Procedures in comparison
A good question and a new aspect would be to find out which kind of importance the ratio of specialized skills, benefits and differentiations influence the procedure decision finally. But who is able to give a reliable answer?
It is an objective fact that semiconductor manufacturers and PCB manufacturers have opposite interests, and their efforts to reach a continuous and profitable collaboration are not always recompensed. Hence the purchase quantity and the volume of the annual turnover may play a significant role to start an adequate discussion.
There are different approaches to integrate well-tried technologies and new consistent strategies in the Re-Design process. However what about its feasibility in such an innovative and fast moving segment?
Finally, technology, competence and availability will determine the choice of the procedure whereas efficiency and quality will definitely remain the basic conditions.
