Material Composition

This PCB features a unique construction combining RO4350B and S1000-2M materials.

- RO4350B: This material is renowned for its high-frequency performance and stability. It is a woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic laminate that provides a dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.48 ±0.05 at 10GHz, ensuring minimal signal loss. With a thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) closely matching that of copper, it guarantees excellent dimensional stability, which is crucial for multi-layer designs.
 

- S1000-2M: This material enhances mechanical robustness and thermal resistance, boasting a Tg of 180°C. Its lower Z-axis CTE contributes to improved reliability in through-hole connections, making it ideal for high-frequency and high-power applications.

Layer Structure

The PCB is composed of four layers, each meticulously designed for optimal performance:

Copper_layer_1 - 35 μm
RO4350B - 0.254 mm (10mil)
Copper_layer_2 - 35 μm
Prepreg - 1080 RC63% +7628 (43%) -0.254mm (10mil)
Copper_layer_3 - 35 μm
S1000-2M - 0.8 mm (31.5mil)
Copper_layer_4 - 35 μm

This stackup allows for efficient heat dissipation and signal integrity, critical for modern electronic devices.
