Category:

14-layer Rogers RO4003C PCB for manufacturing in the USA. This is a highly specialized and advanced PCB design suitable for high-frequency applications.

Rogers RO4003C Material: Rogers RO4003C is a high-performance thermoset laminate designed for high-frequency circuit applications. Key characteristics include:

  1. Low dielectric constant (Dk ≈ 3.38 at 10 GHz)
  2. Low loss tangent (Df ≈ 0.0027 at 10 GHz)
  3. Excellent thermal stability
  4. Good dimensional stability
  5. Compatible with standard FR-4 processes

14-Layer PCB Structure: A 14-layer PCB using Rogers RO4003C is a complex structure typically used in high-performance RF and microwave applications. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Layer Stack-up: The exact stack-up will depend on the specific design requirements, but it might look something like this:

    • Layers 1 & 14: Signal layers (RO4003C)
    • Layers 2 & 13: Ground planes
    • Layers 3-12: Mix of signal and power/ground layers

  2. Thickness: The overall thickness can vary, but it’s typically between 2.0mm to 3.5mm, depending on the individual layer thicknesses and prepreg choices.

  3. Controlled Impedance: Critical for high-frequency applications, usually 50 Ohm or 75 Ohm depending on the application.

  4. Via Structure:

    • Through-hole vias
    • Blind vias (potentially)
    • Buried vias (potentially)

  5. Copper Thickness: Typically 0.5 oz to 1 oz (17μm to 34μm) for inner layers, and 1 oz to 2 oz for outer layers.

Applications: This type of PCB is commonly used in:

  1. Aerospace and defense systems
  2. High-speed digital systems
  3. RF and microwave equipment
  4. Satellite communications
  5. Test and measurement equipment

Manufacturing in the USA: The USA has several manufacturers capable of producing high-layer count, high-frequency PCBs using Rogers materials. Here are some considerations:

  1. Expertise: Look for manufacturers with specific experience in Rogers materials and high-layer count RF boards.

  2. Equipment: Ensure they have the necessary equipment for precise layer alignment and impedance control.

  3. Certifications: Check for relevant certifications such as ISO 9001, AS9100 (for aerospace), and IPC class 3 capabilities.

  4. Testing Capabilities: In-house testing for high-frequency performance is crucial.

  5. Design Support: Given the complexity, design support can be valuable.

  6. Prototyping: Ability to produce prototypes before full production run.

  7. Sourcing: Ensure they can reliably source Rogers RO4003C material.

When manufacturing this type of PCB in the USA, you’ll want to work closely with the manufacturer to ensure they can meet the tight tolerances and performance requirements of high-frequency PCBs. Some key points to discuss with potential manufacturers include:

  1. Experience with Rogers RO4003C material
  2. Ability to maintain consistent dielectric thickness
  3. Precision in drilling and registration for all 14 layers
  4. Capability to achieve and verify controlled impedance
  5. Experience with high-frequency testing and verification

Remember that the exact layer stack-up and design will depend on your specific application and requirements. It’s often beneficial to consult with the PCB manufacturer early in the design process to ensure manufacturability and optimal performance.
