Hi, I think if you post this case in TechNet@xxxxxxx, people at that forum can respond better. PCB fabricators mostly attend that forum.

All suggestions have been really useful. Actually this application is a printed antenna and for several reasons it is necessary to have such large thickness there are just 4 dielectric layers biut it is needed to have such large thickness. Again thanks to everyone Giancarlo ----Messaggio originale---- Da: Wolfgang.Maichen@xxxxxxxxxxxx Data: 23-nov-2011 9.22 A: <Gert.Havermann@xxxxxxxxxxx>, <gianguida@xxxxxxxx> Cc: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Ogg: [SI-LIST] Re: AW: Re: 10 mm PCB Hello Giancarlo, I guess the first question one should ask is: What is the reason for the thickness requirement? Do you need such a large number of layers (or very thick dielectrics between copper layers), or is it a purely mechanical reason, e.g. to get sufficient stiffness? If the latter, something like an aluminum stiffener conbined with a thinner board would probably be a better solution. Even if it is the number of layers, there could be ways to reduce total thickness - I have seen tester load boards that had to route several power planes as well as a couple of thousand signal lines across the board yet none of them ever exceeded about 5mm / 0.2 inches. The more we know about the application the easier it is for other people to come up with good and/or innovative suggestions you may not have thought of.

For 10mm I only know one supplier in China, and I can't recommend them for SI-PCBs. But I also can't recommend 10mm thick PCBs for SI-applications. Giancarlo, Have you thought about Multi pressing with two separate plating processes? Similar to HDI technologie, that's two ready 5mm PCBs that are bonded together with a prepreg, then the thru drill and plating of the thru vias only, and etching of the outer layer. Might be the best option for Processing and SI. BR Gert Besuchen Sie uns auf der SPS/IPC/Drives vom 22. bis zum 24.
