Electronic industry enters 5G Era, HDI PCB ushered in any layer of interconnection and fine wiring needs

HDI (high density interconnect) PCB is widely used in smart phones, tablet computers and high-end consumer electronic products.  Since the 1990s, HDI has developed for many years and experienced several changes.  The early technology originated in Japan.  Based on the subtraction method or printing and etching process, it relies on micro through holes to realize the characteristics of high-density interconnect.

With the further development of 5G, smart phones, tablet computers, wearable devices and other electronic products tend to be more intelligent, miniaturized, high-frequency, high-speed and highly integrated, and the components to be carried on PCB are also increasing significantly.  At the same time, with the improvement of 5G intelligent products' high frequency, high-speed transmission and functions, the requirements for the screen are getting larger and larger, the resolution is getting higher and higher, and the power consumption has become the key point.  At present, there is no new technology breakthrough in the battery part, only the space of the main board of the mobile phone can be continuously compressed, and the size, total amount and volume of the main board of the mobile phone are constantly shrinking.

When the high integration and PCB space cannot be increased, the PCB wiring becomes more intensive, the wire width and spacing are reduced, the distance between the hole diameter and the center is reduced, and the thickness of the insulation layer is reduced. Therefore, the anylayer interconnection structure with more stacking layers, smaller line spacing and more functional modules + SLP Substrate-like PCB  board technology (MSAP) becomes the best solution. The capacity of traditional HDI process is limited, which is difficult to meet.

Introduction to MSAP, amsap and SAP processes


The technology development of smart phones is dominated by apple.  Since the iPhone 4, HDI anylayer interconnection technology has been used, and the iPhone 8 has been using the SLP (Substrate-like PCB) technology (MSAP).  The Galaxy series released by Samsung 2019 also uses the SLP technology.  Since 2018, Huawei, oppo, vivo and Xiaomi flagship mobile phones have been equipped with HDI anylayer interconnection technology.  In 2019, Huawei launched P30 Pro 5G, vivo iqoo 5G and oppo Reno 5G in the domestic market, all of which adopt HDI anylayer interconnection + main board sandwich structure,. It is estimated that Huawei will introduce SLP like carrier technology in its flagship in 2020, which will be adopted by global mobile phone manufacturers in the future.

Technology enabling development

HDI anylayer interconnection is a high-density connection technology, which has a high technical threshold.  The main processing difficulties are layer alignment, laser drilling, hole filling electroplating, dense circuit processing, etc. Among them, Victory Giant technology has built the industry top equipment and well-known materials for benchmarking industry. At present, the domestic PCB manufacturers with high process capability and large production capacity mainly include founder, Victory Giant technology and Shantou Goworld, etc.


The requirements for PCB factory about high-end any layer HDI & any layer PCB technology

High technology, high quality, high quality service

Focus on 5G consumer 3C products

With the boom of PCB industry and the accelerated transfer of production capacity to the mainland of China, the industry boom continues to grow.  PCB accounted for a rapid increase in mainland China, rising from 14% in 2011 to 23% in 2018. Meanwhile, the domestic PCB plant is actively launching the established HDI plant in 2019 to expand the high level HDI capacity (ounder, Suntak,King Wong, oskang, etc. ), because the HDI production line has heavy investment, relatively high technical requirements, and electroplating production lines, etc. , with the environmental approval threshold, which is the barriers to entry of HDI production line, especially the expansion of high-level HDI production line, need to be prepared 1-2 years in advance, so it is impossible to form large-scale new capacity and release it in a short time.

In the process of accelerating global PCB capacity transfer to mainland China, Victory Giant technology,Shennan circuit are the outstanding representative. In the period of serious shortage of HDI high-level PCB capacity in 5G era, the layout and capacity preparation of high-level HDI anylayer (any layer interconnection structure) should be carried out one year in advance,  it is expected that in Q3 2020, SLP products will be put into production with 35000m2 / month production capacity (MSAP process).

The newly built smart factory has a high level of automation, ranking the world leading position, and its per capita efficiency and profit level continue to improve. Relying on industry 4. 0 intelligent factory and industrial automation production system, it has high efficiency, good quality, short delivery time, large production capacity and low cost.
