1. Introduction The copper in the vias of a printed circuit board (PCB) is akin to the neural network (blood vessels) of the human body, interspersed within the substrate “body” to provide the basic pathways for signal transmission and current conduction. Once a via copper break occurs, it is like a nerve being severed, preventing … Read more
The PCB industry chain is structured as follows: Upstream Raw Materials — Midstream Substrates — Downstream PCB Applications Upstream Raw Materials Upstream raw materials include copper foil, resin, fiberglass cloth, wood pulp, ink, and copper balls, among which copper foil, resin, and fiberglass cloth are the three main raw materials. Copper foil is the primary … Read more
Most engineers send the PCB files or Gerber files to the manufacturer and then wait for the boards to be returned. However, many hardware development professionals may work for years without the opportunity to visit a PCB manufacturing facility to see the entire production process. Today, I will take you on a tour to see … Read more
Abstract: This article introduces a very old PCB manufacturing process – the etching method. The advantages of this process include low cost and short time. However, there are also significant drawbacks, such as the complexity of making double-sided boards and environmental concerns! The specific manufacturing method is as follows: Designing the PCB 1. Design the … Read more
What are the stages of chip manufacturing? First, let’s talk about the manufacturing environment. The chip factory has high requirements for environmental humidity, temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, vibrations, and the number of bacteria indoors. For example, its cleanliness is thousands of times higher than that of an operating room. Its raw materials, mainly silicon extracted … Read more
