Technical Highlights
We focus on breaking through the technical difficulties of HDI PCBs, and each technical advantage is designed to enhance product performance and meet the evolving needs of high-end applications.
Microvia Expertise
We specialize in microvia technology, supporting 5μm microvias and an aspect ratio of up to 100:1. The ultra-small microvia design effectively reduces parasitic inductance and capacitance, minimizes signal crosstalk, and significantly improves signal integrity—critical for high-speed and high-frequency applications. Leveraging advanced laser drilling technology and precise alignment control, we ensure the uniformity and reliability of each microvia, laying a solid foundation for the stable operation of high-end electronic devices. This technology also aligns with the industry trend of miniaturization, enabling more compact and integrated module designs.
Ultra-Fine Circuitry
Adopting the mSAP (Modified Semi-Additive Process), we achieve 10μm-level fine wiring, which is far beyond the capabilities of traditional PCB manufacturing processes. The mSAP process reduces lateral corrosion during circuit etching, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of line width and line spacing, and effectively improving the density of circuit layout. This technology perfectly meets the miniaturization and high-integration needs of 5G/6G modules, AI chips, and high-end consumer electronics, and is also compatible with the emerging CoWoP (Chip on Wafer on PCB) packaging technology, enabling seamless integration of chips and PCBs.
Advanced Substrate Solutions
To address the challenges of signal loss and skin effect in high-speed transmission scenarios up to 224Gbps, we adopt M9-grade ultra-low loss substrates and VLP2 (Very Low Profile) copper foil. The M9 substrate features an ultra-low dielectric loss (Df < 0.002) and stable dielectric constant (Dk ≈ 2.8-3.1), which effectively reduces signal attenuation during high-frequency transmission. The VLP2 copper foil minimizes surface roughness, reducing skin effect and signal loss, ensuring the stability and integrity of high-speed signals. This substrate solution has passed relevant certifications and is widely used in high-end AI servers and high-speed optical modules, matching the technical requirements of NVIDIA GB300 series chips.
