HDI PCB

16 Layers 3+N+3 Structure (L1-2;L1-4;L1-8;L8-9;L9-16;L13-16;L15-16) Rigid HDI PCB

Built as a 16-layer stack on FR4 TG170, this board leaves the line at 3.2 mm thickness under ENIG 1u over blue solder mask and white legend. The demanding part of this build is a 3+N+3 sequential-lamination structure, copper geometry held to 3.0 mil line width and 3.0 mil spacing, mechanical holes from 0.15 mm. The board is signed off to IPC-A-610 E Class II on outline by Rout / V-cut / Bridge / Stamp Hole and thickness to ±10%. Typical end use is video terminals.

What matters on this build

3+N+3 HDI structure

The 3+N+3 build needs sequential lamination and laser via formation; our window runs to 5+N(N+M)+5 with 1.6/1.6 mil trace.

16-layer construction, scalable to 64 layers

This part is 16-layer; the same presses run 1 to 64 layers, so a stack-up revision does not force a supplier change.

FR4 TG170 laminate

Built on FR4 TG170 — FR4 — drawn from over 120 laminate types held in the warehouse, from KB and ITEQ through Rogers, Isola and Panasonic.

3.0 mil / 3.0 mil line width and spacing

Etched to 3.0 mil width and 3.0 mil spacing here; the process floor is 2/2 mil inner at 1/3 oz copper, with ±10% accuracy on impedance layers.

ENIG 1u surface finish

Finished with ENIG 1u. ENIG 1–3 μin, ENEPIG, hard gold to 3.0 μm, immersion silver, immersion tin, OSP and lead-free HASL are all in-house.

Questions engineers ask about this board

Can this design be scaled beyond 16 layers?

Yes. This part is quoted at 16 layers and the plant fabricates 1 to 64 layers, including sequential-lamination HDI up to 5+N(N+M)+5.

Can a different laminate be substituted for FR4 TG170?

It can. FR4 TG170 is what this part is built on, but material is a design input — Rogers, Arlon, Taconic, Isola, Nelco, Panasonic, TUC, ITEQ, SYTech, Ventec and KB grades are all stocked, and customer-supplied stock is accepted.

Is ENIG 1u the only surface finish offered on this board?

No. ENIG 1u is specified here; ENIG at 1–3 μin gold, ENEPIG, hard gold to 3.0 μm, immersion silver, immersion tin, OSP and lead-free HASL are alternatives, subject to panel size limits on HASL.

What files do you need to quote this part?

Gerber RS-274X plus a drill file and a stack-up or impedance note. PowerPCB, CAD, AutoCAD, OrCAD, P-CAD, CAM-350 and CAM2000 formats are also accepted. Quotation normally comes back within 6 hours.
