Multilayer Board

Multilayer PCBs are circuit boards with more than two layers. Unlike double-sided PCBs which have only two layers of conductive material, all multilayer PCBs must have at least three layers of conductive material buried in the center of the material.

As the name suggests, multilayer PCBs are a combination of different layers. Single-sided PCBs and double-sided PCBs combine to form this complex designed PCB. Multilayer PCBs increase the number of layers and therefore the area available for routing. These circuit boards are made by combining two layers of PCBs and separating them with an insulating material like dielectric.

The minimum number of conductive layers between the insulating material is three, and we can incorporate up to a hundred layers as needed. We consider multilayer PCBs as rigid PCBs because flexible multilayer PCBs are difficult to manufacture. Most of our common multilayer PCBs consist of 4 to 8 layers. Smartphones can contain up to 12 layers to accommodate the complexity of the application. Manufacturers prefer even-numbered layers over odd-numbered layers because laminating odd-numbered layers makes the circuit too complex and problematic, and high cost is also a factor.

Multilayer PCBs have some advantages over single or double-layer PCBs. They have higher density for greater functionality, capacity, and speed. Electromagnetic shielding is easier if the power and ground planes are placed correctly. They do not require a lot of wiring, so they are lightweight. They reduce size and help save space. They are more flexible than other types of PCBs.

Multilayer PCBs have many applications. These include:

Computers, fiber optic receivers, data storage, signal transmission, mobile phone transmission, mobile phone repeaters, GPS technology, industrial control, satellite systems, handheld devices, test equipment, X-ray equipment, heart monitors, cat scanning technology, atomic accelerators, central fire alarm systems, fiber optic receivers, nuclear detection systems, space detection equipment, weather analysis, etc.
