Ventec International Group is putting next-generation PCB materials for AI servers in the spotlight at the 2025 TPCA Show, running October 22–24 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The Taiwan-based copper-clad laminate specialist is showcasing new material innovations engineered for manufacturing printed wiring boards (PWBs) that meet the performance, reliability, and sustainability demands of modern data centers.
Why this matters for AI infrastructure
AI servers push unprecedented bandwidth, power density, and uptime requirements. That makes the choice of CCL and prepreg critical to system performance and total cost of ownership. Materials optimized for AI workloads help maintain clean high-speed signals, dissipate heat efficiently, and withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses of dense, multilayer designs and 24/7 operation.
What next-gen PCB materials typically target for AI servers
– Low-loss dielectrics for cleaner high-speed signaling and reduced insertion loss across long backplanes and complex routing
– Excellent thermal performance to manage hot spots around accelerators, high-core-count CPUs, and power delivery stages
– High glass transition temperature (Tg), robust thermal decomposition temperature (Td), and controlled z‑axis expansion for via and interconnect reliability
– Stable dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) over frequency and temperature to safeguard margin on fast interfaces
– CAF resistance and strong resin-to-copper adhesion to extend board life in humid, high-power environments
– Copper foil options with optimized roughness to lower conductor loss while maintaining peel strength
– Process-friendly lamination behavior for high layer counts, HDI structures, and repeatable press cycles
– Compatibility with mainstream surface finishes and assembly processes to streamline manufacturing
A push toward greener electronics
Alongside performance, sustainability is a growing priority for data center hardware. Material innovations often emphasize:
– Halogen-free and low-VOC formulations to reduce environmental impact
– More efficient cure profiles to cut energy use during lamination
– Extended reliability to lengthen product lifecycles and reduce waste
– Traceability and compliance with global standards to support ESG goals
Who benefits
– Server and accelerator OEMs seeking robust signal and power integrity at scale
– ODMs and EMS providers building high-layer-count, high-density interconnect boards
– Data center operators aiming for higher efficiency, reliability, and lower total cost of ownership
– PCB designers optimizing stackups for next-gen interconnects and thermal constraints
