HDI PCB Manufacturing – 10-Layer 3+4+3 HDI Board with Fine Line Capability

Project Background

Our client, a developer of compact, high-performance electronic devices, needed a high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB that could accommodate complex routing in a limited board space. The design required advanced HDI structures, fine lines, and laser-drilled microvias to achieve the required signal routing density and performance.

Key Manufacturing Challenges:

  • Complex HDI Structure: 10-layer board with 3+4+3 HDI build-up architecture

  • Ultra-Fine Lines: 2.4/2.4mil (approx. 0.061mm) line width and spacing

  • Microvia Drilling: 0.1mm laser-drilled microvias for high-density interconnections

  • Precise Impedance Control: Tight impedance tolerance requirements for signal integrity

  • High Reliability: ENIG surface finish for excellent solderability and oxidation resistance

  • Layer-to-Layer Registration: Tight alignment requirements for HDI sequential lamination

Our PCB Manufacturing Solution

AnyPCBA provided comprehensive PCB fabrication services for this HDI board, from engineering review to final electrical testing.

Our manufacturing approach included:

  • HDI Process Engineering: Designed and optimized the 3+4+3 sequential lamination process for the 10-layer structure

  • Fine Line Etching: Advanced etching process control to achieve 2.4/2.4mil line width/spacing with high yield

  • Laser Drilling: Precision CO2 laser drilling for 0.1mm microvias with controlled via wall quality

  • Impedance Control: Carefully designed stack-up and controlled etching parameters to meet tight impedance specifications

  • Sequential Lamination: Precise layer-to-layer registration control for the complex HDI build-up

  • Surface Finish: ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) for flat, oxidation-resistant surface

  • Rigorous Testing: Comprehensive electrical testing, including flying probe and impedance testing
