MultiLayer PCB Production Case

MultiLayer PCB

PCB Production Solution for Industrial IO Module

Core Parameters

This PCB is designed for industrial IO module applications, requiring high reliability, signal integrity, and mechanical stability in harsh environments.

Parameter Specification Purpose
Substrate FR4 (High Tg) Stable dielectric performance for industrial temperature range
PCB Thickness 1.600mm Meet mechanical assembly and warpage tolerance
Surface Finish Immersion Gold Enable fine-pitch component soldering and anti-oxidation
Stencil Thickness 0.1mm Optimize solder paste release for dense component layout
Solder Paste Thickness (BOT) 0.125mm 0.025mm thicker than stencil for robust solder joints
CBA Thickness 1.600mm Controlled board assembly thickness for mechanical fit

Design Scheme

Structure & Function

  • Multi-layer design integrating industrial IO interfaces, power management circuits, and signal conditioning modules
  • Signal integrity optimization for analog/digital mixed-signal paths (controlled impedance, reduced crosstalk)
  • Power plane layout with dedicated GND/VCC layers for stable power delivery to high-current components
  • Mechanical robustness design with edge stiffeners and precise mounting hole tolerances

Drilling & Routing Requirements

  • High-density via array (microvias and through-holes) for multi-layer interconnection, total holes >500
  • Precision Control: ±0.05mm hole position accuracy, 0.2mm minimum drill diameter
  • Trace width/spacing: 6/6mil for signal lines, 10/10mil for power lines

Production Process

1

Multi-Layer Lamination

  • • FR4 core + prepreg layers laminated to 1.6mm
  • • Precise layer alignment (<±0.03mm) for inter-layer vias
  • • Thermal curing optimized for Tg stability
  • • Controlled pressure (25-30 kgf/cm²) during lamination

Immersion Gold Finish (7-Step Process)

1. Degreasing: Remove organic contaminants (50-60℃, 5min)
2. Micro-etching: Roughen copper surface (1-2min)
3. Activation: Deposit palladium catalyst (3-5min)
4. Nickel plating: 5-10μm layer (pH 4.5-5.5, 80-85℃)
5. Gold replacement: 2-3μm layer (pH 8.5-9.5, 70-75℃)
6. Post-cleaning: Remove residual salts (3min)
7. Drying: Hot air drying (60-70℃, 5min) – prevent oxidation

SMT Assembly

  • • 0.1mm stencil with laser-cut apertures
  • • 0.125mm solder paste thickness (BOT side)
  • • Reflow profile: Preheat (150-170℃/60s)
  • • Reflow profile: Soak (170-190℃/40s)
  • • Reflow profile: Peak (235-245℃/10s)
  • • Post-reflow inspection: X-ray + AOI

Immersion Gold Process Key Notes

Nickel layer thickness >5μm to avoid "black pad" defect
Gold layer optimized to 2-3μm for cost vs. performance balance
Post-cleaning uses 18MΩ deionized water to remove residues
Meets IPC-6012 class 2 requirements for industrial applications

Quality Control

In-Process Inspection

After drilling

X-ray inspection + CMM measurement (verify hole position, diameter, and plating integrity)

After etching

AOI (inspect trace width/spacing, shorts, opens, and copper uniformity)

After immersion gold

XRF (gold/nickel layer thickness); solderability test (wetting balance method)

Final Verification

Electrical Tests

Bed-of-Nails test (continuity, insulation resistance); impedance test (controlled impedance lines)

Reliability Tests

Thermal cycling: -40℃~+85℃, 1000 cycles
Humidity test: 85℃/85%RH, 500h
Mechanical shock: 50G, 11ms

Summary

The production of MultiLayer PCB ensures reliability for industrial applications through:

  • Design: Prioritizing "mixed-signal integrity + power delivery stability" for industrial IO scenarios
  • Manufacturing: Controlling "multi-layer lamination precision, 7-step immersion gold process (5-10μm nickel + 2-3μm gold), and SMT process parameters"
  • QC: Full-process inspection covering drilling, etching, plating, and final electrical/reliability verification
