Products

FR408HR laminate and prepreg products are manufactured with Isola’s patented high performance multifunctional resin system, reinforced with electrical grade (E-glass) glass fabric. This system delivers a 30% improvement in Z-axis expansion and offers 25% more electrical bandwidth (lower loss) than competitive products in this space. These properties coupled with superior moisture resistance at reflow, result in a product that bridges the gap from both a thermal and electrical perspective. The FR408HR system is also laser fluorescing and UV blocking for maximum compatibility with Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, optical positioning systems and photo-imageable solder mask imaging.

TerraGreen® is engineered for such high-performance applications as power amplifier boards for LTE base stations, internet infrastructure and cloud computing. TerraGreen ® features a Dielectric Constant (Dk) that is stable between -55°C and 125°C, up to 20 GHz. TerraGreen® is a lead-free assembly material and is easy to process. This high-performance material utilizes a short-lamination cycle; the product is easy to drill, does not require plasma desmear, and the prepreg shelf life is similar to FR-4 materials. TerraGreen® is suitable for high-layer count, high-speed digital backplanes and is compatible with Isola’s FR-4 materials for hybrid designs. TerraGreen® meets UL 94 V-0 and is halogen free.

I-Speed® laminate and prepreg products are manufactured with Isolas' patentable high performance multi-functional resin system, reinforced with electrical grade (E-glass) glass fabric. This system delivers a 15% improvement in Z-axis expansion and offers 25% more electrical bandwidth (lower loss) than competitive products in this space. These properties coupled with superior moisture resistance at reflow, result in a product that bridges the gap from both a thermal and electrical perspective. The I-Speed® resin system is laser fluorescing and UV blocking for maximum compatibility with Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, optical positioning systems and photo imageable solder mask imaging.

P25N consist of a polyimide resin system suitable for military, commercial or industrial electronic applications requiring superior performance and the utmost in thermal properties. These products utilize a polyimide and thermoplastic blend resin, fully cured without the use of Methylenedianiline (MDA). This results in a polymer with a high Tg without the characteristic difficulties of brittleness and low initial bond strength associated with traditional thermoset polyimides.

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.

FR408 low dielectric constant (Dk) and low dissipation factor (Df) make it an ideal candidate for broadband circuit designs requiring faster signal speeds or improved signal integrity. FR408 is compatible with most FR-4 processes. This feature allows the use of FR408 without adding complexity to current fabrication techniques.

IS415 is engineered to meet the demands of Lead (Pb) free multilayer printed circuit assembly, deliver CAF resistance with strong IST results and maintain FR-4 processing. IS415 offers good electrical performance, superior chemical and thermal performance and product consistency.

Isola’s IS410 has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 180°C and is specially formulated for superior performance through multiple thermal excursions, passing 6X solder tests at 288°C. IS410 is optimized for enhanced drilling performance allowing high aspect ratio holes of ≤10 mils. Its unique resin chemistry provides CAF resistance with the benefit of long-term reliability of boards built with small feature designs.
