Introduction
Hello Everyone,
Today, we’re discussing a specialized 5-layer high frequency PCB constructed using Rogers RO4003C.
This 5-layer PCB is fabricated using three cores of RO4003C, with one layer of copper etched away to create 5 layers.
In the stack-up, you can observe that three sheets of 20 mil cores form the fundamental structure. Two layers of dielectric material (prepreg) bond these cores, resulting in a robust 5-layer board. The copper weight for the inner layers is half an ounce, while the outer layers are one ounce. The final thickness of the board measures 2.1mm.
The micro-section image below provides a clearer view of the board's structure. Notably, there is no solder mask applied to the surface, and the pads are plated with immersion gold.
The stack-up of multilayer PCBs can be customized in various ways to meet specific requirements for controlled impedance and signal transmission. The RO4003C family offers an array of core thicknesses, including 8mil, 12mil, 16mil, 20mil, 32mil, and 60mil.
The fixed thickness of the core is crucial for maintaining the electrical length of RF lines on the circuit board.
We offer a diverse selection of high frequency materials, including Rogers 4000 series, 3000 series, 5000 series, and 6000 series, as well as Taconic TLX and TLY series, and the Chinese F4B series.
