Introduction

A PCB is printed circuit board,

also known as a printed wiring board. It is
used in electronics to build electronic
devices. A PCB serves 2 purposes in the
construction of an electronic device. It is a
place to mount the components it provides
the means of electrical connection between
the components.


A PCB populated
with the electronic
components and is a printed
circuit assembly(PCA),also
known as a printed circuit
board assembly(PCBA).

Steps in PCB Circuit Board Manufacturing

1)Film Generation
Films for all of the copper and soldermask layers are made from
photographically exposed mylar.
2)Select Raw Material
Industry standard 0.059" thick FR-4 laminate copper clad on two sides.
3)Drill Holes
Through holes required are created from your submitted files for your PCB
design, using NC drill machines and carbide drill bits.
4)Electroless Copper
In order for the through holes to electrically connect to the different layers of
the PCB,a thin layer of copper is a chemically deposited into the through holes. This
copper will later be thickened through electrolytic copper plating.
5)Apply Photo-resist and Image
To transfer the PCB design from the electronic CAD data to the physical
circuit board.
6)Pattern Plate
This step is an electrochemical process which builds copper thickness
into the holes and onto the surface of the PCB.

7)Strip & Etch

This process takes place in multiple steps.The first is to
chemically remove the photo resist from the panel.
8)Soldermask
Next we coat the entire panel with a liquid soldermask
layer.Using films and high intensity UV light we expose the solderable
areas of the PCB.
9)Nomenclature(silkscreen)
Next we print the reference designators, logos and the other
information contained in the electronic files,onto the panel.
10)Surface Finish Applied
This surface finish is used to protect the copper from
oxidation as well as a site for soldering of components to the PCB.
11)Fabrication
We route the perimeter of the PCB from the larger panel using NC
equipment.
We can assemble up to 400mm*400mm without any difficulty.
We can provide a DFM report for all new products assembled at Triode.If
you would like a pre-job review, contact us and one of our Process
Engineers will review your products.
