High quality HDI PCB Fabrication
If you thought that the manufacturing of HDI PCBs would require special equipment or additional time, you would be right, as several processes and particular equipment are needed to assemble these high-quality pcb boards. Laser drill technology is needed to drill the small micovias, which allow for additional technology on the board. The lamination process of HDI PCBs is also more complex, due to the fact they are multi-layer boards constructed with densely routed layers.
A typical PCB has one or two layers, while multilayer PCB can have up to 20 layers depending on their complexity. When it comes to HDI PCB, however, it could have as many as 40 layers which have densely mounted components, fine lines and micro vias. Some of the advantages of using HDI PCBs include:
- The ability to have several permutations and combinations when it comes to the layers.
- If you are looking for coreless designs, HDI PCBs come in handy
- With via-in pad, what you can also have is the maximum number of components in minimal number of layers.
- When it comes to mission-critical applications, The importance of HDI PCBs increase manifold.
- They offer the highest level of accuracy
- They have a better signal speed. The signal integrity is improved on account of shorter distance connections as well as lower power requirements.
- Some of the other performance improvements of HDI PCBs include stable voltage rail, lower RFI/EMI, distributed capacitance.
- It facilitates small cores and allows for fine drilling
- It also facilitates microvias
- It decreases power usage
- It is extremely cost effective
- It goes a long way in improving the overall performance of the device
- On account of the design efficiencies that HDI PCBs offer, it also allows for faster time-to-market, which is a significant source of competitive advantage in today’s times.

High quality Flexible PCB Fabrication
Some of the most common flexible PCB issues are:
Solder Mask/Coverlay Openings Not Wide Enough: Some change to the shape of flexible circuitry during fabrication is to be expected. Processes like copper plating, etching and pumice scrubbing are bound to have some effect. However, those used to designing rigid circuit boards may not allow for larger tolerances for coverlay, die cutting, stiffeners or the adhesive squeeze resulting from the coverlay dielectric lamination. Because there are so many complex processes to consider when designing a custom flexible PCB, it’s important to make sure the openings in the coverlay are wide enough.
Solder Joints Too Close to Bend Point: The point where the solder is bound to the copper trace is the solder joint, and they are much more rigid than the rest of the copper trace due to the addition of the solder. In a rigid circuit board, this is usually not an issue. In a flexible PCB board, if the solder joint is too close to where you will bend the substrate, you are going to have a cracked solder pad or lose the lamination, either of which will probably cause the board to fail.
Spacing Between Solder Pads: Since you need to make the solder mask/coverlay openings larger in a flexible PCB board, you risk exposing the edges of adjacent conductor traces when you route them too close to the solder pad. The result can be shortouts of solder bridges between connector pads or pins. It’s important to make sure you design your flexible PCB board with greater space between each solder pad and its adjacent conductive trace to account for the larger coverlay openings.
Stress Points in Conductors: A common problem that designers of rigid circuit boards often find with flexible PCB boards is in creating stress points. Trace arrangements that are perfectly suitable for rigid circuit boards, such as ones with acute junctures at the base of solder pads or sharp corners, will not work with folding, flexing flexible PCB boards once the user applies that board to their application. Whenever the user flexes that area where the stress point is, fracture or delamination is likely to occur.
Stacked Traces: It’s important to make sure the copper stays in the neutral axis of a bend. When traces on either side of the dielectric stack right on top of each other, traces on the outside of the bend radius will often crack when one bends the circuit if the traces on opposite sides are perfectly lined up. The farther the tension forces these traces away from the neutral axis of the folded area, the more likely there is to be a fracture. By designing the region as one conductive layer, you can sidestep this problem.
When it comes to avoiding flexible PCB board issues, it starts with design. You want your flex printed circuit boards designed and manufactured by flex PCB experts, who have designed these types of boards many times before and know what the correct protocols are for this particular board.
Hemeixin uses an automated flexible PCB quality management system (QMS) to ensure that the products we produce are of the highest possible quality. The QMS has many capabilities to it and the customers that tour our facility are always impressed by the way we leverage this technology. Below are a few of examples of the capabilities in our QMS system:
- Document and data control
