19.1.3 Metal-Core Boards

Metal core boards or special

printed board constructions are detailed in IPC-D-275.

These types of products, due to their mechanical rigidity,

make the component mounting task somewhat easier. How-

ever, the thermal characteristics of the interconnection

structure require that the soldering or attachment technique

consider the impact that the thermal mass has on the solder

joint solidification.

19.2 Surface Mounting

Surface mounting techniques are

applicable to any type of board or substrate material. How-

ever, when using leadless components, the differing coeffi-

cients of expansion between the component and the sub-

strate must be considered.

Surface mounting is suitable for single sided, double sided

(with or without plated-through-holes), and multilayer

boards. Mounting techniques are independent of board

type.

Techniques which have been developed to minimize the

thermal expansion problem have included the development

of special board types with controlled expansion coeffi-

cients. These include ceramic boards, conventional epoxy-

glass and polyimide- glass boards, and special laminates

such as invar or copper substrate clad with epoxy-glass on

each side. Proper selection of material types and thick-

nesses permits tailoring the thermal expansion coefficients

to any desired value.

Table 19-1 provides a comparison of the advantages and

disadvantages of many of the available printed board

structures.

19.3 Supporting-Plane Printed Board Structures

sup-

porting metallic or non-metallic planes can be used with

conventional printed boards or with customer processing to

enhance printed board properties. Depending on the results

desired, the supporting plane can be electrically functional

or not and can also serve as a structure stiffener, heatsink

and/or CTE constraint.

19.3.1 Printed Board Bonded to Support Plane (Metal or

Non-Metal)

A conventional thin printed board that has

been fabricated and bonded with a rigid adhesive insulation

to a supporting plane such as metal (Figure 9-1) or

graphite-fiber resin composite can create a printed board

structure with controlled thermal expansion in the

X

and

Y

axes, improved rigidity, improved thermal conductivity,

etc. depending on the properties of the supporting plane.

However, the printed board must be thin enough to pre-

clude warping of the assembly or else the board should be

bonded to both sides of the plane (see 19.4.2). The printed

board portion of the printed board structure can be either

unpopulated or completely assembled and tested prior to

being bonded. However, components can only be mounted

to one side of the printed board. Also, the support is not

normally electrically connected to the printed board.

19.3.2 Sequentially-Processed Structures with Metal

Support Plane

High-density, sequentially processed, mul-

tilayer printed board structures are available with organic

dielectrics of specific thickness, ultrafine conductors, and

solid plated vias for layer-to-layer interconnections with

thermal lands for heat transfer, all connected to a low-CTE

metal support heatsink. Thus, this technology combines

laminating materials, chemical processing, photolithogra-

phy, metallurgy, and unique thermal transfer innovations,

such that it is also appropriate for mounting and intercon-

necting bare integrated circuit chips, as shown in Figure

19-2.

The major advantage of this system is that the vias can be

as small as 0.20 mm square and conductor widths can

range from 0.12 to 0.20 mm for high interconnection den-

sity. Thus, most applications can be satisfied with two sig-

nal layers with additional layers for power and ground.

19.3.3 Discrete-Wire Structures with Metal Support

Plane.

Discrete-wire printed board structures have been

developed specifically for use with surface mounted com-

ponents, as shown in Figure 19-3. These structures are usu-

ally built with a low-expansion metal support plane that

also offers good heat dissipation.

The interconnections are made by discrete

0.06

mm diam-

eter insulated copper wires precisely placed on a 0.03 mm

grid by numerically-controlled machines. This geometry

results in a low-profile interconnection pattern with excel-

lent high-speed electrical characteristics and a density nor-

mally associated with thick-film technology.

The wiring is encapsulated in a compliant resin to absorb

local stresses and dampen vibration. Electrical access to the

conductors is by 0.25 mm diameter copper vias. The small

via size can be accommodated in the component-

attachment land, thus eliminating the need for fan-out pat-

terns when using components with terminals on centers

as close as

0.6

mm, and allowing very-high packaging

densities.

polyimide flexible printed wiring, as shown in Figure

19-4.

These assemblies can be constructed in multilayer form

while retaining the low-modulus feature that reduces

residual strain at the solder joints. Furthermore, lasers can

drill very fine holes in the thin printed wiring laminate.

These holes can be plated-through or filled with solid cop-

per, as required.

To retain inherent flexibility while dissipating head from

the solder joint, cutouts in the flexible circuit accommodate

pillars from the metal heatsink support plane. Although this

appears to be heavy and cumbersome, if the heatsink base-

plates are made from thin sheets of aluminum, the result-

ing density of the combined circuidheatsink assembly

might actually be less than other constructions.

19.4 Constraining Core Printed Board Structures

As

with supporting-plane printed board structures, one or more

supporting metallic or non-metallic planes can serve as a

stiffener, heatsink, and/or CTE constraint in constraining

core printed board structures.

19.4.1 Porcelainized-Metal (Metal Core) Structures

An

integral core of low-expansion metal (e.g., copper-clad

Invar), can reduce the CTE of porcelainized-metal printed

board structures

so

that it closely matches the CTE of the

ceramic chip carrier. Also, the printed board structure size

is virtually unlimited. However, the low melting point of

the porcelain requires low-firing-temperature conductor,

dielectric and resistor inks.

A number of composite printed board structures use lead-

less components. An integral material with a lower CTE

than that of the printed boards controls the CTE of these

structures.

19.4.2 Printed Board With Constraining (not electrically

functioning) Core

Printed boards bonded back-to-back to

a constraining core can be used for high-density, low-

warpage printed board structures. The core acts as a heat-

sink, but in this case is not electrically functional. For opti-

mum density with this approach, use a multilayer

construction with a centrally-located predrilled, low-CTE
