Espoo, Finland, 7th October 2008
Imbera offers end-to-end, industrial-scale production of advanced
packaging solution with established Korean manufacturing partner
Imbera Electronics Ltd, today announced its partnership with Korean
prominent PCB manufacturer Daeduck. Daeduck is to provide a high-volume
manufacturing base for Imbera's revolutionary Integrated Module Board
(IMB) packaging. Imbera's technology offers OEMs the potential to
significantly miniaturize their PCBs. Through this joint venture Imbera is
now able to offer its customers a simple, cost-effective and complete
end-to-end packaging solution, while meeting demands for volume
production.
Imbera’s partnership with Daeduck supports a full range of turnkey
manufacturing services. It will also offer design services to help
customers optimize system design.
Daeduck is one of the world’s top PCB manufacturers, and was selected by
Imbera due to its long-established reputation in the PCB world. The
company has operated for 36 years and has partnered with some of the
largest companies in the market. Daeduck is particularly well-known for
its ability to maintain a consistently high quality output when
manufacturing in volumes, as well as an aggressive technology roadmap.
Following this announcement Imbera and Daeduck will begin their initial
work together on several customer projects.
“We're very proud to be partnering with a company such as Daeduck," said
Jeff Baloun, CEO of Imbera. "Daeduck is a well-known company with a
prestigious reputation. The key criteria that Imbera considered when
deciding with whom to forge its long-term partnership were quality,
technology and capacity. During its many years of operation Daeduck has
demonstrated an ability to produce high numbers of consistently
top-quality boards. This partnership means that Imbera is now in a
position to offer a full service-offering to its customers; walking them
right through the process from design of the PCB to manufacture."
Mr. T.S. Seo at Daeduck comments: "So many companies these days are
looking for ways to make products smaller. It's a fact of life that the
component real-estate, particularly in mobile devices, is becoming
more-and-more valuable. In putting multiple components within the layers
of the PCB, OEMs can choose to use a smaller PCB, or to fit more
components with the same space. Greater component density means that OEMs
have better opportunities to differentiate their products in a
cost-effective manner. This really is the next stage of PCB evolution, and
we're delighted that Imbera has put their confidence in our abilities to
realise it."
Due to its novel and advanced manufacturing process, IMB technology can be
used to embed components inside a module substrate and manufacture a
typical multi-chip-module / System-In-Package (SIP) product. Alternatively
IMB technology can be used to embed the components inside a motherboard to
manufacture a System-In-Board (SIB) product. The technology can be
utilized in various applications from simple products with only a few
components to demanding products, such as mobile phones and other portable
products requiring high packaging density as well as good electrical and
thermal performance.
About Imbera
Imbera Electronics is the developer the novel patented IMB - Integrated
Module Board – technology, which enables the integration of both active
and passive components inside an organic printed circuit board structure.
The key advantages of the IMB technology are further product
miniaturization and improved electrical performance as well as competitive
total manufacturing cost level. Also, the IMB technology can be combined
with existing PCB production processes without extensive development work,
which enables fast technology ramp-up and high production quality.
