6. • HDI PCBs capitalize on the latest technologies available to increase the functionality of PCBs using the same or less amount of area. This
advancement in PCB technology is driven by the miniaturization of components and semiconductor packages that supports advanced features in
revolutionary new products such as touch screen computing and 4G network communications.
• HDI PCBs are characterized by high-density attributes including laser microvias, fine lines and high performance thin materials. This increased density
enables more functions per unit area. Higher technology HDI PCBs have multiple layers of copper filled stacked microvias (Advanced HDI PCBs) which
creates a structure that enables even more complex interconnections. These very complex structures provide the necessary routing solutions for
today’s large pin-count chips utilized in mobile devices and other high technology products
• HDI Structures:
• 1+N+1 – PCBs contain 1 “build-up” of high-density interconnection layers.
• i+N+i (i≥2) – PCBs contain 2 or more “build-up” of high density interconnection layers. Microvias on different layers can be staggered or stacked.
Copper filled stacked microvia structures are commonly seen in demanding designs.
• Any Layer HDI – All the layers of a PCB are high density interconnection layers which allows the conductors on any layer of the PCB to be
interconnected freely with copper filled stacked microvia structures. This provides a reliable interconnect solution for highly complex large pin-count
devices, such as CPU and GPU chips utilized on handheld and mobile devices.
• Advanced Capabilities:
• Any layer HDI
• Multilayer copper filled stacked micro via structure
• 1.2/1.2 mil line/space
• 3/9 mil laser via capture pad size
• Embedded distributed and discrete passive components
• Complex rigid-flex HDI products
• Wide material and surface finish selections
• IC SUBSTRATES
• IC substrates serve as the connection between IC chip(s) and the PCB through a conductive network of traces and holes. IC substrates support critical
functions including circuit support and protection, heat dissipation, and signal and power distribution
• IC substrates represent the highest level of miniaturization in PCB manufacturing and shares many similarities with semiconductor manufacturing.
TTM produces many types of IC substrates on which IC chip(s) are attached to the IC substrate utilizing wire bonding and, or flip chip methods.
Advanced technology IC substrates that TTM manufactures include:
• CSP (Chip Scale Packages)
