PCB Fabrication process and technology
The process of printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication is a meticulous journey from initial design to physical realization, essential for ensuring the integrity and functionality of electronic devices. TechnoTronix, a distinguished leader in PCB fabrication with extensive expertise, adheres to a meticulous process to transform circuit board designs into durable physical structures that consistently meet stringent specifications and industry standards.
The printed circuit board fabrication process commences with the design package, usually provided in Gerber file format, serving as the foundational blueprint for manufacturing.
Below is a comprehensive overview of the ensuing steps involved in this intricate process:
- Design Package Transformation: Circuit board designs are translated into physical structures based on precise specifications outlined in the design package.
- Image Transfer: Utilizing advanced techniques such as photo tooling and direct imaging, the circuit board designs are transferred onto the board's surface. Each layer undergoes laser printing individually to ensure accuracy and alignment.
- Multilayer Construction: Multilayer PCBs are composed of multiple layers of dielectric material and metal conductors. These layers must be meticulously controlled for copper weight, width, and alignment to achieve the desired final product.
- Inner Layer Circuit Imaging: Inner layer circuit images are created using photoresist exposure, either through UV light or direct laser imaging. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems are employed to detect and rectify any defects in the core layers.
- Layer Bonding: Each layer pair is sandwiched with "prepreg" material to facilitate bonding during the lamination process. Proper alignment is crucial to ensure uniformity and integrity across all layers.
- Lamination Process: The layers are laminated together under heat and pressure, fusing them into a single, solid PCB structure.
- Drilling: Holes are drilled into the PCB for component mounting, through-hole vias, and non-plated holes for mechanical features. Special considerations are made for buried, blind vias, or microvias, which are fabricated prior to lamination.
- Solder Mask and Surface Finish: A solder mask is applied to protect the PCB surface, followed by surface finish applications to enhance durability and facilitate soldering during assembly.
- Final Testing: Before assembly, finalized PCBs undergo rigorous testing using techniques such as flying probe or bed of nails test fixtures. This ensures that each board meets quality standards and operational requirements.
