Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of back-drilling detection technology, specifically to a test strip for monitoring back-drilling depth. Background Technology

[0002] With the emergence of PCB designs with transmission rates of 10G, 25G, and even higher, signal attenuation on PCBs has become an unavoidable factor. Back-drilling on vias has become a common design practice in the industry, and the stub depth control range after back-drilling is getting smaller and smaller, from less than 0.305mm to less than 0.254mm, then to less than 0.2032mm, and will be even smaller in the future. These increasingly stringent stub requirements place increasingly stringent demands on the back-drilling depth control in PCB production. Since the thickness difference between laminated layers in high-layer boards can typically reach 0.1524mm or even 0.254mm, this thickness variation severely impacts stub control. Therefore, different board thicknesses require different back-drilling depths. To ensure that PCBs of different thicknesses meet stub requirements after back-drilling, it is necessary to determine whether the back-drilling depth is acceptable.

[0003] Currently, the back-drilling depth is designed by calculating the theoretical thickness from the non-drillable layer to the back-drilling layer. After drilling one unit based on the theoretical depth, a section is cut to check if the stub after back-drilling is within the tolerance value. If there is a deviation, the back-drilling depth is adjusted according to the deviation value, and another unit is drilled until the test is qualified. However, this testing method requires multiple grinding of sections and sending them to a physics laboratory for measurement, which is obviously cumbersome and wastes manpower and time.
