PCB Surface Topography and Copper Balancing Under Large Form Factor BGAs
10/01/2024 | Neil Hubble, Akrometrix and Gary A. Brist, Intel CorporationAs CPU and GPU packages grow larger and contain higher pin/ball counts, the importance of managing the printed circuit board (PCB) surface coplanarity for package assembly increases. The PCB surface coplanarity under a package is a product of both the global bow/twist of the PCB and the local surface topography under the package. In general, the surface topography is dependent the choice of material and layer stackup and the interaction between the innerlayer copper patterns and prepreg resin flow.
