    Oct 20,2023

        In recent years, people have increasingly attached importance to environmental protection, so while demanding steady economic development, there are also more requirements for environmental protection construction. Building an "environmentally friendly" society has increasingly become an urgent need for people. The country has also increased its efforts to regulate environmental protection to meet the needs of the times. In 2017, China comprehensively strengthened environmental emission restrictions and conducted inspections on the manufacturing industry, forcing nearly a hundred enterprises to suspend trading for rectification. In 2018, the implementation of the "Environmental Protection Tax" resulted in an increase in environmental protection costs for PCB manufacturers.  After a round of rectification, some PCB manufacturers who could not meet environmental requirements were forced to withdraw from the market, and those fortunate enough to survive also had higher requirements fo

    Near hole issues that must be noted for multi-layer circuit boards

    Oct 19,2023

        If two holes are too close during drilling operation, it will affect the efficiency of PCB drilling process. Due to the fact that after drilling the first hole, the material in one direction is too thin when drilling the second hole, resulting in uneven stress on the drilling nozzle and uneven heat dissipation of the drilling nozzle, leading to the breakage of the drilling nozzle, resulting in unsightly PCB hole collapse or incomplete drilling.  2. In PC multilayer boards, vias have hole rings on each layer of the circuit, and the environment around each layer of the hole ring varies, with and without wire clips. When optimizing files in PCB factory CAM engineers, they will cut off a portion of the hole ring in cases where the clamping wire is too close or the hole is too close to the hole, to ensure a safe distance of 3mil between the welding ring and different network copper/wire.  3.

        The first level is relatively simple, and the process and process are easy to control.  The second order problem starts to get troublesome, one is the alignment problem, and the other is the punching and copper plating problem. There are various second-order designs, one of which is to stagger the positions of each stage and connect the secondary layers through wires in the middle layer, which is equivalent to two first-order HDIs.  The second method is to overlap two first order holes and achieve second order through superposition. The processing is also similar to two first order holes, but there are many process points that need to be specially controlled, which is mentioned above.  The third method is to directly drill holes from the outer layer to the third layer (or N-2 layer), with many different processes and greater difficulty in drilling.

    Introduction to HDI board

    Oct 19,2023

        HDI board (High Density Interconnector), also known as high-density interconnect board, is a circuit board that uses micro blind buried hole technology and has a relatively high line distribution density. The HDI board has both inner and outer circuits, which are connected internally by drilling and metallization processes.  HDI boards are generally manufactured using the stacking method, and the more times they are stacked, the higher the technical level of the board. Ordinary HDI boards are basically stacked once, while higher-order HDI uses two or more layers of technology, as well as advanced PCB technologies such as hole stacking, electroplating filling, and laser direct drilling.  When the density of PCBs increases beyond eight layers, manufacturing with HDI will result in lower costs compared to traditional complex pressing processes. HDI boards are conducive to the use of advanced assembly technology, and their electrical performance and signal accuracy are higher than trad

    Why are there bubbles generated during PCB solder resistance? How to prevent it?

    Oct 18,2023

        Answer: (1) Solder resist oil is generally composed of a mixture of the main agent, curing agent, and diluent of the ink. During the mixing and stirring of the ink, there will be some air left in the liquid. When the ink is squeezed by a scraper or screen, it flows onto the board surface. In a short period of time, when it encounters strong light or equivalent temperature, the gas inside the ink will flow rapidly with the accelerated flow of the ink, and evaporate outward. (2) The spacing between the lines is too narrow, and the lines are too high. During screen printing, the solder mask ink cannot print onto the substrate, resulting in the presence of air or moisture between the solder mask ink and the substrate. During curing and exposure, the gas expands and causes bubbles due to heat. (3) Single lines are mainly caused by high lines. When the scraper contacts the line, the angle between the scraper and the line increases, making the solder mask ink unable to print to the bottom

    PCB Signal Integrity Solution

    Oct 18,2023

        The signal integrity problem is not caused by a single factor, but by multiple factors in board level design. The main signal integrity problems include reflection, ringing, ground bounce, crosstalk, etc. The following mainly introduces the solutions to crosstalk and reflection.  Cross talk refers to the unwanted voltage noise interference caused by electromagnetic coupling on adjacent transmission lines when a signal propagates on the transmission line. Excessive crosstalk may cause false triggering of the circuit, resulting in the system not functioning properly.  Due to the inverse ratio between crosstalk and line spacing, it is proportional to the parallel length of the lines. Crosstalk varies with the load of the circuit, and for the same topology and wiring situation, the larger the load, the greater the crosstalk. Crosstalk is directly proportional to the signal frequency. In digital circuits, the edge change of the signal has the greatest impact on crosstalk. The faster the

    Oct 18,2023

        As the speed of integrated circuit output switches increases and the density of PCB boards increases, Signal Integrity has become one of the essential issues in high-speed digital PCB design. Factors such as the parameters of components and PCB boards, the layout of components on the PCB board, and the layout of high-speed signal lines can all cause signal integrity issues.  For PCB layout, signal integrity requires providing a circuit board layout that does not affect signal timing or voltage, while for circuit wiring, signal integrity requires providing termination components, layout strategies, and wiring information.  High signal speed, incorrect layout of termination components, or incorrect wiring of high-speed signals on a PCB can all cause signal integrity issues, which may result in incorrect system output, abnormal circuit operation, or even complete failure.

    Why do PCB circuits and solder joints require pre-treatment and grinding?

    Why do PCB circuits and solder joints require pre-treatment and grinding?

    Oct 17,2023

      Answer: 1. The circuit board surface includes a foil coated substrate and a pre copper plated substrate after hole metallization. To ensure a firm adhesion between the dry film and the substrate surface, it is required that the substrate surface be free of oxide layers, oil stains, fingerprints, and other dirt, drilling burrs, and rough coatings. To increase the contact area between the dry film and the substrate surface, it is also required that the substrate have a micro rough surface. To meet the above two requirements, the substrate must be carefully treated before applying the film. The treatment methods can be summarized into two categories: mechanical cleaning and chemical cleaning.  2. The same principle applies to resistance welding. Before resistance welding, grinding the plate is to remove some oxidation layers, oil stains, fingerprints, and other dirt from the plate surface. In order to increase the contact area between the resistance welding ink and the plate surface and

        After several waves of upward momentum, PCB factories have already reached their limits in terms of affordability. It is understood that in the past six months, the average price of CCL materials has increased by about 20-30%. Therefore, most PCB manufacturers, especially traditional hard board manufacturers, can no longer withstand the pressure and have started price negotiations with customers, hoping that customers can understand the pressure from PCB factories and help absorb some costs. The end customers, ODM and OEM factories that are in contact with PCB factories have seen a real shortage of materials, and the pressure to rush out far outweighs the cost pressure. Recently, their attitudes have indeed softened.

        The main purpose of PCB baking is to remove moisture and moisture, removing moisture inside or absorbed from the outside of the PCB, as some PCBs themselves use materials that easily form water molecules.  In addition, after PCB production and placement for a period of time, there is also a chance to absorb moisture from the environment, and water is one of the main culprits causing PCB explosion or delamination.  Because when the PCB is placed in an environment with a temperature exceeding 100 ℃, such as a reflow furnace, wave soldering furnace, hot air leveling, or manual welding process, water will become water vapor and quickly expand its volume.  The faster the heating speed on the PCB, the faster the expansion of water vapor; The higher the temperature, the larger the volume of water vapor; When water vapor cannot escape from the PCB in a timely manner, there is a good chance of expanding the PCB.

    Why do PCB circuit boards need impedance

    Oct 12,2023

        PCB circuit board impedance refers to the parameters of resistance and reactance, which hinder AC power. In the production of PCB circuit boards, impedance processing is essential. The reasons are as follows:  1. PCB circuits (bottom of the board) should consider the installation of electronic components by plugging, and after plugging, issues such as conductivity and signal transmission performance should be considered. Therefore, it is required that the impedance should be as low as possible, and the resistivity should be less than 1&TIMes per square centimeter; Below 10-6.  2. During the production process of PCB circuit boards, they need to go through processes such as copper deposition, electroplating tin (or chemical plating, or thermal spraying tin), and connector soldering. The materials used in these processes must ensure a low resistivity to ensure that the overall impedance of the circuit board meets product quality requirements and can operate normally.  3.
