Near-Zero-CTE Dielectric Targets 224 Gb/S AI Links
Advanced Chip and Circuit Materials, Inc. introduced two new PCB dielectric materials, Celeritas HM50 and HM001, targeting AI and high‑speed digital designs. HM50 features a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (‑8 ppm/°C) while HM001 is engineered to be near‑zero CTE, both supporting signal layers up to 224 Gb/s. Finite‑element simulations show HM50 can cut board warpage by 64%, reduce package bow by 81%, and boost solder‑fatigue life more than 100‑fold compared with conventional PCBs. The materials also offer low dielectric loss, with Dk values of 3.55 and 2.90 respectively.
