Your PCB’s performance starts long before layout—stack-up and material selection play a critical role in manufacturability and cost.
A recent case showed how using embedded resistor materials the wrong way—applying them as a foil on an inner sub instead of a core—led to low yield and higher costs. These choices can make or break your design.
Key lessons for better PCB stack-ups:
Understand your prepregs and cores—fabrication directly affects performance.
For RF designs, specify resin percentage to avoid surprises.
Be proactive about material selection—if you don’t define it, your fabricator might prioritize cost over quality.
Choose wisely—your RF engineer (and your final product) will thank you!
