3M Scales Up Volume Production of Embedded Capacitor Material.Business Editors AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2004 The 3M Electronic Solutions Division is scaling up volume production of its 3M brand Embedded Capacitor Material at the company's high tech manufacturing facility in Cumberland, Wisc., following several successful customer qualification programs. 3M Embedded Capacitor Material, with a capacitance of 5.5 nF per square inch, allows designers and manufacturers of high speed digital printed circuit boards to achieve higher speeds while simplifying design. When used as a power-ground core in a multilayer printed circuit board, it effectively becomes a decoupling capacitor A decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple one part of an electrical network (circuit) from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit. inside the board. The material enables faster signaling, reduces power bus noise and radiated ra·di·ate v. ra·di·at·ed, ra·di·at·ing, ra·di·ates v.intr. 1. To send out rays or waves. 2.

The material is ideal for high-speed digital printed circuit boards used in telecommunications, military, computer, and automated test equipment. Bill Balliette, new business development manager, 3M Electronic Solutions, said, "Our test marketing has generated considerable customer interest. With volume production capability now available, we can support customer scale-up requirements. We're excited to offer OEMs and fabricators a way to improve signal speed and reduce noise using such a high capacitance material." 3M chose its Cumberland, Wisc., facility because of its ability to produce electronics grade quality products, using high precision, clean room coating and converting processes. Production can accommodate standard and custom panel sizes up to 18.5 inches in width. 3M Cumberland also has electronics experience producing ultrafine finishing and polishing finishing and polishing, n the removal of excess restoration material from the margins and contours of a restoration, and polishing of the restoration. films for the electronics, data storage and fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber industries.
