Circuit Board Manufacturing Process
In printed circuit board fabrication, a bare PCB order moves through engineering review, material preparation, imaging, drilling, plating, surface finishing, testing, and final inspection before shipment or assembly.
Engineering Review
Gerber, drill files, stackup, copper weight, material, surface finish, and controlled impedance requirements are checked before production.
Material Preparation
FR4, high Tg FR4, Rogers, Isola, polyimide, aluminum, copper base, and other approved materials are prepared according to the stackup.
Imaging, Etching & Lamination
Circuit patterns are transferred to copper layers, etched, inspected, and laminated into the required multilayer structure.
Drilling & Via Formation
Mechanical drilling, laser drilling, blind and buried vias, and via filling are processed according to the board design.
Plating & Outer Layer Processing
Copper plating, pattern plating, outer layer imaging, and etching form the final conductive paths and plated through holes.
Solder Mask & Surface Finish
Solder mask, legend, ENIG, HASL lead-free, OSP, immersion silver, immersion tin, or hard gold are applied as required.
Testing & Final Inspection
AOI, electrical testing, dimensional checks, impedance verification, and micro-section review are used when required by the project.
Packing, Shipment or Assembly
Finished bare boards are packed for shipment or transferred to PCB assembly, firmware loading, testing, coating, or final product assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What files do you need for PCB fabrication?
What files do you need for PCB fabrication?
Please provide standard Gerber files (RS-274X) along with your NC drill files, or ODB++ formats. Include a read-me text file with stack-up details, material requirements, surface finish, and board thickness for a precise quote.
Q
What materials do you use for PCB manufacturing?
What materials do you use for PCB manufacturing?
We use a wide range of materials depending on your application. This includes standard FR4, High-TG FR4, Rogers, Isola, Polyimide for flex circuits, and Aluminum/Copper bases for high thermal conductivity needs.
Q
What surface finishes can you provide?
What surface finishes can you provide?
We offer multiple surface finishes including HASL (Lead-Free), ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold), OSP, Immersion Silver, Immersion Tin, and Hard Gold plating for edge connectors (Gold Fingers).
Q
What are your fabrication capabilities for HDI boards?
What are your fabrication capabilities for HDI boards?
We support advanced HDI routing with any-layer interconnection, blind and buried vias, and plated via filling. Our minimum line width and spacing can reliably reach down to 2 mil (50 µm).
Q
Do you perform electrical testing on bare PCBs?
Do you perform electrical testing on bare PCBs?
Yes. Every manufactured board undergoes 100% electrical testing to ensure there are no open or short circuits before shipping. We use Flying Probe testing for prototypes and E-test fixtures for mass production.
Q
What is the typical lead time for bare PCB boards?
What is the typical lead time for bare PCB boards?
Standard PCB prototypes typically take 3 to 5 days. For advanced boards (HDI, Rigid-Flex, Multilayer) or mass production, the lead time ranges from 2 to 3 weeks depending on complexity and volume.
