PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE

ISO 9001:2015

About MOS

6

MOS Electronic has more than three decades of experience in the production of printed circuits. Cooperation with our partners in the Far East enables us to sup-ply all types of printed circuit boards in any quantity. From prototypes to mass production - All from a single source. The process of developing prototypes often results in requirements which do not actually apply until mass production starts a long time later. Our claim that we are “always one step ahead” ensures that your projects today feature the technology of tomorrow. After all, our slogan is:

» Printed circuit board technology for the future «

The quality standards of our products are an integral part of our corporate phi-losophy. Ever since the company was founded it has been our aim to maintain production at the highest possible technological standard. Continuous new in-vestments and product improvements are one of the main reasons behind our success. Our express service was fi rst launched at MOS in 1985. Express pro-duction jobs for prototypes but also for emergency production of large quantities and deliveries straight to the assembly belt have long been part of our everyday work - all in standard quality of course. Our wide range of references, for example from the motor industry, document our absolute reliability and professionalism, supported by our extremely fl exible team composed of around 70 employees, most of whom have been with us for years.

Our manufacturers are at least certifi ed to ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and ISO 14001. In addition to products which are fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free processes, generally all products are also UL-licensed. In addition we have also been able to supply UL-licensed products for the Canadian market since 2009.

We use an extremely professional procedure for selecting our partners. We have at least one „second source“ for every technology. During our regular site audits, in addition to qualifi cation we also pay increased attention to the company‘s environ-mental policy.

We have been working with specifi c Asian mass manufacturers since 2005 which now enables us to supply printed circuit boards in all standard sizes. As a result of our experience and competence as a printed circuit board specialist we are also able to manufacture even complex products at our contract partners in the Far East. Our familiarity with their production systems and process enable us to cre-ate solutions for the cost-optimised mass production of critical products as early as the sample phase, working close with our partners.

Take advantage of our long term experience with mass manufacturers from the Far East. We will take care of all the organisation for you. Before we deliver any products to our customers all the consignments from our partners are subjected to extensive receiving inspection and testing procedures.

MOS Electronic has been supplying soldermask in every conceivable colour for many years. ELPEMER SD 2431 HG (magenta colours) supplied by Peters is new at MOS. The initial colour samples caused a great deal of discussion when Peters appeared at the Productronica 2011 exhibition in Munich. „Like our other colours, this product features high colour stability. The special magenta colour was developed at the request of MOS Electronic. The aim of MOS is to highlight its corporate design to an even great extent in its product portfolio. Magenta - a colour than stands for quality.” (Source: LPinfos 3/2011, customer journal pub-lished by the PETERS Group)

Different applications require different base materials.The following material types are used at MOS:

• Low, mid and high TG FR4• Materials for high frequency applications (for example Rogers, Nelco, etc.)• Halogen-free materials• Polyimide / Glass-reinforced polyimide• Tefl on• Ceramic-fi lled materials• IMS (aluminium, copper, brass, etc.)• Special materials if requested by customers

Base materials are classifi ed by their thermal, electrical and mechanical properties.

Thermal properties• Glass transition temperature (TG)• Delamination time

(at 260°C and 288°C)• Expansion properties

(CTE in x, y, and z)• Resistance in cycle tests• Heat conductivity in W/mK

Mechanical properties• Elasticity• Bending strength

On the following pages we would like to give you more details about the standard materials we use. All the standard materials we use are suitable for lead-free soldering processes. Thermally conductive materials are listed in the special IMS section starting on page 46.

Impedance models

In practice a range of impedance calculation models are used depending on the specifi c requirements. The following provides details of four commonly used models.

Coated microstripIndividual impedance-controlled conductors on the external layers.

Main factors:- Distance from reference surface (H1)- Printed conductor width (W1)- Dielectric constant (εr) of the

materials used

Edge coupled coated microstripImpedance-controlled conductors in pairs on the external layers.

Main factors:- Distance from reference surface (H1)- Printed conductor width (W1)- Printed conductor spacing (S1)- Dielectric constant (εr) of the

materials used

Offset striplineIndividual Impedance-controlled conductors on the internal layers with two reference surfaces.

Main factors:- Distance from reference surfaces

(H1 and H2)- Printed conductor widths (W1 and W2)- Dielectric constant (εr) of the

materials used23

The properties of a printed circuit board are determined not least by its layer structure. The layer structure influences the impedances, for example. The following contains a list of standard prepreg types used by MOS:

• 106• 1080• 2113• 2116• 7628

Other types possible on request. The min. core thickness is 50 µm. Total thick-nesses from 0.2 mm to 6.0 mm are possible (10.0 mm when joined).

Layer structures

Impedance test

The impedances on the printed circuit board are primarily determined by the PCB layout, the layer structure and the dielectric constant of the materials used. The customer's impedance defi -nitions are generally checked in terms of their feasibility depending on the oth-

er outline conditions using a calcula-tion system (POLAR) and solutions are suggested if necessary. The tolerances are generally checked with a tolerance of +/-10%. However, tolerances of up to +/-5% are also possible to order.

One factor which may result in undesirable differences in impedances is metallised copper layers (for example on the external layers) since they may feature irregularities in terms of their layer thickness. We recommend that impedance-controlled conductors are used on non-metallising internal layers.

We recommend that symmetrical layer structures are used to prevent pos-sible torsion and curvature.

Via fi lling

Applications

Plugging and metallising external through-contacts(Via in pad technology)This applications allows vias to be placed directly on a pad. The plugging proc-ess prevents air inclusions, for example. Can also be used for blind boreholes. Copper thickness in the sleeve: 15 μm min. (standard). Copper cover: 10μm min. (standard, the base copper thickness may have to be reduced).

Plugging internal boreholes (buried vias)Unfi lled internal vias can cause sinks on the external layers of air inclusions, for example. This can be prevented by plugging the buried vias.

Plugging and metallising internal boreholes (buried vias)The metallising process enables blind vias to be stacked (stacked vias).

The via is sealed on one side (Type IV a) or on both sides (Type IV b) with a via fi ller print using the screen printing method before the soldermask process. The via fi ller print consists of the same

contents (predominantly resin) as the soldermask. Vias fi lled using Type IV are gas-tight, their surfaces are not 100% planar.

Via fi lling to IPC 4761

If there is noting in the PCB specifi ca-tion, the residual rings of the vias, as long as they are not exposed for data purposes, are covered with soldermask without fi lling the vias, MOS Electronic can provide several via fi ller types to comply with IPC 4761.

Please note: Types III, V and VI are not used as standard by MOS. Depending on the manufacturer, however, other via fi ller types may be preferred by oth-er companies in the MOS Group.

As a result of the ever increasing den-sity of connections, so-called via hole plugging has become a key process in SBU technology. Both blind boreholes and through boreholes can be sealed with no air bubbles (also sequentially /

partially). The sealed boreholes can be metallised as an option. Hole diam-eters of 0.15 - 3.5 mm with an aspect ratio of max. 1:8 are possible (special sizes to order).

Press-fi t technology

Press-fi t technology is a technology for solder-free electrical connections be-tween components and printed circuit boards. The press-fi t pin is pressed into an interlayer connection borehole. There are two types of press-fi t tech-nology which differ by the way in which the press-fi t forces are absorbed.

In fl exible or elastic press-fi t technology the forces are absorbed by the press-fi t pin. If solid press-fi t pins are used, the retaining force is created by the deformation of the copper sleeve. Both methods produce a gas-tight, electrical connection.

Parameters for the printed circuit board• Drilling or milling tolerances• Tolerance of the fi nal hole diameter• Copper sleeve• Final surface• Thickness of the PCB and copper

thickness

Benefi ts of press-fi t technology• No thermal stress on the printed

circuit board or modules which have already been fi tted

• Gas-tight connection• Can be repaired• No solder bridges• No fl ux residues and therefore

no cleaning required• No additional fastening of the

components required39

A white plugging paste is used for the via hole plugging process.Its properties are as follows:

• Good adhesion between copper and paste even when affected by temperature• Good adhesion of copper, dielectrics and photoresist• No air inclusions in the paste• TG > 140°C• CTE < 50 ppm (below TG)• No shrinkage during curing• Solder bath resistance to IPC-SM-840 C• UL listing, RoHS compliance

We can provide copper-fi lled blind vias in addition to via fi lling to IPC 4761. Copper hole fi lling is possible for hole diameters from 70 μm to 150 μm (microvias, aspect ratio 1:1 max.). The benefi ts over to via hole plugging are as follows:

• Greater stability• No mechanical stress on the surface (no grinding process)• Copper layer in the sleeve > 25 μm since only one metallising process

is required• Higher TG (TG depends on the base material used)

Press-fi t technology

In contrast to fl exible press-fi t tech-nology the pin is solid (generally with a rectangular or square design). The press-fi t pin has a larger circumferen-tial diameter than the interlayer con-

nection borehole. During the pressing in process the copper sleeve in the PCB is deformed which creates the press contact and the gas-tight elec-trical connection.

Properties• High requirements on the PCB in terms of drilling diameter

(+0.025 / -0.025 mm) and hole copper (min. 30 µm / max. 60 µm)• High current capacity (>300 A)• High resistance to vibrations and dirt• Mechanically more stable compared to solder connections, high

mechanical stresses possible (torques, etc.)

The main criterion for a good press contact for the printed circuit board is primarily the tolerance of the borehole diameter before plating and compli-ance with the specifi ed copper thick-ness in the sleeve. Immersion tin is recommended as the final surface. A single press-fi t pin typically has a retaining force of > 100 N.

Example of solid press-fi t technology – Würth Elektronik power elements

41

Press-fi t technology

Pins with a recess in the press-in zone are used for fl exible press-fi t technol-ogy. The pin has a larger diameter at this point than the interlayer connection borehole. The recess creates a spring effect which in turn produces the retain-ing force of the press-in connection.

The main criterion for a good press contact for the printed circuit board is primarily the tolerance of the fi nal hole diameter (typically +0.09 / -0.06 de-pending on manufacturer).

The copper sleeve should have a thick-ness of at least 25 µm (possibly plus the fi nal surface, see data sheet from the component manufacturer). Immersion tin is recommended as the fi nal surface.

ApplicationsFor example plug connectors for signal distribution, not for high current applica-tions.

MOS Electronic GmbH printed circuit boards have been successfully qualifi ed by Würth Elektronik for processing Würth Elektronik power elements. The satisfy the required printed circuit board specifi cations and have passed the current capacity tests.

Printed circuit boards must satisfy the following specifi cations for processing power elements from Würth Elektronik: The current capacity of the power ele-ments must always be regarded in the context of the system as a whole since it depends on the design and pin layout

of the power elements and the layout of the printed circuit board. The tests conducted on them showed that, for example, the combination of "2-layer 70 µm fi nal copper PCB" and "Power One, 20 pins, all-round" can withstand currents of up to 300 A.

Specifi c requirements for the printed circuit boards

Press-fi t technology

Würth Elektronik is an all-round spe-cialist in press-fi t technology. This is backed by more than 25 years of ex-pertise, lots of in-house developments, patents and experience in processing all conventional press-in zones from fl exible and knurled to square or rec-tangular.

Würth Elektronik supplies a wide range of power elements with press-fi t tech-nology. They are used for the supply and distribution of high currents in sys-tems based on printed circuit boards. They are also ideal for use as connec-tion elements for fuses, IGBTs, switch-es and cables on the printed circuit board or as connection elements from PCB to PCB or PCB to housing.

Power elements are available in vari-ous designs whose design and dimen-sions can be confi gured to suit specifi c needs. The solid power elements are available in the form of single-piece (PowerOne), two-piece (PowerTwo) or plug-in (PowerRadsok, PowerLamella or PowerBasket) power elements.

The punches PowerPlus and Power-Plus SMD power elements and the flexible PowerFlex power elements round off the range.

Press-fi t elements are often used for applications relating to signal distribu-tion, power consumption and high cur-rent applications. MOS Electronic has a wide range of productions and mas-

sive experienced in the production of high compatibility printed circuit boards. The MOS Group (Far East) can also provide all technologies.

Application and capabilities

Product features• Printed circuit board thickness up to 6 mm, up to 10 m within the MOS Group• Copper thicknesses of up to 400 µm are possible• Max. PCB size: 580 x 427 mm (1 and 2 layers) or 577 x 419 mm (multilayer),

1200 x 700 mm within the MOS Group, special sizes available on request.

Press-fi t technology

Properties• Durable, breakable connection using high current contact elements• High current applications for 100 to 600 A using connection plates allows

current of well over 1000 A to be transferred to the printed circuit board.• High requirements on the PCB in terms of drilling and milling diameter

(+/-0.025 mm) and hole copper (min. 25 µm / max. 45 µm)

The press-fi t pins have a round, serrat-ed shape so that the entire contact sur-face area of the copper sleeve is avail-able for contacting purposes. Broxing power clamps for press-fi t technology are available in a range of versions. The press-fi t boreholes for the B, N and L series can be fully drilled. How-ever, the H and D series require press-fi t boreholes with a diameter of up to

22.15 mm which means that they can-not be drilled any further. MOS Elec-tronic has developed a special, reliable process for these requirements which allows compliance with the tolerance and coating thickness requirements to be guaranteed. Immersion tin (recom-mended), HAL or chemical Ni/Au may be used as the fi nal surface.

IMS

A solid aluminium or copper plate is generally used as the metal substrate.

The surface and hole walls (if neces-sary) of the metal are coated with a lay-er of insulation. Thermally conductive prepregs (which contain ceramic) are generally used as the dielectric. This gives the product high thermal conduc-

tivity (or fast temperature spread) com-bined with good electrical insulation.

The classic version is a single-sided base material with a metal substrate on the underside. However, 2 or multiple-layer versions with interlayer connec-tions are also possible (metal substrate on the inside or outside.

Properties• High thermal conductivity• Low z-axis expansion• High mechanical strength• Low moisture absorption

Benefi ts of copper over aluminium• The physical properties of copper are better suited to mixed structures

in terms of its coeffi cient of expansion and elasticity.• Higher thermal and electrical conductivity• Higher voltage strength• Surfaces suitable for soldering can be applied

47

IMS

Printed circuit boards with a metal core are enjoying increasing popular-ity wherever high temperatures must be dissipated through the PCB, for example for LED and high power ap-plications.

The following rule of thumb applies for LED applications: A rise in operating temperature by 10°C means 50% short-er service life. However a metal core can also be extremely benefi cial for high mechanical stresses or high require-ments relating to dimensional stability.

The bending process must always be carried out in controlled conditions using a bending tool so that the copper is not damaged (layout side).

IMS

All IMS materials are pressed in-house by MOS, no prefi nished materials are used as standard. This ensure maxi-mum fl exibility in the material confi gu-ration. The dielectrics used have heat conductivity values between 1.6 and 4.2 W/mK (for comparison: 0.2-0.4 W/mK on the standard FR 4). Aluminium or copper in thicknesses between 0.4 mm and 3.0 mm (> 3.0 mm on request) is

generally used as the metal substrate, but other substrates such as brass as also possible. Copper is recommended for multiple-layer applications as a result of the "proximity" of the physical proper-ties to the PCB. As a result of high raw material prices and high weight, how-ever, aluminium is typically used.

The single-layer IMS board

The single-sided IMS board is the classic version on which the metal substrate on the underside is exposed. A tool with 1.0 mm should be selected as the minimum borehole diameter. The smallest cutter which can be used as standard should not be smaller than 2.0 mm. Special parameters are possible subject to certain condi-tions on request.

With single-layer IMS boards it should be ensured that the hole walls of boreholes through the metal substrate are exposed, or in other words are not insulated. Al-though insulation is feasible, it is also very expensive.

53

IMS

DesignsIn general all technologies which are familiar from conventional printed cir-cuit boards can be used. However, you should know that the metal substrate must initially be insulated for interlayer connections, for example, so as not to short circuit the entire system. There are restrictions for the mechanical ma-chining. Possible special techniques for IMS boards include blind and bur-ied vias, for example. To achieve even better heat dissipation, partial cavities

(cleared or copper and prepreg) may be inserted to connect components which develop high temperature direct to the metal substrate. The component may be connected to the higher cop-per for this technology, for example, using a bonding process. In the event of space problems, deep cuts into the metal substrate may be made and then insulated. Combination with flexible materials is also possible.

Thick-Copper technologies become more and more important for power electro-nics. Technology drivers are for example topics such as electric mobility and wind power. Besides high voltage uses, thick-copper technology can also be used for heat dissipation. MOS Electronic GmbH has many years of experience with engineering, prototypes and series manufacturing of thick-copper boards up to 400µm copper thickness.

You must keep an eye on heat dissipation when processing further (through heating problems). The allowed thickness of soldermask on the copper must be increased, if thick-copper is used on outer layer, in order to provide enough edge coverage. When using thick-copper, layer construction and copper distribution play a major role regarding dimensional stability and prevention of delamination. We will be happy to consult you personally about product design.

Characteristics:

• Very robust Design• Well shielding of signal installations• High currents possible (several 100 Amperes at a copper thickness of 400µm)• Good heat splay• Standard components usable• Replaces stamped grids

IMS

Other heat dissipation methodsIn addition to using IMS materials, there are other methods of dissipating heat.• Radiation• Convection• Heat conduction (external coolers, heatsinks, copper inlays, heat dissipation

through thick copper or thermal vias)

The range of versions can also be combined.

?!What does this mean for processing fl exible circuits?

Since this property has been known for at least 20 years, all processing business have adjusted to it.Polyimide is hydroscopic and there-fore absorbs moisture (water). When this water is heated to over 100°C it turns to water vapour and therefore requires a considerably large volume. If it is heated very quickly (soldering process) this may result in the vapour pressure destroying the adhesion be-tween the various layers (polyimide, adhesive and copper) - in other words delamination.This means that the product must be dried (tempering process) before the soldering process. After drying the PCBs must be processed within 2 - 6 hours or placed in temporary storage in a dry place.

As a result of the high moisture ab-sorption of polyimide the PCBs must be dried (using a tempering process) before the soldering process.

Processing instructions (tempering process)

Drying fl exible PCBs made of poly-imide As the diagram shows, polyimide ab-sorbs up to 3% water from the sur-rounding atmosphere.

So-called flexible coatings (flexible soldermask, for example Peters type 2463) are also used.

Low cost PET material can be used in cases where a fl exible PCB is used as a pure connecting element between two connectors and not soldered with normal standard soldering systems. PEN or polyimide must be used as soon as SMD components must be fi tted and soldered automatically. The decisive criterion in this respect is the machine equipment and the solder you plan to use. PEN can be used with suit-able machines and automatic solder-ing. Polyimide has a clear advantage in this case. This material is suitable for all standard leaded and unleaded

soldering processes (wave soldering, manual soldering and vapour phase soldering).

It is often the adhesive system in the fl exible base materials which deter-mines with fl exible PCBs (made of PEN or polyimide) are suitable for use in the fi eld in high temperatures.

The stresses to which fl exible PCBs are exposed in the fi eld and during processing determine the choice of the base material.

Flex-rigid technology

If the layout is designed correctly the soldering eye areas should be as large as possible to ensure that the cover foil or coating covers the soldering eye. This is particularly necessary on 1-lay-er fl exible PCBs. On 2-layer interlayer connectors PCBs the soldering eyes are connected from the top to the bot-tom by the interlayer connection sleeve like a rivet and thus well secured.

Soft transitions from narrow to wide conductors are the best way of ensur-ing conductor structures which are no sensitive to fracturing.

Sharp corners in the etched conductor act like a notch in metal. If a compo-nent of this type is bent, the should in the conductor could become an obvi-ous place to fracture.

The transition from narrow to wider conductors at a 90° angle should al-ways be achieved using adequately large radii.

69

Flex-rigid technology

Design information

Layout design (conductive pattern)

Flexible PCBs are used for a wide range of purposes and in many ap-plications they are stressed dynami-cally with up to several million bending cycles. In many other cases fl exible PCBs are installed in miniature hous-ings with minimal bending radii. The conductor layout is expected to be able to withstand all these stresses without suffering damage.

If certain basic rules are observed dur-ing the creation of a layout, this sets in place an important foundation for the successful use of fl exible PCBs.

Examples

Conductor connectors at soldering eyes should always be droplet shaped and rounded. As large a soldering eye area as possible will help to anchor the soldering eyes on the fl exible base ma-terials better.

Soldering eyes which are too small have a poor connection to the fl exible base material. This may result in the solder-ing eyes peeling off the base material. A conductor fracture at the transition be-tween the soldering eye and conductor is possible if the conductor connection is very narrow and subjected to stress.

Here, too, the sharp edges in the 90° angle act like notches in metal. There is a risk of fractures at these point if the component is bent.

If SMD components are fi tted to fl exible PCBs it is advisable to reinforce these zones with 0.125 mm polyimide foil or 0.5 mm FR4. This prevents the compo-nent zone being bent which may dam-age the soldering points.

Conductor connections to SMD pads must be as far removed from the bend-ing zone as possible. SMD pads are extended under the cover foil to pro-vide better anchoring. 90° conductor kinks are allowed in this zone since they are reinforced with polyimide or FR4. SMD pads are only designed in nominal form in this layout which means that no additional anchoring is achieved. The bending zone (yellow) is too close to the SMD pads which means that there is a very great risk of fractures at the conductor connection to the two right-hand SMD pads.

If fl exible PCBs are slit, for example to bend two fl exible arms in different directions, an additional copper track must be fi tted both for a zero cut (left picture) and for a slit (right picture) to prevent tearing. The zero cut should also end in a borehole. The internal corners of the slit must be as large as possible in the form of a radius. These precautions prevent the fl exible PCBs tearing at the points described when subjected to mechanical stresses.

Partial cover foil and partial solder-mask

The partial cover foil overlaps the sol-dermask applied previously. Set back the soldermask by at least 0.4 mm from the transition edge.

There must be no interlayer connectedboreholes or soldering eyes in the over-lap zone. Overcoating or coverage is not permitted.

An adhesive fl ow occurs during the lamination of cover foils. The adhesive fl ow is transparent and therefore not al-ways visible.

It is not possible to provide a cover with a fi nal surface in this zone and it must therefore be included in the resid-ual ring design. See diagram entitled "Parameters for cover foils (Coverlay)"

Cover foil

Partial cover foilWhen tacking the cover foil on to fl ex-ible materials marks for registration are placed outside the PCB contour. This must also be given due consideration in the usage design.

Design of the connector zone when using fl exible soldermask or cover foil

The pins must be covered with solder-mask or cover foil to avoid the risk of fracture. At least 0.35 mm of the pins should be covered as a result of pos-sible offset when tacking the cover foil or positioning the fl exible soldermask.

Dimension X is the main criterion for contact registration between the con-nector and connector housing. Incor-rect layouts result in a loss of contact or even a short-circuit.

It must be noted in the design of the external contour and layout that addi-tional fi ducials are required for the pro-duction process to allow compliance with the required tolerances.

With snap-out technology the rigid ma-terial under the fl exible zone initially re-mains connected to the rigid section of the PCB and is not removed until the customer receives it. This achieves greater stability during the fi tting proc-ess.

The forward grooves are inserted as standard. Retaining webs are left when the counter grooves are cut. These must not be positioned in the conduc-tor zone.

The subject of protecting the environment and preserving resources has been an integral part of our thoughts and actions since the company was founded. Located at the edge of a conservation area in the Northern Black Forest nature reserve, we pay very close attention to saving material, water and energy and to improving our consumption levels.

These factors also play a major role when we are selecting new production equip-ment. The recycling of materials and media has long been a matter of course for us. The subject of the environment is also a signifi cant criterion when we select our group partners.

Our partners are certifi ed to ISO 14001 without exception.
