Hi, We have designed a PCI based board which has 4-Spartan3 FPGAs. ( FF1152 package - plastic pack) The PCB size is 210 mm by 170 mm The layer stack is as follows. 0.0325 Copper palting layer 1 5.5 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.0175 Copper foil layer 1 0.0940 Prepreg 1 - 2 0.0350 Copper foil layer 2 plane 0.1524 Core 2 - 3 0.0350 Copper foil layer 3 5 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.1778 Prepreg 3 - 4 0.0350 Copper foil layer 4 plane 0.1016 Core 4 - 5 0.0350 Copper foil layer 5 4.4 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.0940 Prepreg 5 - 6 0.0350 Copper foil layer 6 4.4 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.1016 Core 6 - 7 0.0350 Copper foil layer 7 plane 0.1016 Prepreg 7 - 8 0.0350 Copper foil layer 8 4.5 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.0762 Core 8 - 9 0.0350 Copper foil layer 9 4.5 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 0.1016 Prepreg 9 - 10 0.0350 Copper foil layer 10 plane 0.0762 Core 10 - 11 0.0350 Copper foil layer 11 plane 0.0940 Prepreg 11 - 12 0.0175 Copper foil layer 12 0.0325 Copper plating layer 12 5.5 mil trace width, 50 ohms single ended 1.6209 Total PCB thickness in mm The problem we are facing is that there is excessive warping of the PCB during assembly. we tried chaning the stack, and are now contemplating copper balance / copper fill on all layer.? Could any one please throw light on what could be the problem, as we have taken 3-trials and all have failed. Please guide. with warm regards Rakesh Mehta ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
