HDI PCB Manufacturing – 6-Layer 1+4+1 HDI Board with Fine Line Capability

Project Background

Our client, a manufacturer of compact electronic devices for consumer and industrial applications, needed a reliable, high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB that could support complex routing in a limited board space. The design required a standard HDI structure with fine lines and precise mechanical drilling to meet performance and cost targets.

Key Manufacturing Challenges:

  • HDI Structure: 6-layer board with 1+4+1 HDI build-up architecture

  • Fine Lines: 4/4mil line width and spacing for dense routing

  • Precision Drilling: 0.1mm minimum mechanical hole size

  • Surface Finish: ENIG for excellent solderability and oxidation resistance

  • Cost-Effective Production: Manufacturable design for medium-volume production

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: Optimized the 1+4+1 sequential lamination process for the 6-layer structure

  • Fine Line Etching: Controlled etching process to achieve 4/4mil line width/spacing with high yield

  • Precision Drilling: High-accuracy mechanical drilling for 0.1mm holes

  • Impedance Control: Carefully designed stack-up to meet impedance specifications

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

  • Cost Optimization: Design for manufacturability to ensure cost-effective medium-volume production

  • Rigorous Testing: Comprehensive electrical testing to ensure reliability
