PCB
A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD PROVIDES A MECHANICAL PLATFORM FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (ACTIVE
SEMICONDUCTORS, RESISTORS, CAPACITORS, CONNECTORS, ETC.)
A PC BOARD PROVIDES 3- DIMENSIONAL ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT FOR DEVICES INCLUDING SIGNAL, POWER,
AND GROUND CIRCUITS.
A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD IS SIMULTANEOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE, A MECHANICAL DEVICE, AND A
THERMAL DEVICE.

Why Copper?
Copper is an excellent electrical conductor
Electrical resistivity is approx 1.6 micro ohm cm
An inexpensive metal
Soft and easily workable
Easily processed and patternable by photolithography, using
relatively benign chemicals
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
Copper Foil
Copper is the dominant metal for interconnection use.
The copper foil is normally specified by weight i.e. one half oz
per square ft (152.5 g/m2), oz per sq ft (305 g/m2).
These correspond to foil thicknesses of 17.5 and 35 microns
respectively.
It is usually produced by electrolytic deposition on a flat
mandril, and is about 99.8% pure and has a tolerance on
thickness of about ± 10%.
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
Copper Foil
Copper can be easily electrodeposited onto a PCB Laminate –
problems however!
ADHESION!
The adhesion is far superior from bonding copper foil sheets
by the combination of heat, pressure and adhesive.
Common adhesion tests include measurement of Peel
Strength – ‘how easy is it to peel the copper foil off’ and Pull
off Strength – how easy is it to pull up the copper foil from
the substrate

The glass transition temperature or Tg of a polymer is the temperature at which a polymer
transitions from a glassy to rubbery state upon heating and reflects the degree of polymer
Chain motion.

One important non-electrical characteristic is the maximum
temperature at which boards can be operated. This is also relevant
for the curing of printed epoxies and thick film pastes on the

The produced laminate boards must be robust enough to withstand
abuse during processing stages and in later life on the finished product.
Abuse can include:
Changes in temperature – sometimes rapid and hot and cold
Flexing – the boards may have to be flexed, particularly during
processing stages.
Resistance to chemicals, e.g. solvents, fluxes, acids etc.
Physical abuse – to a certain extent being dropped!
Robustness of Boards
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
Single Sided PCB Board Double Sided
PCB Board
Top layer has been patterned in alignment with bottom layer
Holes are drilled through board and then copper is
electrodeposited to interconnect top and bottom layers
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
Multilayer Boards
On multilayer boards, the individual, copper patterned laminates are stacked on
top and bottom of each other. Insulating layers between the conductors can also
be added.
Often begin with double sided board in middle and work outwards
Laminates then pressed, heated and bonded in a similar process to before.
Holes then drilled in appropriate places for subsequent electrodeposition of
copper to interconnect layers.
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
FLEXIBLE PCB’s
More and more interest being shown to flexible PCB’s
Applications include flexible interconnections. Advanced
applications include small screens, e.g. mobile phones – and large
‘roll up’ screens
Common substrate choices include polyester, polyimide etc.
Typical problems – flexing substrate can cause metal tracks and
components etc. to ‘peel’ off
Resistance of metal conductors can also be different when
substrate is flexed
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
FLEXIBLE PCB’s
Flexible circuits can reduce weight of PCB
Flexing can allow easier installation and servicing
Production can be inexpensive
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
FLEXIBLE DISPLAYS
Flexible Displays can take up less space (rolled up)
– more portable
Active elements can be TFT’s deposited by vapour deposition (amorphous
silicon) – also printed organic materials

• For a company manufacturing electronic equipment, it is risky to depend on just
one PCB manufacturing source.
• It is important that the PCB manufacturer and the OEM / EMS are thoroughly
knowledgeable about each other’s capabilities and expectations to ensure compatibility and
cooperation.
• There can easily be differences in the perception of quality, or the documentation
package can seem inadequate to the PCB manufacturer, thus requiring additional
communication with subsequent adjustments, and inevitably, this takes time.
• Another important advantage of having a number of regular PCB suppliers is a broader
spectrum of PCB technology at the customer’s disposal.
• This can be very significant in times of great technological changes, especially when
introducing SMT, HDI (High Density Interconnect), or laser drilled boards.
Thus, the conclusion is that any OEM or EMS company should always utilize a number of approved
and regular PCB vendors.
