Precautions in Handling
- The thermal management prepreg should be taken care of when handling and wearing rubber gloves to prevent contamination is strongly recommended during processing.
- It is strongly recommended that the remaining loose packages be sealed as soon as possible and stored in a cold storage.
Product Handling & Press Process Flow
1. Please put RCF on a clean and flat surface with the PET film side up in cleanroom.
2. Please pay more attention to the alignment of RCF colloid edge with the substrate or metal plate.
3. When tearing off the PET film from the resin, perform the action gently starting from one corner.
4. Then put copper foil or another piece of RCF on the surface.
5. It is recommended to be careful when handling.Disclaimer: The information and data contained in this technical literature is based on data and knowledge correct at the time of publishing/printing and is believed to be accurate and is offered in good faith for the benefit of the user.

Press Parameters
1. Heating rate (Rate of Rise) of material (60~110ºC) [Material Temperature]: 2.5~4.0ºC/min
2. Curing Temperature & Time: >80min at more than 180ºC [Material Temperature]
3. Full Pressure: ≥ 420psi, It’s should be started before 70ºC of material temperature
4. Vacuuming should be continued until over 180ºC [Material Temperature]
5. Cold Press condition: Keep Plate @ Room Temperature by water; Pressure: 100psi; Keep Time: 60minutes
6. Also it is recommended to add a three-in-one cushion film between the copper foil and the steel plate on the RCF sidea) Please put RCF on a clean and flat surface with the PET film side up in cleanroom. b) Please pay more attention to the alignment of RCF edge with the substrate or metal plate. c) Start from one corner when peeling off the PET film from resin.
Baking Recommendation During PCB Process
Process Purpose Cycle Potential risk without bake Before HASL, PCB should be separate (not stacked) and supported in a rack for this process. HASL process should be finished within 24 hours after baking finishing To eliminate moisture 2 hours @ 125°C Potential for measling, blister and de-lamination Before shipment, if PCB stored for > 1 month, purpose to eliminate moisture cycle potential risk 2 hours @ 125ºC PCB should be baked before packaging To eliminate moisture 2~4 hours @ 125°C Potential for measling, blister and de-lamination Prepreg exceeding shelf life should be retested.

Image Transfer
Process Recommendation Dry Film The lamination speed maybe needs slower than standard FR4 to have metal substrate approach proper lamination temperature Wet Film Both aluminum and copper could be coated to protect aluminum during etching process. Follow instruction details of manufacturers Developing Masking or film protection on aluminum is better during developing. Follow chemical manufacturer’s recommendation • Dry filming and wet filming are both applicable process on aluminum base laminate • Before filming, cleaning of panel surface is necessary • Wet film process options: - Curtain - Screen
Etching Stripping
Process Recommendation Etching Alkaline or acid solution (cupric chloride, ferric chloride) are both applicable. Alkaline etching is faster than acid etching and is fit for below 3oz copper. The acid etching performs well on preventing of undercut and over etch Stripping Apply sodium hydroxide solution to remove etch resist and conveying process is preferred Solder Masking
Process Recommendation Solder Masking Control the thickness between 1~2mil or depends on boards design Pre-heating Follow manufacturer’s recommendation on the setting of temperature and time. Having a filter system in oven is preferred Developing Solution concentration, temperature and spray pressure need to be controlled Curing Follow the details of temperature and time of manufacturer. • Roughness of board surface is necessary to get better adhesion between boards and solder mask • Before filming, cleaning of panel surface is necessary • Both thermal cured and UV cured solder mask are applicable • Masking options: - Screen Printing - Curtain Coating - Spray Coating - Roller Coating
Surface Finishing Options
Process Recommendation HASL The most popular surface treatment method. Peel off the protective film from aluminum before HASL OSP Follow details of manufacturer’s recommendation ENIG Popular in wire bonding application. Follow chemistry recommendation to avoid defects of black pad and brickle gold Silver Immersion Silver immersion has a better soldering ability but has disadvantage of silver migration Routing

Punching
• Alloy side is upwards when punching • Tonnage – 120T and above is preferred • “D1&D2” should be greater than board thickness • “D3” should be greater than board thickness + 0.5mm • Consult your tool supplier for more advice
