Since 1991, our experience in the PCB development process has been making a big difference in increasing the quality of PCBs. We make sure that the files for production and documentation are correct and relevant to those who will have to produce the PCB. Choosing the right production site for your PCB designs requires experience in PCB manufacturing processes.
We know that the PCB design process could be complicated. Our experienced CAM engineers can help you: we will guide you through every step, from masterization to industrialization, achieving the most reliable and cost-effective design solution.
The goal is to provide advice aimed at improving, when possible, mass production, optimizing material use (minimizing waste) and refining the production process in order to avoid critical issues that generate waste and production delays. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  • As the first step Tekube receives the design files directly from the client. The data package includes distinct information of the layers, silk screen printing, solder mask, drilling point and other details. The most common extension used for these products are Extended Gerber and ODB++. Thanks to CAD\/CAM stations, exporting is always possible, .dwg included.<\/li>
  • After having received the Gerber files, the Tekube technical department starts, in agreement with the client, a review phase of the data package: included information will have to be in compliance with manufacturers capabilities and also IPC A600_G provisions.<\/li>
  • The technical department, thanks to the experience achieved in the years, is usually able to suggest engineering enhancements to allow for a more efficient industrialization.<\/li>
  • Having considered the peculiarities of the product, the best production partner is selected, basing the choice on criteria such as technical fitness (capabilities) and business terms. This tasks usually takes less than 24 hours, allowing the client to receive a quotation in shortest time possible.<\/li>
  • A second verification phase is performed with the manufacturing partner: in case there are aspects to be clarified, some Engineering Questions (EQs) could be raised. At the end of the initial verifications, the start-up of the PCB production process takes place.<\/li>

      In case the printed circuit board is made up of several layers (multilayer), each one is order following the stack-up list.<\/p>

      • The process always starts from a copper laminate (core), upon wich a Pre-Preg layer is applied on both sides: it is made up of glass fibers and epoxy bromine resin, used as non-conductor and adhesive between the layers.<\/li>
      • A photographic dry film is rolled out on the copper laminate that, after being exposed to UV rays, will let the copper to only cover traces, pads and power supply areas. At every manufacturing stage a cleaning cicle is performed via caustic soda solutions.<\/li>
      • After copper etching, at the most fluid moment during hot pressure, copper is oxidised and resins are hold inside.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        Next step is the material layup, the layers are stacked up and the outer sides are covered with a copper foil. The layers are than vacuum, high temperature and high pressure laminated: during this process, heat melts and hardens the epoxy resin and the Pre-Preg, while the pressure fuses the board in the resin. Several PCBs are laminated simultaneously, separated by dividers (metal sheets), to optimize process output. Finally, the trimming removes the flash, leaving the panel clean and ready for the next step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        This is followed by the overlapping of all the inner layers, the whole is “packed,” and coated on both outer sides with a copper foil. The layers so arranged are then laminated in a vacuum, at high temperature and high pressure: during this procedure the heat melts and hardens the epoxy resin of the Pre-Preg, while the pressure engulfs the printed circuit board in the molten resin. Multiple PCBs are pressed simultaneously, separated by dividers (steel plates), to optimize the process. Final trimming removes excess material, leaving each individual PCB clean and ready for the next step. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        After lamination, inner layers are fused and thus only the outer sides are visible: the PCB is now processed as if it was a simpler single face. After having identified the registry points via X-rays, PCB panels are drilled using a CNC drilling machine. It\u2019s possible to stack-up up to three panels for a standard thickness of 1,6mm, an aluminum sheet is used as a runner and also to avoid flows, while a carboard is used at the base to protect the machinery from damages and scratches. It is critical that the drill bits used in this high-speed tool (~12.000 rpm) are constantly sharpened and serviced to gran the best precision and clear-cut in the holes. At the end of the process, the surface is cleaned using a mechanical brush, but also the holes are cleaned using oxygen plasma to remove every copper debris, granting the best electric conductivity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        During this step, a copper conductive film 0,5-0,7 \u00b5m thick is applied, the goal is to create electrical connection between the holes and the layers.

        Just as for the internal layers, after an increase in the in pressure and temperature, the surface becomes sensitive to UV rays (photographic Dry-film). Exposure, in this case, is negative and the traces can be galvanized via copper plating, instead areas between the traces are covered via a polymerized laminate.

        The electro-deposited copper is applied to all the traces and holes, granting electrical connection between the conductors on the layers. In this phase the target copper thickness is reached, it should be at least 21 microns on the inside hole surface. A second plating process is performed, the purpose is to protect the areas covered in conductive copper during the following etching phase. Often this is referred as \u201cetching resist\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
