The High Density Packaging (HDP) User Group headquartered in the United States announces the Smooth Copper Signal Integrity project which is focused on evaluating the effects of processing smooth copper foil for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and the roughness on all sides of a trace produced when the circuits are fabricated. It will also evaluate the variation caused by etch chemistry/oxide chemistry and just as critical, the methods of roughness measurement.

Concerns over the potential release of harmful by products from electronic products containing halogenated flame retardant (HFRs) when those products are improperly disposed of, has led many of the major global computer manufacturers to begin phasing out HFRs, including bromine, chlorine and materials containing these elements, such as Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC). HDP User Group members are proactively looking for replacements for these materials in cables which are used in all electronics hardware. In the first Halogen Free Cables Project, HDP User Group completed a study that compared technical performance of HFR-free replacement materials that could be used in cable products.
