Multilayer pcb manufacturing process

1. Multilayer pcb design

Multilayer pcb design is completed first according to the customer’s needs. PCB design includes the materials used in the multilayer pcb manufacturing process, pcb thickness, etc. We generally use a laser to image the panel directly.

2. Optical inspection

The optical system checks the quality problems of each pcb layer by comparing the actual image on the panel with the PCB design data. Can detect Faults in any layer in time.

3. OXIDE

Oxidation treatment of the inner layers of a multilayer PCB before lamination. It prevents separation between multilayer boards by increasing the roughness of the copper cladding.

4. Lamination

A hydraulic press is used to press the conductive core and glass fiber board together under high pressure and temperature. The lamination time is related to a variety of factors, which we have to consider depending on the material, thickness, etc.

5. Drilling

We need to drill holes in the pcb to facilitate the connection of components and the layers of the board. We are Using advanced multilayer pcb manufacturing machines, will submit the drilling data, and the drillers will find the exact size and location of the holes. The engine automatically detects the tool diameter and the hole slot after drilling. The machine can automatically detect the hole diameter and the hole slot after drilling, which can prevent the hole slot from being skewed or missed and ensure the accuracy of drilling.

6. Immersion of copper plating

In fully automatic copper plating equipment, hole copper and surface copper thickness are much higher than the industry standard.

7. Stripping and etching

After the plating on the panel is completed, we need to remove the residual resist and copper by the SES process. As well as ensuring that the circuit board meets the standard accuracy and quality.

8. Surface treatment

Different surface treatments are chosen according to other materials. The common one is HASL.

9. Electrical testing

After completing the multilayer pcb fabrication, the board is tested electrically with a tester.

We support 4-60 layers multilayer pcb fabrication.

All of these PCBs are good choices. How you decide to go with a multilayer or single-layer structure depends on what type of product you need to produce. Essentially, if you want to produce complex devices that are small, lightweight, and require high quality, a multilayer PCB may be your best choice. However, if size and weight are not important factors in your product design, a Single or Double Sided PCB design may be more cost effective.

Lighter weight:

Integrating components in a multilayer PCB means less need for connectors and other details, which can provide a lightweight solution for applications. Its can accomplish the same amount of work as multiple single-layer PCBs but smaller. This is because multilayer pcb fabrication require fewer connected components, which reduces weight. This is an essential consideration for smaller electronics where weight is a concern.

Higher assembly density.

Multilayer pcb fabrication allows greater functionality, capacity, and speed with increased thickness.

Smaller size:

In general, a single-layer pcb has a little more area. Because it must increase the surface area of the circuit by increasing its size, it is better suited for use in devices with large volumes and few functions.

Enhanced design features:

Overall, multilayer PCBs outperform typical single-layer PCBs. More controlled impedance characteristics can achieve more substantial EMI shielding and improve overall design quality.

Multilayer boards have emerged with the development of the electronics industry. Because there is some advanced equipment, single-sided or double-sided PCB can not meet. Multilayer boards is lighter, smaller, and features higher operation speed than traditional printed circuit boards. All the advantages make them appropriate to be used in high-end electronic equipment like handheld devices, test equipment, heart monitors, etc.

And the preference for multilayer circuit board is still largely dependent on industry trends. Electronics continue to move toward versatility and are small, thin, and lightweight. So single and double sided PCBs can no longer meet the changing needs. And their ability to balance size and functionality has proven limited, but multilayer PCBs offer a comprehensive solution.

While there are several drawbacks to using multilayer boards, such as increased cost, design time, and production investment, these costs are increasingly accepted in today’s world. Functionality is largely favored over price, and people are willing to pay more for high-capacity electronics. In addition, as technology becomes more mainstream, production techniques and machines will eventually become cheaper, especially as new technologies enter the industry.

Multilayer PCBs feature three or more layers of conductive copper foil buried in several layers. It is laminated and glued between each layer with a thermally protective insulating layer. It finally appears as a double-sided circuit board with several layers. Multilayer boards have various through-holes for all electrical connections. These types of vias include blind and buried vias and plated vias. This is the simple definition of multilayer boards.

Compared with single-sided or double-sided PCBs, multilayer boards have higher assembly density, flexibility.

Advantages:

High efficiency: Its enable more advanced design, manufacturing, and assembly techniques. So their inherent electrical characteristics allow them to achieve greater capacity and speed.

High Durability: Its use multiple layers of insulation between circuit layers. They are bonded together using prepreg adhesives and protective materials, making them more durable than standard PCBs.

Smaller size and lighter weight: Its use stacking and lamination techniques, resulting in smaller and lighter weight boards. This is one of its most prominent and highly acclaimed benefits.

Single connection point: Its use a single connection point that can be designed to work together on a board. This particular design simplifies the complex design of electronic devices and reduces size and weight.

Disadvantage:

High cost: Making a multilayer board is much higher than that of a regular pcb. Because multilayer pcb manufacturing machines are very expensive, it is still a relatively new technology.

Narrow application range: Multilayer pcb fabrication requires specialized multilayer pcb manufacturing machines, which not all multilayer pcb suppliers have the funds or need.

Long production time: Each board of a multilayer pcb fabrication requires a lot of time, which leads to more labor costs.
