PCB board copper clad laminate is a substrate material used for making printed circuit boards, supporting components while enabling electrical connections or insulation. The manufacturing process involves impregnating materials like glass fiber cloth or paper with adhesives such as epoxy or phenolic resin, followed by lamination with copper foil and application of heat and pressure to create the final laminate.

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) play a crucial role in electronic devices, serving as foundational infrastructure for connecting and transmitting electrical signals among electronic components. They are typically composed of materials like fiberglass and copper foil, offering excellent conductivity and mechanical properties. PCB design considerations include circuit connectivity, layout, and thermal management. Effective PCB layouts can minimize electromagnetic interference and signal delay, thereby enhancing overall device reliability and stability. Strict quality control and production processes are vital during PCB manufacturing to ensure high performance and extended product lifespan, ultimately influencing the overall quality and reliability of electronic devices.
The structure of a PCB consists of two main parts: a substrate made from engineering plastics with excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties, and a circuit layer comprising copper foil, engraved according to design specifications to form the core circuit.
In general, the pressing process does not affect the bonding force between the copper foil and the substrate in the laminate, but contamination or damage during lamination can result in insufficient bonding and poor peeling strength, leading to potential copper wire fall-off. In addition, the use of poor quality foil or mismatched copper foil and resin can also lead to inadequate peeling strength and copper wire shedding.
Copper foil over-etching in PCB fabrication can be caused by changes in specifications without adjusting etching parameters, poor drying after etching, local collisions during the PCB process, and unreasonable circuit design. This can result in excessive corrosion, separation of the zinc layer, and copper wire fall-off.
Flexible circuit manufacturing involves fewer fabrication steps than rigid PCBs, including adhesive/seed finishing, adding copper foil, drilling, through-hole plating, etch-resist printing, etching and stripping, coverlay or covercoat, cutting out the flex, and component assembly.
