A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. PCBs can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two copper layers) or multi-layer. Conductor on different layers are connected with plated-through holes called vias. Advanced PCBs may contain components - capacitors, resistors or active devices - embedded in the substrate.

Introduction

Multilayer

Multilayer circuit boards at least three conductive layer, two layer surface, and the rest of the layer were synthesized in insulation board. The electrical connection between them is usually through cross circuit board plated through hole. Until further instructions, multilayer printed circuit board and double panel, usually plated through hole plate. In a single panel, even double panel, due to the cross limited number can be realized, these requirements cant get a satisfactory answer. In the case of a large number of interconnection and cross demand, circuit board to achieve a satisfactory performance, it must be expanded to more than two layer board layer, thus appeared the multilayer circuit board.

Multilayer circuit board easy to distinguish

Circuit board according to decide how much of the wiring process difficulty and machining price, ordinary circuit board with single line and double line, commonly known as the single panel and double panel, high-end electronic products, however, because of product space design factors, in addition to the surface wiring, internal stack multilayer circuit, the process of production, made each layer after line, again through the optical device positioning, pressing, let the superposition of multi-layer circuit in a piece of circuit board. Also known as multilayer circuit board. All is greater than or equal to 2 layer PCB, can be called the multilayer circuit board. Multilayer circuit board and can be divided into, multi-layer rigid circuit board, multilayer circuit board, hard and soft layers of hard and soft combination of circuit board.

Multiwire is a patented technique of interconnection which uses machine-routed insulated wires embedded in a non-conducting matrix (often plastic resin). It was used during the 1980s and 1990s. (Kollmorgen Technologies Corp, U.S. Patent 4,175,816 filed 1978) Multiwire is still available in 2010 through Hitachi. There are other competitive discrete wiring technologies that have been developed (Jumatech [2], layered sheets).

Since it was quite easy to stack interconnections (wires) inside the embedding matrix, the approach allowed designers to forget completely about the routing of wires (usually a time-consuming operation of PCB design): Anywhere the designer needs a connection, the machine will draw a wire in straight line from one location/pin to another. This led to very short design times (no complex algorithms to use even for high density designs) as well as reduced crosstalk (which is worse when wires run parallel to each otherwhich almost never happens in Multiwire), though the cost is too high to compete with cheaper PCB technologies when large quantities are needed.

The birth of multilayer circuit board

Due to the increase in density of integrated circuit packaging, led to interconnect highly concentrated, this makes more substrate using a necessity. In the layout of printed circuit boards, the design of unforeseen problems, such as noise, stray capacitance, crosstalk. Printed circuit board design, therefore, must be committed to make the minimum line length and avoid parallel routes, etc. Clearly, in a single panel, even double panel, due to the cross limited number can be realized, these requirements cant get a satisfactory answer. In the case of a large number of interconnection and cross demand, circuit board to achieve a satisfactory performance, it must be expanded to more than two layer board layer, thus appeared the multilayer circuit board. Therefore making multilayer circuit board is designed for complex and/or electronic circuits that are sensitive to noise to choose the appropriate path of wiring to provide more degrees of freedom. Multilayer circuit boards at least three conductive layer, two layer surface, and the rest of the layer were synthesized in insulation board. The electrical connection between them is usually through cross circuit board plated through hole. Until further instructions, multilayer printed circuit board and double panel, usually plated through hole plate.

More substrate is stacked together two or more circuit manufacturing, and reliably predefined mutual connection between them. Because before all the layers of crushed together, has completed the drilling and plating, this technology from the start, in violation of the traditional production process. The two layers inside is composed of traditional double panel, the outer is different, they are composed of independent single panel. Before crushing, the substrate will be drilling, hole plating, graphic transfer, development and etching. By drilling of outer layer is a signal, it is through the hole on the inside edge to form a balanced copper ring be plated through such a way. Then each layer of roller compacted together to form more substrate, the substrate the wave crest welding can be used for more () between the components connected to each other.

RCC may be in a hydraulic press or done in the middle of super pressure tank (autoclave). In hydraulic press, the prepared material (used in pressure stack) is placed in cold or warm up under the pressure of the (high glass transition temperature of the material in the temperature of the 170-180 ). Glass transition temperature is amorphous polymers (resin), or part of the crystalline polymer amorphous region from quite a hard, brittle state changes into a viscous, rubber state temperature.

Substrate is put into use in electronic equipment (computer, military equipment), especially in the case of weight and volume overload. However, this can only be use more substrate cost increase in exchange for a space

And reduce weight. In high speed circuit, the substrate is also useful, they can provide the PCB designer with more than two layers of the plate to lay wires, and provide greater grounding and power supply area.

Multilayer PCB design method

Before designing multilayer PCB, designers need to first according to the size of the circuit, the size of the circuit board, and the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to determine the structure of circuit board, which is decided to adopt 4 layer and 6 layer, or the number of multilayer circuit board. Determine the layer, and then determine how electricity layer and placed within different signal on the layer distribution. This is the problem of multi-layer PCB cascade structure choice. Cascade structure is an important factor affecting PCB EMC performance, is also an important means to restrain electromagnetic interference. This section will introduce multi-layer PCB cascade structure related content.

1.1. The number of layers and superposition principle

Determine the cascade structure of multilayer PCB need to consider more factors. In wiring ways, layer number of the more the wiring, but plate cost and difficulty also increases. For manufacturers, cascade structure symmetry or not is the focus of the need to pay attention to when PCB manufacturing, so the layer number of choice need to consider all aspects of the demand, in order to achieve the best balance.

For experienced designers, after fulfilling the components of the preliminary layout, bottlenecks for PCB wiring place emphasis on analysis. Combined with other EDA tools to analyze circuit board wiring density; Then integrated signal such as difference lines with special wiring requirements, such as sensitive signal lines to the number and variety of determine the signal of the layer number; Then according to the requirement of the power supply, isolation, and the kinds of anti-interference to determine the number of electric layer within. In this way, the whole circuit board layer number is basic assurance.

Determine the circuit board after the number of layers, the next job is reasonably arranged each layer placed the order of the circuit. In this step, the main factors to consider are the following two points.
(1) special signal layer distribution.
(2) power supply layer and the distribution of the strata.

If PCB layers, the more special signal layer, formation and the power of the more the kinds of permutation and combination, how to determine which combination is the optimal and the more difficult, but the general rule has the following several.
(1) signal should layer and an inner electrode layer adjacent power/ground (interior), using the electrical layer of copper film for signal provide shielding.
(2) the internal power supply should be tight coupling between layer and formation, that is, between the internal power supply layer and formation of medium thickness should take smaller values, in order to improve the power supply layer and formation, the capacitance between the resonant frequency. Internal power supply Layer and formation between the medium thickness in Protel Layer Stack Manager (set in the Layer Stack Manager). Select [Design] / [the Layer Stack Manager..." Command, the system pop-up the layer stack manager dialog box, use the mouse to double-click the Prepreg text, pop-up dialog box shown in figure 11-1, can be in the dialog box change the Thickness of insulation layer Thickness of options.

Multilayer

Figure 11-1 set insulation layer thickness

If the potential difference between the power and ground is not big, can use smaller thickness of insulating layer, such as 5 mil (0.127 mm).
(3) circuit of the high speed signals transmission layer should be the middle tier, and sandwiched between two electrode layer in between. Within these two electric layer of copper film can provide electromagnetic shielding for high speed signal transmission, but also can effectively limit the radiation of high-speed signal within two electricity between layers, no foreign interference.
(4) avoid direct adjacent two signal layers. Easy introduction of crosstalk between adjacent signal layer, resulting in circuit function failure. In between the two signals to join the plane can effectively avoid the crosstalk.
(5) multiple grounding electrode layer can effectively reduce the grounding impedance. For example, A signal layer and B signals using separate ground plane, can effectively reduce the common mode interference.
(6) symmetry of layer structure of give attention to two or morethings.

1.2 the cascade structure commonly used

Through the example of 4 layer board below will show how the optimization way of permutation and combination of various kinds of cascade structure.

For the commonly used 4 layer board, there are several cascade mode (from top to bottom).
(1) Siganl_1 (Top), GND (Inner_1), POWER (Inner_2), Siganl_2 (Bottom).
(2) Siganl_1 (Top), POWER (Inner_1), GND (Inner_2), Siganl_2 (Bottom).
(3) POWER (Top), Siganl_1 (Inner_1), GND (Inner_2), Siganl_2 (Bottom).

Obviously, plan 3 power supply layer and formation, lack of effective coupling should not be used.

Then plan 1 and 2 should be how to choose? Under normal circumstances, the designers will choose solution 1 as the structure of the 4 layer board. Reason not scheme 2 shall not be used, but the general PCB are placed at the top level components only, so the plan 1 is relatively appropriate. But when need to be placed on the top floor and the underlying components, and internal power formation between the layer and the thickness is bigger, poor coupling, you need to consider which layer arranged less signal lines. For solution 1, the bottom line is less, can be used in a large area of copper film layer with POWER coupling; On the other hand, if the components main arrangement in the bottom, you should choose to plan 2 plate.

If using the cascade structure as shown in figure 1-1, the power supply layer and ground layer itself has coupling, considering the requirement of the symmetry, generally USES plan 1.

After complete the 4 layer board of cascade structure analysis, the following 6 layer board through a combination of examples to illustrate the permutation and combination of 6 layer board cascade structure mode and optimizing method.

(1) Siganl_1 (Top), GND (Inner_1), Siganl_2 (Inner_2), Siganl_3 (Inner_3), POWER (In).
Scheme adopted 4 signal layer 1 and layer 2 internal power/ground plane, with more signal layer, is advantageous to the wiring between components work, but the defects of the scheme is also evident, characterized by the following two aspects.

1) power supply layer and ground layer separate far away, not fully coupling.
2) signal layer Siganl_2 (Inner_2) and Siganl_3 (Inner_3) directly adjacent to the signal isolation is not good, prone to crosstalk.

(2) Siganl_1 (Top), Siganl_2 (Inner_1), POWER (Inner_2), GND (Inner_3), Siganl_3 (In).
Plan 1, 2 relative to the power supply layer and ground layer with fully coupled, than those of plan 1 has a certain advantage, but Siganl_1 (Top) and Siganl_2 (Inner_1) and Siganl_3 (Inner_4) and Siganl_4 (Bottom) layer directly adjacent signal, signal isolation is not good, easy to occur the crosstalk problem is not solved.

(3) Siganl_1 (Top), GND (Inner_1), Siganl_2 (Inner_2), POWER (Inner_3), GND (Inner_).
Relative to the plan 1 and 2, the solution to reduce a signal layer 3, more an inner layer, although for wiring level decreased, but the scheme solves the scheme 1 and scheme 2 common defects.

1) power supply layer and ground layer tightly coupled.
Within each signal layer
2) with electric layer adjacent directly, and other signal layer are the effective isolation, crosstalk is not easy to happen.
3) Siganl_2 GND (Inner_2) and two electric layer (Inner_1) and POWER (Inner_3) adjacent, can be used to transmit signals at a high speed. Two electrical layer can effectively block outside of Siganl_2 (Inner_2) layer interference and Siganl_2 (Inner_2) to outside interference.

Synthesis of 3 aspects, obviously is a kind of optimization, at the same time, the scheme of 3 and 6 layer board commonly used cascade structure.

Through the analysis of the above two examples, believe that the reader has to have a certain understanding of cascade structure, but in some cases, a single solution can not meet the requirements of all, it is need to consider the design principle of priority issues. Unfortunately due to the PCB board layer is closely related to the design and the characteristics of the actual circuit, anti-jamming performance and the design emphasis of the different circuit is different, so in fact did not determine the priority of these principles is available for reference. But what is clear is that design principle 2 (internal power between layer and formation should be tightly coupled) need to first met when the design, in addition if need high-speed transmission signal in the circuit, then the design principle of 3 (circuit of high speed signals transmission layer should be the middle layer, and between electricity within two layer) must be satisfied. A multilayer laminated structure is presented in table 1-1 reference solution, for readers reference.

Multilayer

2.1 general principles of the components layout

Designers need to follow the general principle in the process of printed circuit board layout are as follows.

(1) components single best placed. If need double placed components, placed in the Bottom Layer (Bottom) pin type components, it is possible to cause the circuit board is not easy to put, is unfavorable to welding, so in the underlying Layer (Bottom) only best placed SMT components, similar to common computer graphics components on the PCB layout method. Only when the single placed on the circuit board of a do silk screen layer, easy to reduce costs.

(2) the reasonable arrangement of the position of the interface components and direction. In general, as a circuit board and the outside world (power supply, signal lines) connection of the connector components, often at the edge of the circuit board, such as serial port and parallel port. If placed in the middle of the circuit board, apparently for wiring, may also be unable to connect with other components of the block. Also should pay attention to the direction of the interface, when placed interface allows the cable to successfully lead, away from the circuit board. Interface place after the completion, should use String interface components (String) clearly indicate the type of the interface; For class interface power supply shall be marked voltage grade, prevent caused by wrong wiring circuit board burned.

(3) high pressure components and low voltage components should have wide electrical isolation belt between the best. That is to say, dont put the difference in voltage grade components together, for electrical insulation already so, also has great benefits for the signal isolation and anti-interference.

(4) that is close to the electrical connection components best placed together. This is the layout of the modular thought.

(5) for the components of the noise, the clock generator and vibration, high frequency components, for example, when placed should try to place them near the CPU clock input. Large current circuit and switch circuit is easy to generate noise, in the layout of these components or modules should be far away from the logic control circuit and storage circuit of high-speed signal circuit, if possible, try to adopt the way of control board combined with the power board, using the interface to connect to, in order to improve the anti-interference ability and the work reliability of circuit board as a whole.

(6) around the power and chip try to place the filter capacitor and decoupling capacitor. Decoupling capacitors and filtering capacitance circuit board layout is to improve the power quality, an important measure to improve anti-interference ability. In practice, go line of printed circuit boards, pin connection and wiring are likely to bring a larger parasitic inductance, thus resulting in high frequency power source waveform and waveform ripple and burr, and between power supply and to place a 0.1 F decoupling capacitor can effectively filter out the high frequency ripple and burr. If circuit boards using the patch capacitor, patch capacitance should be close to the components of the power supply pins. For the power conversion chip, or the power input, it is best to decorate a 10 F or larger capacitance, to further improve the quality of power supply.

(7) the serial number of components should be close to the components of the border to decorate, uniform size, direction and tidy, not with components, holes and overlap welding plate. Components or connector pins 1 said direction; Is the sign of the cathode should be clearly marked on the PCB, is not permitted to cover; Power conversion components (such as DC/DC converter, linear transformation power supply and switching power supply) side should have enough heat dissipation space and installation space, with sufficient welding outer space, etc.

2.2 general principles of the components wiring

Design personnel in the process of PCB wiring needs to follow the general principles are as follows.

(1) components printed line spacing of setting principles. Amount of space between different network constraints are produced by electric insulation, process and component size and other factors. Such as a pin spacing is 8 mil chip components, then the chip of the Clearance Constraint] cannot be set to 10 mil, designers need to separate this chip set a 6 mil design rules. At the same time, the distance between set to take into account the manufacturers production capacity.

In addition, the influence of components is an important factor in electrical insulation, if two components or network of potential difference is bigger, be considered for electrical insulation problems. Clearance in general environment safe voltage of 200 V/mm, or 5.08 V/mil. So when the same piece of circuit board when there are both high voltage circuit and low voltage circuit, you need to pay special attention to enough safe distance.

(2) line corner the choice of the form of line. In order to make the circuit board is easy to manufacture and beautiful, in the corner of the design need to set the line pattern, can choose to 45 , 90 and arc. Generally do not use the sharp corner, had better use circular arc transition or 45 transition, the 90 or avoid more sharp corner transition.

Between wires and solder joint is smooth as far as possible, avoid the small feet, tears filling method can be used to solve. When the center distance between the welding plate is smaller than a bonding pad diameter D, the width of the wire may be the same and the diameter of the welding plate; If the center distance between the welding plate is greater than the D, the width of the wire is not greater than the diameter of the welding plate.

Wire through between two bonding pad and not connected with, should keep their largest and equal spacing, the same uniform spacing between the wire and cable should be equal and maintain maximum.

(3) printed line width determination method. By wire line width is effected through the current level and anti-jamming and so on factors, the greater the flow through the current, the line should be more wide. Power cord should be wider than signal lines. In order to guarantee the stability of the ground potential (affected by changes to current size small), ground wire should be wider. Experimental results show: when printed wire of copper film thickness is 0.05 mm, printed wire carrying capacity can be calculated, according to the 20 a/was 0.05 mm thick, 1 mm wide wire can be through the current of 1 a. So for the general line 10 ~ 30 mil width can meet the requirements; High voltage, large current signal lines wide in the equal to 40 mil, line to line spacing greater than 30 mil. In order to guarantee the peel strength of the wire and working reliability, to the extent permitted in the plate area and density, as wide as possible wire should be used to reduce the line impedance, and improve the anti-jamming ability.

For the power cord and the width of the ground, to ensure the stability of the waveform, under the condition of the circuit board wiring space allows, bold as far as possible, normally need at least 50 mil.

(4) printed wiring of anti-interference and electromagnetic shielding. The main interference wires are introduced by the interference between wires, power supply cord into the the crosstalk between the interference and signal lines, reasonable arrangement and layout of line and grounding method can effectively reduce the interference sources, make the design of the circuit board has better emc performance.

For high frequency or some other important signal, such as the clock signal, on the one hand, it will try to get the line width, on the other hand can take the form of package to make the signal lines around it with isolated (is to use a closed ground will signal lines "package", is equivalent to add a layer of earth shield).

For analog ground and digital ground to separate wiring, cannot mix. If you need the uniform analog ground and digital ground for a potential, often should adopt the way of one-point earthing, which is to select only one point connect analog ground and digital ground, prevent a ground loop, and create the potential deviation.

After completion of the wiring should be at the top and bottom place without laying wires apply to large area of the grounding copper film, also known as coated copper, used to reduce the ground impedance, thereby weakening the high frequency signal, the ground at the same time, large area ground can have inhibitory effect on electromagnetic interference.

One of the circuit board via brings about 10 pf parasitic capacitance, is especially detrimental for high-speed circuit; At the same time, too many holes would also reduce PCB mechanical strength. Therefore, when wiring, should as far as possible to reduce the amount of the through hole. In addition, in the use of transmission through hole (hole), commonly used solder instead. This is because the circuit board, which may be because some causes of processing of transmission via (hole) were not wearing, and bonding pad must be through when processing, this also is equivalent to brought convenient to produce.

The above is the general principles of the PCB layout and wiring, but in practice, the layout of the components and wiring is still a very flexible work, the layout and the connections of the components is not the only way, the result of the layout to a large extent depends on the designers experience and thoughts. Can say, there is no a standard to judge the layout and wiring scheme of right and wrong, and can only compare relatively better. So the above layout and wiring principle as a design reference only, the practice is the only standard of judgment.

2.3 the special requirements of multilayer PCB layout and wiring

Compared with the simple single plate and double board, multilayer PCB layout and wiring has its unique requirements. For multilayer PCB layout, sum up is to arrange the different power supply and the layout of the types of components. Its purpose is to bring electricity in the back of the segmentation is convenient, but also can effectively improve the anti-interference ability of between components.

The so-called reasonable arrangement of the power supply and to the layout of the type of components, is to use the same power level and the same type of components together as far as possible. For example, when a + on circuit principle diagram, + 5 V, 3.3 V? 5 v, + 15 v,? 15 v, voltage grade, the designer should use the same voltage grade of components placed centrally in the circuit board of a certain area. Certainly is not the only standard of the layout, the layout principles as well as the layout of the other principles should be considered (the general principles of the double board layout), which requires the designer according to the actual demand to comprehensive consideration of various factors, to meet other layout principle, on the basis of as far as possible will use the same power level and type of components together. For multilayer PCB wiring, sum up is: go signal lines and go after the power cord. This is because the power of the sandwich plate and is usually done by electric connection within the layer. The advantage is to simplify signal layer go line, and the electrical layer through the large area of copper film connection way to effectively reduce the grounding impedance and power equivalent resistance, improve the anti- interference ability of the circuit; At the same time, the large area of copper film is allowed by the maximum current is increased.

Under normal circumstances, the designers need to type first reasonable arrangement of the power supply and the layout of the components, both other layout principles, and then according to the method introduced in the previous section for wiring components (only), after the completion of the split within electrical layer, determine the electrical layer network label of each part, finally through on electricity and signal layers in the hole and the bonding pad for connection. Welding plate and a hole through the electrical layer, and with the same network label from the bonding pad or some not corrode copper film is connected to the electricity layer, and does not belong to the network around the welding plate corrosion of copper film is completely off, that is not with the electrical conduction layer.

3. The middle tier to create and set up

Layer, is in the PCB layers between the top and bottom, the structure shown in figure 1-1, readers can understand the annotations in the reference. The middle layer in the process of production is how to implement? Simply sandwich plate is to suppress multiple single plate and double plate, the middle layer is the original single panel and double panel at the top or bottom. In PCB production process, you first need to on a substrate (generally using synthetic resin material) on both sides of the apply of copper film, and then through light painting and other technology transfer drawings of wire connection relationship to the PCB board (printed in drawing wire, welding plate and the hole coated to protect it, and prevent the part of the copper film corrosion in the corrosion process), and then by means of chemical etching (FeCl3 or H2O2 as the main component of corrosion liquid) there will be no corrosion protection of copper film laminating machine, finally complete drilling, silk-screen printing layer and so on post-processing work, such basic completed a PCB board. Similarly, multilayer PCB is in more than one plate layer adopts the suppression process again after the completion of the compressed into a piece of circuit board, and to reduce the cost and via interference, multilayer PCB often was not much thicker than the double plate and single board, which makes up of multilayer PCB board layer relative to the ordinary double-layer plate and the thickness of single layer board often smaller, lower mechanical strength, higher demand for processing. So the multilayer PCB production costs compared with the ordinary double plate and the single board will be expensive.

But because of the existence of the middle layer of a multilayer wiring more easily, this is also the main purpose of the sandwich plate. In practice, however, multilayer PCB threatening the manual wiring put forward higher request, makes the designers need to get more help of EDA software; At the same time, the existence of the middle tier can makes the power supply and signal transmission in the different layers of plate, the signal isolation and anti-jamming performance will be better, and the widespread application of copper connect power and ground network can effectively reduce the line impedance, and decrease for common grounding caused land potential deviation. So often use a multilayer structure of the PCB board than ordinary double-layer plate and the monolayer plate has better anti-jamming performance.

3.1 the creation of a middle tier

Settings provides a special Layer in the Protel system and management tools - Layer Stack Manager (the Layer Stack Manager). This tool can help the designer to add, modify, and delete the work layer, and the properties of the layer are defined and modified. Select [Design] / [the Layer Stack Manager..." Command, the pop-up as shown in figure 11-2 layer stack manager properties dialog box.

Multilayer

Pictured above is a 4 layer PCB layer stack manager interface. In addition to the top (TopLayer) and bottom (BottomLayer), there are two internal Power supply layer (Power) and the ground plane (GND), the position of these layers are clearly shown in the figure. Double-click on the layers name or click the Properties button to pop up layer Properties dialog box, as shown in figure 11-3.

There are three options in the dialog box can be set.

(1) Name is used to specify the Name of the layer.

(2) Copper thickness: specify the layer thickness of Copper film, the default value is 1.4 mil. The thicker the copper film is the same width of the wire can withstand the greater carrying capacity.

(3) the Net name: in the drop-down list to specify the layer network is connected. This option can only be used to set the electricity layer, signal layer without this option. If the inside electrode layer is only one network "+ 5 v", for example, you can specify here network name; But if the electrical layer needs to be split into several different areas, then dont specify the network name here.

In between the layers and insulation material as a carrier of the circuit board, or used for electrical isolation. Which is the Core and Prepreg insulation materials, but the Core is the double-sided has copper film and the connections of the plank, and segregation of Prepreg is only used for layer insulation material. Both the Properties of the same Settings dialog box, and then double-click the Core or Prepreg, or click the Properties button to pop up after insulation materials insulation property Settings dialog. As shown in figure 11-4.

The thickness of the insulating layer and interlayer pressure, related factors, such as signal coupling, etc, in front of the layer selection and superposition principle has been introduced. If there is no special requirements, generally choose the default values.

In addition to the "Core" and "Prepreg" two kinds of insulating layer, and usually have the bottom on the top of the circuit board insulation. Click on the Top left corner of the figure 11-2 Top Dielectric Dielectric (top-level insulation) or Bottom (the underlying insulation) before the selection box choose whether to display insulation layer, click the Settings button to the right of the insulation properties.

To set the options at the top and bottom insulation Layer has a cascade mode selection drop-down list below, you can choose different transfer mode: LayerPairs Layer (in Pairs), Internal Layer Pairs (electrical Layer Pairs) and Build - up (important). Mentioned in front, sandwich plate is actually made up of multiple suppression and double board or single board, choose different patterns, said pressed by different methods in the actual production, so as shown in figure 11-5 of the "Core" and "Prepreg" position is also different. Layer model in pairs, for example, is the two double powder an insulating layer (Prepreg), electric layer model is two single powder in pairs within a double plate. Layer usually USES the default Layer Pairs (in Pairs) model.

4. The electrical layer design

Sandwich plate relative to the ordinary double plate and single board is a very important advantage of signal and power can be distributed on the different plate layer, increase the degree of signal isolation and anti-jamming performance. Electricity within a copper film layer, the copper film is divided into several isolated areas, each area of the copper film through a hole with a particular power or ground is linked together, so as to simplify the power and ground network line, at the same time can effectively reduce power resistance.

4.1 electrical layer design related

Electric layer is usually within the whole sheet copper film, and the welding of copper film with the same network name plate inside through electrical layer when the system will automatically connect with the copper film. Bonding pad/through the inner hole and connection of electric layer, and copper film and other do not belong to the network the safety of the welding plate spacing can be on the Power Plane Clearance option Settings.

6, Multilayer PCB laminate technology

Printed circuit board according to the layer to have single panel, double panel and sandwich plate. The making craft of single and double panel is simple! This paper is in the process of Multilayer PCB laminate technology! Multilayer printed circuit board is composed of more than three layers of conductive graphics layer and insulation layer alternately by laminated gluing together and form of the PCB, and meet the design requirements stipulated conductive graphics interconnection between the layers. It has high density, small volume, light weight, high reliability, etc, output value is the highest, fastest growing type of PCB products. With towards high-speed, multi-functional electronic technology, large capacity and portable low consumption direction development, the application of multilayer printed circuit board is more and more widely, its layers and the density is becoming more and more high, the corresponding structure is becoming more and more complex. Laminated technology, refers to the use of half cure piece (by epoxy glass cloth dipping, baking to solvent is made of a sheet material. The resin B stage, under the effect of temperature and pressure, the liquid and can be quickly solidified and complete bonding.) The conductive graphics of gluing technology under high temperature and high pressure.

Multilayer PCB laminate technology according to the positioning system adopted by the different, can be divided into laminated before positioning system technology (PIN - LAN) and positioning system after laminated technology (MASS - LAM). The former location accuracy is high, but low efficiency, high cost, only applies to the number of high-level, high precision production of multilayer printed circuit board, and the latter while positioning accuracy is low, but high efficiency, low cost, so this method is the present domestic most of the PCB manufacturer for laminated process method is generally used to mass production.

1) before positioning system lamination technology

1.1 before positioning system introduction

Circuit graphics positioning system is throughout the multilayer film production, graphic transfer inside and outside layer, laminated and CNC drilling process, such as a common problems. Every layer of multilayer PCB circuit graphics, relative to other layers must be accurate positioning, to ensure that multi-layer PCB circuit between each layer can be correctly connected to the hole metallization. For the number of high-level, high density and large panels laminated is particularly important.

(b) in the positioning hole position, into a pile with a bench drill positioning hole, aperture is bigger than locating pin diameter 1.5 ~ 2.0 mm;

(c) every half piece has broken fiber, big grain on curing glue, impurity defects should be removed, operation should be Dai Qingjie yarn gloves, it is strictly prohibited to hand sweat, oil pollution;

(d) cutting half curing, to wear a mask to avoid inhaling powder tree. Wear gown trousers, avoid tree powder stick to the skin and cause itching or irritation. At the same time, should avoid tree powder into eyes;

(e) cutting processing good half cure piece, should be promptly put in more than 1 x 10-1 Tuo vacuum ark, excluding volatile and damp, ban into the oven or refrigerator and moisture, prevent aging, bonding. In a vacuum storage cabinet platoon is wet should be greater than 48 hours

(f) should be carried out on the new half curing performance measurement. As the growth of the storage period, material aging, directly affect the fluidity and gelation time, it is closely related to the quality of the product, is the basis of process parameters. On performance measurement and calculation, see the section quality control.

(2) inner monolithic black and dry

(a) the inner black PCB process

upper plate → unoil → wash →wash → Microetching → The secondary countercurrent washing → preimpregnation → melanism → wash → wash → Also protect the → hot wash → wash→The lower

(b) using ammat company provides the darkening of the solution;

(c) the corrosion rate control range: 1.0 2.0 mu m/cycle.

(6) patch

(a) discharge every BOOK in the top panel, remove the kraft paper;

(b) removal of steel plate, and clean; (all the steel plate must be separated with sponge pieces.)

(c) with the number plate with a marker pen to write on the edge, and placed in a movable table; (between separated with kraft paper board.

(d) repeat (2) - (3) the operation until the demolition of all board.

(7) hole line

(a)Reference process of plate method, in not decoloring pen points out three positioning hole position of each plate;

(b) and plate number of the corresponding template with a pencil, draw the corners of sheet metal;

(c) every six floors above board, point positioning hole or crossed, can first presented four hole tools and sheet metal in the four nail holes overlapping position right after, can point hole line.

(8) after cutting board

(a) the shear plane with kraft paper, paper can't touch any stains or debris;

(b) according to the process of the product appearance size, reference line position, after the school completed the shear size cutting board;

(c) after cut the first board, subject to size inspection. After qualified, cut the rest of the board;

(d) between the plate and the plate must be separated by kraft paper.

(e) Also can make the shape of the number plate frame in advance, puts the plate on the blanking. (can improve the production efficiency and the dimensions of consistency.)

(9) Making plate

Will play Shanghai the top right corner of each plate board, avoid the phenomenon of mixed plate. (operation, plate should be flat on the stage, do not end up in their hands, curved plate.)

(10) After the baking plate

Sheet contraction in stable condition, eliminate the failure to remove stress within the cold press, facilitate customer connect plate immediately after the drilling operation.

(a) will have a number plate of sheet metal, with wax cloth to clean on the surface, is consistent with the size of the kraft paper separation between plate;

(b) before charging, first clean every fold at the bottom of the thick steel plate, and then into the plate. Each pack no more than 15 pieces, each pile of thin plate panel should be placed a;

(c) the baking plate for 4 hours, the temperature control in 125 ~ 135 ℃ (each batch plate charging and released, all needs to fill in the record.)

(d) sheet after, need to cool to room temperature, can operation of next working procedure.

(11) milling to positioning hole copper sheet

Marking location hole cut size and location of the sandwich plate, using special milling surface copper of the copper sheet machine milling to positioning hole position, in order to arrange another procedure operation. (need kraft paper separate plate, and avoid scratching and wear and tear.)

(12) Positioning hole

Drone with laminated positioning hole is special and, in three positioning hole. (semi-automatic and fully automatic drone.)
