The PCBs must meet the minimum criteria of high quality for manufacturing and installing circuit cards. The classification is based on criteria and specifications for procedures and reliability assumptions. PCB Production is the same for all groups.
Step 1. Imagery: The first step of PCB Manufacturing involves creating an image. This is not just for the top and bottom of the board, but also for the inner layers of a multilayer layout. The copper layer has been covered with photoresist, and then exposed to light.
Step 2. Etching (Inner layers): Etching is a procedure that removes copper from all surfaces except for traces and other conductor factors. Ammonia is usually used.
Step 3. Piling: In this step, circuit board layers are stacked, aligned, and heated-pressed together.
Step 4. Exploration: Through Openings and Mounting openings are drilled into these layers. Here, it is important to adhere to the element proportions and follow the correct boring procedures.
Step 5. Etching (External layers): Remove the excess copper and photoresist from the outer layers.
Step 6. PCB Plating: Exploration holes with copper plating allow current to flow between layers.
Step 7. Solder Mask: Solder masks are polymer films that protect non-conductive surfaces. They can be black, red or yellow.
Step 8. Silk Screen Application: Labels, polarity indicators, pin one indicators, and other information are printed onto the surface of boards. Inkjet printers are usually used to apply these.
Step 9. Add Surface Finish: The primary purpose of the surface coating is to protect copper surfaces from environmental dangers. This includes moisture and oxidation.
PCB assembly (PCBA) is the soldering of parts onto the board. This should not be confused as PCB processing, where the board is left bare or . PCBA production is heavily dependent on centimeters and devices. The layout choices you make will determine the quality of your board.
