With large-scale production capacity and superb technical skills, we are able to meet the diverse needs of customers worldwide.

Our Case 1:

This product is a 16-layer high-frequency HDI product that integrates both software and hardware. Its special structure is relatively complex. The multilayer stack-up includes signal layers, ground layers (GND), and power layers (GND/power). The large number of layers increases the difficulty of processes such as interlayer alignment and lamination, and also makes it difficult to control material properties. Various materials with different characteristics are used, such as Panasonic RF775 and Shengyi SF305C. Each material has distinct parameters, including dielectric constant (dk) and dissipation factor (df). In high-frequency environments, material properties must be precisely controlled to meet electrical performance requirements. The difference in thermal expansion coefficients between materials can also easily lead to issues like warpage. Via processes have extremely high requirements. There are mechanical vias and micro laser vias. The production of micro laser vias requires high-precision processes such as laser drilling, and has extremely strict demands on equipment and process control. Additionally, the aperture of mechanical via pads and the quality of hole walls can also affect the reliability of electrical connections.

Our Case 2:

This product is an 18-layer Rigid-Flex PCB that integrates both rigid and flexible structures. Its special structure is relatively complex. The multilayer stack-up includes signal layers, ground layers, and power layers in the rigid areas, as well as PI (Polyimide)-based flexible layers in the flexible areas. The large number of layers increases the difficulty of processes such as interlayer alignment and multiple lamination, and also makes it challenging to control the properties of multiple heterogeneous materials.
Various materials with distinct characteristics are used, such as FR4 TG170 for the rigid layers, PI (Polyimide) for the flexible layers, and different types of PP (e.g., 1080PP TG170, 106PP TG170). Each material has unique parameters, including dielectric constant (Dk), dissipation factor (Df), and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). In high-frequency and thermal stress environments, material properties must be precisely controlled to meet electrical performance and structural stability requirements. Differences in thermal expansion coefficients between materials can also easily lead to issues like warpage.
The process requirements are extremely high, involving multilayer alignment of rigid-flex areas, lamination of heterogeneous materials, PI coverlay lamination and copper foil etching in flexible areas, as well as drilling in rigid layers. The structural processing of flexible areas and lamination of heterogeneous materials demand ultra-high precision. The accuracy of drilling and etching processes, along with the control of lamination stress, will affect the reliability of electrical connections and the bending lifespan of the product.
