High-density Multilayer PCBs

• Placement Feasibility – SMT Parts will not fit with room for pin escapes to PTH vias, so use VIP via in pad.

• High Speed or RF performance – unwanted parasitics or excess inductance from standard PTH vias

• Requirement for thin PCBs in some market spaces.

• Back to back large active BGA’s on both sides of PCB.

• RF on Primary Side / Digital on Secondary side

Upcoming manufacturing process development will allow circuits to be designed with  lines and spaces in the range of 1-2 mil (25-50uM) with strict impedance control

mSAP – Modified Semi-Additive Process

With mSAP, a much thinner copper layer is coated onto the laminate, and plated in the areas where the resist is not applied thus, the “additive” nature of the process. The thin copper remaining in the spaces between conductors is then etched away. Whereas trace geometries are chemically defined during subtractive processes, mSAP allows trace geometries to be defined via photolithography.

SAP – Semi-Additive Process

Although the semi-additive process (SAP) used in the IC substrate board can realize more precise circuit fabrication, but there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high and the production scale is small, thus restricted to ICs as of today

• 1. What is high density PCB?

  HDI PCBs have a higher circuitry density per unit than conventional PCBs. They use a combination of buried and blind vias, as well as microvias — those that are 0.006″ or less in diameter. High-density circuit boards are PCBs with one or more of the following features: Through vias and buried vias.

• 2. What is the difference between HDI and standard PCB?

  HDI PCBs provide higher component density on smaller, lighter boards that generally have fewer layers to them when compared with traditional PCBs. HDI PCBs use laser drilling, micro vias, and have lower aspect ratios on the vias than with standard circuit boards.

• 3. What are the advantages of HDI PCB?

  HDI boards are ideal where weight, space, reliability, and performance are primary concerns. Compact design: The combination of blind vias, buried vias, and microvias brings down the board space requirement.

• 4. Where is HDI PCB used?

  Applications include mobile /cellular phones, touch-screen devices, laptop computers, digital cameras, 4/5G network communications, and military applications such as avionics and smart munitions.
