Facilitating the Success of Clients' Projects

Cracking the Code of Thick Copper Boards: Overcoming Press - Lamination Hurdles

In the dynamic realm of printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, the pursuit of high - performance components like thick copper boards has become a focal point, especially in applications demanding high - power handling capabilities, such as high - power DC power modules. Our recent encounter with a client's arduous journey to achieve a successful thick copper board production perfectly encapsulates the challenges and triumphs in this field.

The client, having endured multiple setbacks, finally turned to us. Their prior attempts at manufacturing 22 - layer thick copper printed circuit boards had been marred by consistent failures. These failures predominantly stemmed from issues within the press - lamination process, which is a critical stage in PCB manufacturing.

During press - lamination, the resin between the copper layers flows to bond them together. In the case of thick copper boards, the control of this resin flow becomes extremely tricky. One of the main culprits behind the client's failures was the problem of excessive or uneven resin flow, commonly known as "resin bleeding." When the resin flows too much or in an uncontrolled manner, it can lead to several issues. For instance, it may cause short - circuits between adjacent copper layers if the resin bridges the gaps between them. Uneven resin distribution can also result in inconsistent dielectric properties across the board, affecting its electrical performance.

Another crucial factor contributing to the failures was the delicate balance between the thick copper layers and the resin flow at the edges of the copper and the dielectric materials. The edges are particularly vulnerable areas during the press - lamination process. If the amount of resin flowing at the edges is not precisely controlled, it can lead to issues such as delamination at the edges of the copper layers. This is because insufficient resin may not provide enough adhesion, while excessive resin can create stress points that weaken the bond over time.

Temperature also plays a pivotal role in the press - lamination process. The temperature during lamination needs to be carefully regulated. If the temperature is too low, the resin may not flow adequately, leading to poor bonding between the layers. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, it can cause the resin to over - flow, exacerbating the resin bleeding problem. Additionally, high temperatures can also cause thermal stress within the board, which may lead to warping or even cracking of the copper layers.

Our team of experts, with in - depth knowledge and extensive experience in PCB manufacturing, took on the challenge. We started by conducting a thorough analysis of the client's previous manufacturing processes. We examined the press - lamination parameters, including temperature profiles, pressure settings, and the type of resin used. Based on this analysis, we made several adjustments to the process.

We optimized the temperature profile during press - lamination, ensuring that the resin reached the optimal viscosity for proper flow without over - flowing. We also adjusted the pressure settings to ensure even distribution of the resin across the board. Additionally, we selected a resin with better flow characteristics and compatibility with the thick copper layers.

After implementing these changes, we successfully produced the 22 - layer thick copper printed circuit boards for the client. The boards met all the required specifications in terms of electrical performance, mechanical integrity, and dimensional accuracy. This success not only solved the client's production issues but also highlighted the importance of a meticulous approach to the press - lamination process in thick copper board manufacturing.

In conclusion, the manufacturing of thick copper boards is a complex process that requires precise control over multiple variables, especially during the press - lamination stage. By understanding the root causes of failures and implementing targeted improvements, we can overcome these challenges and produce high - quality thick copper boards that meet the demanding requirements of modern electronic applications.
