New TerraGreen(TM) Laminates and Prepreg Materials for Multilayer PCBs are
Ideal for High-Layer Count, High-Speed Digital, Backplanes and Hybrid Designs 

CHANDLER, Ariz., 2013-09-25 15:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Isola Group S.a.r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric
prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer Printed Circuit Boards
(PCBs), announced today TerraGreen, the company's new halogen-free, ultra-low
loss, RF/microwave/high-speed material. TerraGreen is engineered for such
high-performance applications as power amplifier boards for 4G LTE base
stations, internet infrastructure and cloud computing. 

TerraGreen has a full offering of cores and prepreg utilizing spread-glass
fabric. The dielectric constant (ranging from 3.00 to 3.45) and dissipation
factor (ranging from 0.0030 to 0.0035) remain stable over a wide range of
frequencies and temperatures. Core thicknesses from 0.002' to 0.018', 0.020',
0.030' and 0.060' are available. 

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. 

Tarun Amla, Executive Vice-president and Chief Technology Officer at Isola,
stated, 'Electronics manufacturers have long-expressed the need for
halogen-free, ultra-low loss, lead-free assembly material for high-speed
digital and RF/microwave markets. Isola's investments in R&D have successfully
resolved this issue with our proprietary TerraGreen resin system.'
