الإدارة الحرارية

The board achieves 0.69 W/m.k thermal conductivity. This ensures effective heat dissipation from power amplifiers and RF components. Proper thermal management extends product lifetime and maintains stable electrical performance under load .

Design Principles

Layer Stack-Up Strategy

The 6-layer construction follows these principles:

• طبقة 1-2: RO4350B material for high-frequency signal routing

• طبقة 3-4: IT180 for power distribution and ground planes

• طبقة 5-6: IT180 for additional signal routing and mechanical stability

This arrangement places RF signals close to the surface with controlled dielectric thickness of 0.508 مم. It provides optimal conditions for 50 ohm transmission line design .

HDI Blind Via Design

The board features 1L~2L مؤشر التنمية البشرية blind holes. These laser-drilled microvias:

• Connect layer 1 directly to layer 2 without drilling through the entire board

• Reduce signal path length for better high-frequency performance

• Enable higher component density on the surface

• Maintain signal integrity by minimizing via stubs

السيطرة على المعاوقة

Precise 50 ohm التحكم في المعاوقة is maintained throughout all signal layers. This is achieved through:

• Accurate dielectric constant (DK 3.48) of RO4350B material

• Controlled trace width and spacing based on 0.508 mm dielectric thickness

• Consistent copper thickness of 1 أوقية (35 ميكرومتر)

• Careful design of transitions and via structures

مبدأ العمل: How Materials Work Together

Signal Transmission in Hybrid Structures

High-frequency signals travel primarily on the outer layers where RO4350B is present. This material’s stable DK value of 3.48 ensures:

• Consistent signal velocity across the board

• Minimal phase distortion in RF paths

• Reliable impedance matching for 50 ohm systems

• Reduced insertion loss compared to standard materials

Thermal and Mechanical Roles

The IT180 layers serve critical support functions:

• They provide mechanical rigidity to prevent board warpage

• They conduct heat away from active components

• They maintain dimensional stability during assembly

• They offer cost savings without compromising RF performance

Layer-to-Layer Communication

Signals move between layers through:

• Blind vias for high-frequency paths (L1-L2)

• Buried vias for inner layer connections

• Through-hole vias for power and ground distribution

This multi-level interconnect strategy preserves signal quality while enabling complex routing .

عملية التصنيع

Step 1: إعداد المواد

RO4350B and IT180 laminates are cut to panel size. Copper foil and prepreg materials are prepared according to the stack-up design. All materials are baked to remove moisture before processing .

Step 2: Inner Layer Imaging

Inner layers are imaged with circuit patterns. Etching removes unwanted copper. الفحص البصري الآلي (الهيئة العربية للتصنيع) verifies pattern accuracy .

Step 3: Layer Lamination

RO4350B and IT180 layers are stacked in the correct sequence. Vacuum lamination applies heat and pressure. The hybrid materials bond together to form a single 6-layer structure. Precise temperature control prevents material separation .

Step 4: حفر

Laser drilling creates 1L~2L blind vias with high precision. Mechanical drilling forms through-holes for other connections. Desmear processes clean all drilled holes .

Step 5: تصفيح

Electroless copper deposits a thin conductive layer. Electrolytic copper plating builds up to 1 أوقية (35 ميكرومتر) thickness. This ensures reliable electrical connections through all vias .

Step 6: Outer Layer Imaging

Outer layers are imaged and etched. Final circuit patterns include fine-pitch features for modern components. AOI verifies outer layer quality .

Step 7: تطبيق قناع اللحام

Solder mask is applied to protect copper surfaces. It is imaged to expose pads for soldering. Thermal curing hardens the mask .

Step 8: الانتهاء من السطح – الغمر الذهب

غمر الذهب is applied to exposed copper areas. This finish provides:

• Excellent solderability for assembly

• Flat surface for BGA and fine-pitch components

• Corrosion resistance for long-term reliability

• Good performance for high-frequency skin effect

Step 9: Electrical Testing

100% electrical testing verifies:

• Continuity of all nets

• Isolation between nets

• Impedance control at 50 ohm

• No shorts or opens

Step 10: Final Inspection and Packaging

Finished boards are visually inspected. They are vacuum-sealed with moisture barrier bags. Desiccant and humidity indicators are included for safe shipping .
