The memory module PCB (printed circuit board) can be designed by the module manufacturer; can be manufactured by the module manufacturer using the standard JDEC design; or it can be bought from another company already manufactured. Super Talent, like the majority of the memory module manufacturers, falls into the last option, buying the PCBs from Brain Power.

As you can see, the memory modules come stuck together in units called panels. After being unpacked, the memory module PCB panel goes to a machine where solder paste is applied, using a metallic stencil that has holes in the exact positions that the manufacturer wants to apply the solder paste, as you can see in Figure 3.
