April, 2012 Isola: New Materials for PCBs


Chandler, AZ — New from Isola Group S.a.r.l. is I-Speed™ the com- pany’s next generation, lead-free compatible, low-loss (Df 0.0065), laminate, and part of its UL family of high-speed digital products (IS415, FR408 and FR408HR), making it easier to qualify by fabricators and OEMs.


I-Speed offers both thermal and


electrical improvements over com- petitive products. It has a Tg of 180°C by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a Td of 356°C. In three separate signal integrity tests, it delivered a 15 percent reduc- tion in Z-axis expansion and demon- strated a 25 percent improvement in dielectric loss over competitive mate-


rials. These attributes make it an excellent product for OEMs who require higher reliability and band- width for increasingly difficult designs. In elevated temperature test-


ing, I-Speed demonstrated the ability to withstand 260°C as received (i.e. without conditioning) and after pro- longed exposure to high humidity and temperature. Testing was per- formed on thick, very high layer- count boards with an extremely tight pitch.


Another new product, I-Tera™ is


the company’s next generation, very low-loss material with a Df of 0.0035. I-Tera was designed for multilayer cir- cuit boards including large format,


high layer-count backplanes, high- speed digital, hybrid and RF/micro - wave designs. The electrical proper- ties are lower than competitive prod- ucts and consistent over temperature. I-Tera has a Tg of 200°C and a Td of 360°C. It offers processing advantages over competitive products in multilay- er lamination, extended drill tool life and desmear processes that do not depend on the use of plasma. I-Tera will be available globally with stan- dard core constructions and prepregs. 185HR is the company’s next-


generation, high reliability, lead-free compatible, standard loss product. It is an electrically enhanced resin sys- tem that meets the OEM’s need for designs with high layer counts, high-

er bandwidths and where convention- al phenolic-cured laminates do not offer the electrical properties required for the desired signal integrity. 185HR has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) greater than 170°C, a decomposition temperature (Td) of 340°C and delivers a reduction in Z- axis expansion as well as a 30 percent improvement in dielectric loss proper- ties, placing it in the same category as Isola’s conventional High-Tg FR4 family. Auto-HR is a proprietary, high-performance resin system with a Tg greater than 170°C for multilayer printed wiring board (PWB) applica- tions where maximum thermal per- formance and reliability are required. It is available in 0.014, 0.028, 0.035 and 0.042-in. (0.3556, 0.711, 0.889, and 1.066mm) thicknesses. Auto-HR will be available to the Asia-Pacific and European markets focused on these constructions to provide superi-


or performance at a competitive cost. Contact: Isola Group S.a.r.l.
