Chapter 3: The Process Flow of Printed Circuit Boards

Printed circuit boards are like works of art; customers “propose” and set the qualification standards, while the board factory “reviews the proposal,” manufactures, inspects according to standards, and delivers. Due to the varying hardware conditions, talent pool, technology, and management capabilities of board factories, the “artworks” ultimately received by customers can differ significantly. The technical … Read more
