Stress analysis of plated-through-holes in rigid flex multilayer printed wiring boards

Conference Burchett, S

A rigid/flex printed wiring board is a hybridized system of wiring interconnects utilizing the concepts of both multilayer and flexible circuit technology. This type of printed wiring board offers significant advantages in the production of complex electronic assemblies. In contrast to standard printed wiring board assemblies which are homogeneous in material composition, rigid/flex assemblies have a combination of different laminates, films, and adhesives arranged to accomplish the electrical and mechanical design goals. After lamination, the circuit layers are interconnected using plated-through-hole technology. Associated with the plated-through-holes are at least two observed failure modes, barrel cracks and inner layer foil cracks,more »« less

Thermal tests of MC3811 rigid/flex printed wiring boards

Technical Report Gentry, F

Rigid/flex multilayer printed wiring boards are more sensitive to thermal environmental changes than conventional printed wiring boards. This is manifested because of a composition of dissimilar materials used within the construction of this type of product. During fabrication and assembly, stresses can develop within the plated-through holes from differences in thermal properties of the rigid and flexible materials, primarily thermal coefficient of expansion. Thermal shock and thermal stress tests and rework simulation as defined in MIL-P-50884 have been performed in this study as indicators of processing quality to detect faults and to verify improvements in board reliability. 3 refs., 17more » figs., 3 tabs.« less

Development and process control for rigid/flex, multilayer printed wiring boards

Technical Report Gentry, F

Rigid/flex multilayers require certain unique processing parameters not common to conventional printed wiring products: special machining of windows, the use of no-flow prepreg adhesives, plasma etching of nonhomogeneous material compositions, and more stringent plating controls. Performance of these products can be predicted by modeling studies and verified by physical testing. Thermophysical characteristics are described as well as the establishment of rigid/flex capabilities in a development laboratory. The actual fabrication processing steps are also described for high-reliability, six-layer rigid/flex boards whose two center layers are flexible circuitry.
Roll-to-Roll 3D Printing of Flexible Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards

Technical Report Barton, Jonathon

The purpose of this Phase I SBIR project is to investigate roll-to-roll multilayer high-resolution printing processes for additive and subtractive manufacturing of large-format nuclear physics detector structures such as gaseous electron multipliers (GEMs). Such devices are key components in a number of different systems supporting nuclear physics experiments, in particular, DOE supported national laboratories such as Jefferson Laboratories, Michigan State/FRIB, Brookhaven, and CERN would benefit from a commercial availability of particle detectors. Experimental high-energy physics (HEP) programs, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RICH), the International Linear Collider (ILC) and others, are driving newmore »« less
