Copper Traces

The copper traces on your PCB are easily the most important part of the design so it is important to understand what they’re doing and what limitations you should consider.
As I mentioned earlier, copper traces are created by removing copper from the solid sheet that sits on top of the base material.
This means that the traces on your board are in fact just thin layers of copper. I don’t know about you, but when I discovered that it came as a bit of a surprise (relax I didn’t just find this out). For the longest time I assumed that PCBs were manufactured by pouring copper into a mold, letting it cool, and then somehow melting an insulator around the copper.
The thin sheet nature of these traces mean that there are some constraints to consider when routing your traces, most importantly, size considerations. All of these nuances will be discussed in detail in part 2.

Following will be continued in next chapter.

Fr-4 material

FR-4 is a flame retardant material level code, represent the meaning of the resin material undergoes combustion state must be able to extinguish a material specification, it is not a material name, but a material level, so the current general circuit boards used in FR-4 grade materials have a lot of types, but most are based on a so-called four-function (Tera-Function) of an epoxy resin with filler (Filler) and glass fibers made ​​of composite materials. FR4 substrate portion, the most widely used family on a printed circuit board substrate is a glass fiber epoxy laminate. FR4 substrate is a standard part of most of the material has a higher number (such as some portion of FR4 substrate FR4 substrate 06, 08) has a higher temperature coefficient and a low dielectric constant. Part FR4 substrate with a starting Tg 140 ° C, Tg FR4 substrate 06 parts of 170 degrees, and when you move up the family, the temperature increases.

PCB technology situation test

Enter the twenty-first century, with foreign PCB apocalyptic, our country enterprise having the PCB industry has a vigorous development. The introduction of advanced technology, the emergence of the high-end product, make our country of PCB both quantity and quality, all have the unprecedented development. At present, our country mainly concentrated in the PCB detection safety certification testing and product quality appraisal two aspects. Safe authentication with mandatory, market access is necessary condition; Quality appraisal is the customer in the performance of recognition. Just IEC standard (GB) is concerned, quality appraisal of project is commonly: visual inspection, size inspection, electrical test, mechanical test, coating inspection, solderability, solvent resistance and flux sex, conductor resistance to current and voltage, frequency drift, etc.

Actually PCB repair and inspection flow is like the following:

Step 1: Ask customer about the appearance when the PCB is broken down.
Step 2: Analyze the reason of breakdown according to customer description;
Step 3: Dissemble device and clean it thoroughly; confirm the components being damaged and then assess the feasibility of can-be REPAIR;
Step 4: Analyze the circuit schematic diagram according to the location of damaged components, find out the root cause of components being damaged and prevent similar situations happen again;
Step 5: ask for customer’s permission to replace the components, get collect comment from customer, starts to repair after receipt of customer confirmation on quote;
Step 6: Repair service include eliminate the existing problems and faults, replace damaged components, clean the entire device thoroughly and required maintenance;
Step 7: Instruct SIMULATIVE LOAD TEST after repairing process finish, once pass the test will send to customer for further on-site testing.

In these requirements, PCB manufacturer and its inside customer special concern is visual inspection, the structural integrity, cleanness and environmental testing, special requirements, etc, among which the structural integrity, cleanness and electrical test is double, multilayer PCB manufacturer and high density interconnection, its customers the focus of attention. Because the structural integrity is in hot after test, check the gravity of the PCB coating integrity, integrity, laminated coating empty, laminated crack, concave erosion, to drill corrupt, erosion, Kong Huan lining negative concave, connecting dish become warped, coating thickness, minimum/inner copper foil thickness, minimum surface layer thickness, metal core wire, medium thickness, blind holes or buried via resin plug hole, crucify top project, make the PCB”s internal situation be clear at a glance, also be the quality control of the key.

The examination ability, PCB abroad in the United States and Japan is the highest. The United States has led to MICROTEK three professional inspection agencies, not only with a complete testing method, and the analysis of the technology of powerful capability, and like the MOTOROLA such large companies have the complete examination method.

In contrast, China PCB testing technology to weak some. So, how to change this situation? First should improve our country the PCB”s technical content, forced detection technology keep up with the product development. Second, speed up the revision of the standard, increase the PCB project detection technology, raise the threshold. Again, to increase the investment of PCB detection industry, the introduction of advanced equipment, perfect testing means, improve the level of testing. Fourth, increase the detection technology exchange, found and perfect the new testing technology.

How to copy a printed circuit board

   How to copy printed circuit boards, demolition device original board. Original plate scanning, graphics files. The surface layer is rubbed off, to give the intermediate layers. The middle layer scanning, graphics files. Complete until all layers are processed. Use special software to convert graphics files dossier --- PCB electrical diagram. If you have the right software, graphic designers simply describe it again. Check the check, complete the design. PCB board profile control system, especially multi-layer PCB board profile control system is a very time-consuming work also spent force, many of which are repetitive labor, which requires us to have enough patience and careful to ensure that no mistakes, of course, We can also use the right software agents repetitive manual work, so you can save time and effort to achieve the effect.

Profile system process must use the scanner.
   Many designers used to draw lines directly on the PROTEL, PADSOR or CAD and other PCB design system. This is a very bad habit. Graphics files scanned both convert PCB file basis, but is based on late check in. Using a scanner can greatly reduce the difficulty and intensity of labor. It is no exaggeration to say that if you can make full use of the scanner, even without experience in the design to PCB board staff can complete profile system work.

   Single direction grinding plate. But not to the so-called two-way grinding plate efficiency, because two-way grinding plate worn very easily, leading to other layers were varying degrees of damage. The outer than the inner layer of the PCB hard, so vulnerable to damage caused by the inner layer can not be polished, as well as each manufacturer produces the PCB due to the different material, hardness, elasticity, difficult to accurately rubbed off.

Surface Finish——Immersion silver

    There’re different surface finishes for PCB boards, including immersion silver, immersion gold, OSP, HASL and so on. Here I would like to introduce the surface finish—immersion silver. Sterling immersion silver is an immersion process for plating a silver deposit on copper, designed to be used as a final finish for printed circuit boards. Immersion silver is quickly becoming the surface finish of choice for PCB fabricators, assemblers and end-users. Immersion silver finish can offer outstanding solder ability, contact functionality, aluminum wire-bonding, solder-joint strength, and is a drop-in replacement for HASL. Some PCB boards may apply both HASL finish and immersion silver finish. The apparent difference between HASL and immersion silver is the color of immersion silver is more matte than HASL. Also, immersion silver can be touched more flushed than HASL.
Features& benefits:
Features:                                  Benefits:
High stability                               Long solution life
Uniform bright deposit                       Improved cosmetics
Wide operating window                      Process control simplicity
Replenished                                Reduced make-up costs   
Using the immersion method of metal deposition, sterling silver is deposited on printed circuit boards as the surface finish. Immersion deposition is also employed in the process of the deposition of gold in the process of ENIG. As the widespread use of immersion silver, a main problem may occur in the PCB fabricating. We called it SMIA (Solder Mask Interface Attack). Silver is deposited to a thickness of 6-18microinches, with a proportional copper dissolution. In some extreme cases, the copper is excessively attacked at the solder mask and copper interface, particularly on conductor traces. That’s what we called just now SMIA. SMIA is a problem which will cause a reduction in conductor width; negatively will affect controlled impedance and extremely will cause open circuits. So when making the immersion silver finish, we should control the volume of chemical material and control the technique.
   Solder Mask Interface Attack (SMIA) can pose a problem to the PCB manufacturer. However, several options for minimizing and eliminating the phenomenon are readily available and easy to implement. To improve the solder mask profile and its adhesion to copper is the most effective avenue in resolving the SMIA. Improving the solder mask side wall profile prevents corrosive chemistry from being entrapped under the solder mask and excessively corroding the underlying copper. Solder mask process parameters are the most successful avenue to investigate and optimize for elimination of SMIA. So having a good command of the solutions for SMIA can commendably avoid the problem.

Oversea PCB assembly service

Regardless of how large, small, old, or new a business is, every company is faced with some problems along the way. When it comes to certain issues like a lack of time and resources, many businesses make the decision to overcome their difficulties by outsourcing some of their work. This is especially true of electronics companies. In order for your business to focus on research, marketing, and sales, you may need to take advantage of the design and assembly solutions offered by a reputable contract manufacturer. Doing so can improve efficiency, speed up production times, and minimize your costs, all while allowing you to provide a stellar product to your customers. For you to be able to enjoy these benefits, though, you need to know what you should expect from your contract manufacturing service. Here's a breakdown of what you should look for:
In order to have all of your needs met, you need to take the time to find an outsource company that's able to provide multiple solutions. Some businesses may only offer design help, while others focus strictly on manufacture. It's simpler and more efficient to work with a business that handles both, and will continue to support you with board repair after the PCBs have been produced. This ensures that you will be taken care of from the very start to the very end of each project.
Does your business have a niche client base or very specific, industry-related requirements for your board design and production? If so, it's in your best interest to find a contract manufacturer that is familiar with your particular market space and can offer expertise and proficiency in those areas.
This one is a biggie. In order for you to provide electronics devices that are efficient, effective, and safe for customer use, your contract manufacturing service absolutely must adhere to industry regulations and standards. Keep in mind that many foreign-based services do not follow the same standards that we do in the United States, and therefore may generate a board that does not comply. Furthermore, the use of counterfeit parts could not only prevent the board from functioning properly, but could also reduce the safety of the finished product. For best results, it's smart to narrow your search for design and assembly solutions to companies that operate in the U.S. and that have a solid reputation for acting with professionalism and integrity.
Without advanced design and assembly equipment that is well-maintained and cared for, how can you possibly expect for your boards to be up to par? Don't hesitate to ask about upkeep routines.
To make your customers happy and to keep your business up and running, you need to know that your contract design and manufacturing service will be able to work quickly to fulfill your needs. While you want design specs and product assembly to occur in a timely manner, though, you don't want to compromise accuracy. Your outsource company should work like a well-oiled machine, with the experience, skill, and ability to work speedily and without mistakes.
Will your contracted service provider leave you high and dry after the order has been fulfilled? Some electronics companies have learned the hard way that there are businesses out there who will keep the original designs to themselves, preventing internal troubleshooting or repairs on boards. The best outsource vendors will continue to work with you after production, offering complete fulfillment services. Seek out a company that has a repair-and-return depot. Troubleshooting and correcting minor PCB issues is far more cost-efficient than simply being required to fully replace the board.
Get the design and assembly solutions that you need to thrive today. By knowing what you should expect from a contract service, you can confidently develop a strong partnership with your outsource company and become a better, more successful business.
