Product Details
4 Layer PCB Flexible Board for Medical Device
♦ What is 4 Layer PCB?
A 4-layer PCB is a printed circuit board with four conductive
copper layers stacked together with insulating (dielectric)
material in between. These layers are interconnected through
vias (plated holes) to create complex circuits while saving
space and improving performance compared to single or double-sided
boards.
♦ Structure of a 4-Layer PCB
A typical 4-layer stackup consists of:
- Top Layer (Signal Layer) – Contains component placements and
high-speed signal traces.
- Inner Layer 1 (Ground Plane) – Acts as a reference plane for
EMI shielding and noise reduction.
- Inner Layer 2 (Power Plane) – Distributes stable power supply
to components.
- Bottom Layer (Signal Layer) – Additional routing space for
signals and components.
♦ 4-Layer PCB vs. 2-Layer PCB
Feature | 4-Layer PCB | 2-Layer PCB |
---|
Layers | 4 (Signal+GND+PWR) | 2 (Top+Bottom) |
Routing Space | ✅ High | ❌ Limited |
Signal Noise | ✅ Low (GND plane) | ❌ Higher |
EMI Shielding | ✅ Better | ❌ Poor |
Cost | ⚠️ Higher (~2x) | ✅ Lower |
♦ Manufacturing Process
- Design – Use CAD tools (Altium, KiCad) to define layer stackup and
routing.
- Material Selection – Choose core/prepreg materials (FR-4, Rogers).
- Lamination – Bond layers under heat/pressure.
- Drilling & Plating – Create vias for inter-layer connections.
- Etching – Remove excess copper to form traces.
- Testing – Verify continuity, impedance, and shorts.
