High-frequency copper-clad laminate is a plate-shaped material made by impregnating electronic glass fiber cloth or other reinforcing materials with resin, covering one or both sides with copper foil and hot pressing. It is specially used for the production of high-frequency circuits. As a key basic material for printed circuit boards (PCBs), it plays a vital role in high-frequency signal transmission.
From the perspective of structure and composition, high-frequency copper-clad laminates are mainly composed of copper foil, resin matrix and reinforcing materials. Copper foil is the carrier of signal transmission, and its surface quality and thickness uniformity have a great influence on signal transmission loss. As a bonding material, the resin matrix must not only firmly combine the copper foil and the reinforcing material, but also have low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss characteristics to ensure efficient transmission of high-frequency signals. Commonly used resins include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), etc. The reinforcing material is mainly electronic glass fiber cloth, which can enhance the mechanical properties of the board and ensure the stability of the board during processing and use.
High-frequency copper-clad laminates have outstanding performance characteristics. Low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss are its most important characteristics, which enable high-frequency signals to effectively reduce signal attenuation and distortion during transmission, ensuring signal integrity and accuracy. Good heat resistance is also one of the key performances. When electronic equipment is working, heat will be generated. High-frequency copper clad laminates need to maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments without deformation, delamination and other problems to ensure the reliability and service life of electronic products. In addition, it also has high dimensional stability. Under different temperature and humidity conditions, the size of the board changes very little, meeting the requirements of high-precision PCB manufacturing.
The manufacturing process of high-frequency copper clad laminates is relatively complicated. First, the copper foil is surface treated to improve the adhesion between the copper foil and the resin matrix. Common treatment methods include roughening treatment and antioxidant treatment. Then the reinforcing material is impregnated in the resin, and a semi-cured sheet, also called prepreg, is made through baking, pressing and other processes. Finally, the copper foil and the prepreg are superimposed in a certain order, and laminated under high temperature and high pressure conditions to make a high-frequency copper clad laminate. During the entire manufacturing process, the control requirements for process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time are extremely strict. Deviations in any link may affect product quality.
In terms of application areas, high-frequency copper clad laminates are widely used in the communication field, such as 5G base stations, satellite communication equipment, etc. With the popularization of 5G technology, the requirements for high-frequency signal transmission are getting higher and higher. As a key material, the demand for high-frequency copper clad laminates has increased significantly. In the aerospace field, it is used to manufacture electronic equipment circuit boards on aircraft such as aircraft and satellites. Since aerospace equipment has extremely high requirements for material performance, the high-performance characteristics of high-frequency copper clad laminates just meet this demand. In addition, it is also widely used in automotive radars, high-end electronic testing equipment and other fields.
Looking to the future, with the research and development of 6G technology and the continuous development of the Internet of Things, the performance requirements for high-frequency copper clad laminates will be further improved. In the future, high-frequency copper clad laminates will develop towards lower dielectric constants and dielectric losses, higher heat resistance and reliability. At the same time, manufacturing processes will continue to innovate to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and meet the market's growing demand for high-frequency copper clad laminates.
