Single Layer PCB Manufacturing Process
The single layer PCB manufacturing process involves multiple precision stages including drilling, copper imaging, etching, solder masking, testing, and final inspection to ensure reliable PCB performance.
PCB Design & Gerber File Preparation
The single layer PCB manufacturing process starts with PCB layout design and Gerber file generation for accurate circuit fabrication and production.
Copper Clad Laminate Cutting
Copper clad laminate materials such as FR4, FR1, CEM-1, CEM-3, XPC, and Aluminium sheets are cut into required production panel sizes for single layer PCB manufacturing.
CNC Drilling Process
High-precision CNC drilling machines create component holes, mounting holes, and slot openings according to PCB design data.
Copper Surface Cleaning
The copper surface is cleaned to remove oxidation, oil, dust, and contaminants before PCB imaging and etching processes.
PCB Copper Pattern Printing
PCB copper circuit patterns are printed onto the board surface using screen printing or photo imaging technology.
UV Exposure & PCB Developing
UV exposure and developing processes transfer and develop the required electrical circuit pattern on the PCB panel.
PCB Copper Etching
Unwanted copper is removed through chemical etching, leaving only the required conductive copper traces.
Resist Ink Stripping Process
Protective resist ink is removed after etching to expose the final copper circuitry on the PCB surface.
Solder Mask Coating Process
A protective solder mask layer is applied to prevent oxidation, solder bridging, and electrical short circuits.
Silkscreen Printing Process
Component markings, polarity symbols, logos, and PCB identification details are printed on the board surface.
PCB Surface Finishing
Surface finishing improves solderability and protects exposed copper pads from corrosion and environmental damage.
PCB Routing & Board Separation
Individual single-sided PCBs are separated from production panels using CNC routing or V-cut technology.
Electrical Testing Process
Electrical testing verifies PCB continuity, open circuits, short circuits, and overall electrical performance.
Final Quality Inspection
