High-precision PCB processing

High-precision PCB processing is a key technology in the field of electronic manufacturing, which directly affects the performance and reliability of electronic products. With the development of science and technology, the precision requirements for PCB boards are getting higher and higher, and high-precision PCB processing technology is becoming more and more mature. The following will introduce in detail the process of high-precision PCB processing and the matters that need to be paid attention to during the processing.

1. High-precision PCB board processing process

Material preparation: Select appropriate substrate materials, such as FR-4, CEM series, etc. The physical and chemical properties of these materials directly affect the performance of the PCB board.

Inner layer production: Transfer the designed circuit diagram to the inner layer substrate. This step usually uses laser photolithography or direct imaging technology.

Lamination: The inner layer substrate and the outer layer copper foil are laminated through a laminator to form the preliminary structure of a multi-layer PCB board.

Drilling: According to the design requirements, drill the required holes on the PCB board. These holes will be used for subsequent plug-in components or as conductive paths.

Electroplated: Electroplated the drilled holes to ensure the conductivity of the hole wall and the reliability of the connection.

Outer layer production: Make a circuit diagram on the outer layer copper foil, also using laser photolithography or direct imaging technology.

Etching: Remove excess copper foil by chemical etching to form the required circuit pattern.

Surface treatment: Treat the surface of the PCB board, such as tin spraying, OSP (organic protective film), etc., to improve its antioxidant ability and welding performance.

Assembly: solder the electronic components to the PCB board according to the design requirements to form a complete circuit.

Testing: perform functional and performance tests on the PCB board to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

2. Precautions for high-precision PCB board processing

Material selection: select the appropriate substrate material and copper foil thickness to meet high-precision requirements.

Equipment precision: use high-precision processing equipment, such as laser photoplotters, laminators, drilling machines, etc.

Process control: strictly control various process parameters during the processing, such as temperature, pressure, time, etc.

Quality inspection: perform quality inspection after each processing step to ensure timely discovery and resolution of problems.

Environmental protection: pay attention to environmental protection during the processing, reasonably handle chemical waste, and reduce the impact on the environment.

Staff training: provide professional training for operators to improve their operating skills and quality awareness.

Continuous improvement: continuously optimize the processing process, adopt new technologies and processes, and improve processing efficiency and product quality.

High-precision PCB board processing plays a vital role in many key industries. Fields such as aerospace, medical equipment, military defense, automotive electronics, communication base stations, industrial automation and high-end consumer electronics all have strict requirements on the accuracy, stability and reliability of circuit boards. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the processing process and precautions of high-precision PCB boards.

Through the detailed introduction of the above process and precautions, it can be seen that high-precision PCB board processing is a technology-intensive and complex production process. Only through strict quality control and continuous technological innovation can high-precision PCB boards that meet the requirements of modern electronic equipment be produced.
