each.

Engineering Essentials: 7 Principles for PCB EMI/EMC Design — Why Stackup and Return Path Decide the Outcome

As AI servers, automotive electronics, 5G/Wi-Fi 7, and edge AI become ubiquitous, EMI/EMC has shifted from a "compliance hurdle" to a determining factor for whether a product can ship in volume. A board that runs cleanly on the bench can show up at the EMC lab with a +15 dB spike at 200 MHz — and the first instinct is usually to add a shield can or absorber sheet. But the root cause is almost always buried in the stackup and routing decisions made weeks earlier. This article walks through 7 PCB EMI/EMC design principles and explains why stackup and return paths — not shielding — are what actually decide compliance.

Material Selection Deep-Dive: How to Choose Microwave PCB Materials — 6 Key Criteria and the CPW Design Logic

As 5G FR2, Wi-Fi 7, 77/79 GHz automotive radar, low-Earth-orbit satellites, and K/Ka-band satellite communications all enter active product development, microwave PCBs (1–30 GHz) and mmWave (above 30 GHz) are no longer a niche concern for RF engineers — they're an engineering reality facing most hardware and communications R&D teams in Taiwan. Yet at the spec stage, engineers often get stuck on two questions: which Rogers grade exactly? And is microstrip enough, or do we need CPW? This article walks through 6 microwave material selection criteria, the logic behind major material families, and CPW coplanar waveguide design and manufacturing considerations.

Material Selection Series: From M7 to M10 — The Selection Logic and 2026 Supply Landscape of AI Server CCL

As PCIe 7.0 enters mass-production planning and 224G SerDes becomes standard for next-generation AI server switches, Taiwan R&D engineers face more than just higher layer counts or more complex stackups — they confront a physical lower bound. In the PCIe 5.0 era, M7-grade CCL could carry signals 12 to 14 inches; with PCIe 6.0/7.0, picking the wrong substrate means signals may attenuate below the receiver threshold in under 5 inches. M7, M8, M9, and M10 are no longer just CCL marketing tiers — they are hard constraints that must be locked down at design time. This article starts from signal physics, then breaks down the differences between the four grades, the material selection decision matrix, and the 2026 supply landscape for low-Dk CCL.

Blog Current Events: From GB200 to Rubin Ultra: Why Has the Value of AI Server PCBs Sextupled in Three Years?

While the market focuses on NVIDIA GPU computing power and HBM capacity, few have noticed that the value of PCBs in an entire AI server rack has skyrocketed from approximately $25,000 in the GB200 generation to an estimated $160,000 or more in the Rubin Ultra generation. This sixfold leap in value over three years reflects a structural upgrade forced upon the entire PCB industry. This article breaks down this industry-reshaping technological revolution layer by layer, from signal physics and materials science to manufacturing limits.
