TACHYON

Tachyon 100G materials exhibit exceptional electrical properties that are very stable over a broad frequency and temperature range between -55°C and +125°C up to 100 GHz. These electrical properties provide designers a scalable solution for next generation designs of backplanes and daughter cards, enabling 10x improvements from 10 Gb/s data rates. Isola has developed Tachyon 100G with the highest level of thermal performance for high layer count line cards. The very low Z-axis CTE makes it a perfect choice for fine pitch BGA applications of 0.8 mm or less. The material is optimized with the use of spread glass to mitigate skew, improve rise times, reduce jitter, and increase eye width/height and that use ultra smooth HVLP (VLP2) 2um Rz copper that significantly reduces conductor losses.
