PCB Board Design Babak Kia Adjunct Professor Boston University College of Engineering Email: bkia -at- ENG SC757 - Advanced Microprocessor Design PCB boards What is a PCB board Printed Circuit Boards are primarily an insulating material used as base, into which conductive strips are printed The base material is generally fiberglass, and the conductive connections are generally copper and are made through an etching process The main PCB board is called the motherboard, the smaller attachment PCB boards are called daughter boards or daughter cards 1 What is PCB Board Design PCB board design defines the electrical pathways between components It is derived from a schematic representation of the circuit When it is derived, or imported from a schematic design, it translates the schematic symbols and libraries into physical components and connections Manufacturing Process Step 1: Film Generation The film is generated from the design files (gerber files) which are sent to the manufacturing house. One film is generated per layer Step 2: Raw Material Industry standard 0.059” thick, copper clad panel Manufacturing Process Step 3: Drill Holes Using NC machines and carbide drills to drill holes according to the drill spec sent to the manufacturing house Step 4: Electroless Copper
