Copper clad printed circuit boards, characterized by copper-clad laminates, are a crucial type of PCB substrate that plays a significant role in the manufacturing process. Due to their excellent functionality, these laminated boards are widely used in the industry, making them an ideal choice for high-frequency applications.
Copper clad printed circuit boards (PCBs) are widely used in the design of copper clad laminates. These laminates, along with reinforcing materials, are soaked in resin to create copper clad laminates. Copper clad printed circuit boards find application in computers, televisions, and other electronic devices.
The significance of copper coating lies in its ability to improve anti-interference and reduce ground wire impedance. Additionally, copper coating can reduce the voltage drop of circuit boards. Notably, the characteristic of copper-clad boards is the use of glass fiber as a reinforcing material. The lightweight, sturdy, and durable nature of these boards makes them advantageous for electromagnetic shielding. Industries, including the military, integrate this type of circuit board into their equipment.
The function of copper clad circuit boards:
1. As a substrate material in printed circuit board manufacturing, copper clad circuit boards play a crucial role in interconnecting, conducting, insulating, and supporting PCBs. They significantly impact the transmission speed, energy loss, and characteristic impedance of signals in circuits. Therefore, the performance, quality, manufacturing process, manufacturing level, manufacturing cost, and long-term reliability and stability of printed circuit boards largely depend on copper clad circuit boards.
2. The main material of a circuit board is the copper clad circuit board, a composite material composed of a non-conductive substrate (such as FR4) and one or more layers of copper foil. Copper foil is often covered on one or both sides of a non-conductive substrate for conductive connections. Copper clad circuit boards are mainly used for preparing PCB boards by providing a conductive path on the circuit board for circuits formed by etching or chemical etching methods. PCB boards are used for circuit connections and soldering in electronic devices, carrying electronic components and providing electrical connections between them.
The role of PCB copper coating:
PCB copper coating: The area filled with copper in the PCB layer, which can be the top, bottom, or any interior of the PCB stack. The PCB copper coating can be used for grounding, reference, or isolating specific components or circuits from the remaining elements of that layer.
Copper coating: The area filled with copper in the PCB layer, and copper coating with through holes can be used to help dissipate heat.
Grounding: The internal layer of a circuit board stack, filled with copper, used for signal or power grounding or reference.
Grounding copper coating: The copper coating used for grounding without occupying the entire layer.
The role of PCB copper coating:
1. Grounding on double-layer PCBs
Both layers are used for signals and there is no ground plane. For these circuit boards, copper grounding can greatly facilitate efficient wiring by providing a central grounding.
2. EMI shielding
In a good multi-layer design, having a grounding plane between two signal layers helps minimize noise. If there is an internal signal layer next to the surface signal layer, grounding with copper can help reduce noise by adding shielding.
3. Heat dissipation
Copper grounding can absorb heat from high-power components, and excess heat can be removed from the circuit board using heat-dissipation holes.
4. Copper balance
Grounding with copper coating can also achieve contract manufacturing (CM) by balancing the amount of copper on both sides of the circuit board during PCB assembly, reducing the possibility of warping during the reflow process. In this case, cross-copper barriers may be a better alternative to solid copper grounding with copper cladding.
5. Large circuit path
Adding surface-grounded copper coating can provide a shorter return path for high-current equipment, such as switch converters, instead of connecting longer wiring to the ground plane.
The copper clad circuit board is the upstream core material for PCB manufacturing. It is a plate-like material made by immersing electronic fiberglass cloth or other reinforcing materials in resin, covering one or both sides with copper foil, and hot pressing. It bears the three major functions of conductivity, insulation, and support for PCBs.
