1. Overview of PCB (Printed Circuit Board)

A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serves as the core carrier for electronic components, providing mechanical support and electrical interconnection for all components. It is named "Printed Circuit Board" due to its manufacturing process adopting electronic printing technology. PCB design is based on circuit schematics to realize the functional requirements defined by circuit designers, with layout design as the core link. The design process must comprehensively consider external connection layout, internal component placement, metal wire routing, via arrangement, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection, thermal dissipation performance and other key factors.
An optimized layout design can effectively reduce production costs while ensuring excellent circuit performance and thermal management. Simple PCB layout can be completed manually, while complex high-density layouts (such as mobile phone PCBs) must rely on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to ensure design accuracy and manufacturability.





2. Maxipcb Mobile Phone PCB Layout Requirements

2.1 Component Spacing Requirement

To ensure the SMT mass production feasibility of Maxipcb, the side-to-side spacing between adjacent components on the PCB shall be ≥ 6mil. This requirement is formulated to avoid component collision during mounting and ensure the stability of the SMT process.

2.2 Structural Design Requirement

Component layout must fully align with product structural design requirements. During PCB design, close communication with structural engineers is required. On the premise of ensuring electrical performance, components with different heights and sizes shall be placed in designated areas according to structural constraints, avoiding conflicts with the shell, connectors and other structural parts.

2.3 Electrical Performance Requirement

Component placement must comply with electrical characteristic requirements: RF components and baseband components shall be placed in separate areas, and mutual placement is prohibited. According to the circuit schematic, components with different electrical functions shall be partitioned and arranged; if crosstalk is likely to occur between different functional areas, shielding covers shall be used for isolation if necessary.
In addition, components with adjacent logical relationships in the schematic shall be placed closely (e.g., filter capacitors for I/O signal lines shall be placed near the pins of the I/O connector, otherwise the filtering effect cannot be achieved). The higher the signal frequency and the smaller the capacitor capacity, the stricter the requirement for adjacent placement.

3. Maxipcb® Mobile Phone PCB Silk Screen Design Specifications

3.1 Positioning Silk Screen for High-Precision Devices

For BGA packaged devices and other components that cannot be visually inspected after SMT mounting, positioning silk screens shall be added around the pads. This facilitates SMT workers to verify the mounting accuracy and avoid misalignment.

3.2 Special Silk Screen Design

  • Silk screens shall be added between pads prone to short circuits to prevent tin bridging during soldering;
  • If PCB wiring is likely to come into contact with metal shells, insulating silk screens shall be added to avoid short circuits;
  • Directional identification silk screens shall be designed for polar components to ensure correct mounting direction;
  • PCB file name, version number and design date shall be clearly marked on the board surface with silk screens for traceability.

3.3 Silk Screen Size Requirement

The width of silk screen lines shall be ≥ 7mil to ensure clear printing during Maxipcb's production process. Silk screens shall not cover component pads (PADs), as this will affect solder paste adhesion and tin loading effect.



4. Maxipcb Mobile Phone PCB Routing Requirements

4.1 Power Line Width & Spacing Requirements

For the Vbatt power line from the battery connector input terminal to the PA (RF Power Amplifier) power pin, the line width requirements are as follows:
  • When the routing length < 60mm (2362mil), the line width shall be ≥ 1.5mm (60mil);
  • When 60mm (2362mil) ≤ routing length < 90mm (3543mil), the line width shall be ≥ 2mm (90mil).
To ensure the stable operation of the PA, the total length of the power lead from the battery connector to the PA shall not exceed 90mm (3543mil). The line width design of other high-current leads shall follow the same standard as the Vbatt power line. For general power lines, the line width shall be designed as 0.2mm-0.4mm (8mil-16mil) according to the current load.

4.2 Crosstalk Control Requirements

To reduce crosstalk between signal lines, the spacing between two easily interfering lines shall be greater than twice the line width; direct overlap of upper and lower layer lines (without ground layer isolation) shall be strictly avoided.

4.3 High-Speed Signal Routing Requirements

To improve the high-frequency performance of high-speed signals, the routing shall adopt natural arc turning; if arc turning cannot be fully realized, 135° turning shall be used, and right-angle or acute-angle turning shall be prohibited. The grounding pins of components shall be directly connected to the ground layer; if necessary, nearby grounding shall be adopted, but the routing width shall be ≥ 0.5mm (20mil), and long-distance grounding routing shall be avoided.

4.4 Routing for Large-Size Devices

To enhance the anti-peeling performance of large-size devices (such as tantalum capacitors, battery connectors), teardrops or copper cladding can be added to the pad leads connected to these devices, and additional vias shall be added to connect with other layers to improve mechanical strength.

4.5 Routing to Board Edge Spacing

The spacing between routing lines and the PCB board edge shall be designed to be ≥ 0.4mm (16mil) to avoid edge damage affecting circuit performance during PCB forming.

5. HDI PCB Technical Standards for Mobile Phones

5.1 Key HDI Terminology Definition

  • Blind Hole: A via that connects the outer layer and inner layer without penetrating the entire board, with a diameter ranging from 0.05mm to 0.15mm. It is mainly formed by laser drilling, plasma etching or photo-induced drilling, among which laser drilling (CO₂ laser and YAG (UV) laser) is the most commonly used process.
  • Buried Hole: A via that realizes interconnection between inner layers (not connected to any outer layer), with a larger diameter than blind holes, and is also formed by precision drilling processes such as laser drilling.

5.2 HDI PCB Level Classification & 6-Layer HDI Technical Details

HDI PCB is classified by the number of laser drilling and lamination cycles. 6-layer HDI PCB, widely used in mobile phone motherboards, is mainly divided into first-order and second-order types.

5.2.1 6-Layer First-Order HDI PCB

The blind hole distribution is 1-2 layers, 2-5 layers, 5-6 layers. Among them, 1-2 layer and 5-6 layer vias are processed by laser drilling, while 2-5 layer vias are completed by conventional drilling. This type of HDI has simple production process, controllable parameters and low cost, which is suitable for entry-level mobile phones and other cost-sensitive products.

5.2.2 6-Layer Second-Order HDI PCB

The blind hole distribution covers 1-2 layers, 2-3 layers, 3-4 layers, 4-5 layers, 5-6 layers, requiring two laser drilling and two lamination processes. The specific process flow is as follows:
  1. Drill 3-4 layer buried holes first;
  2. Complete the first lamination to form the 2-5 layer core board;
  3. Perform the first laser drilling to process 2-3 layer and 4-5 layer blind holes;
  4. Complete the second lamination to form the 1-6 layer complete board;
  5. Perform the second laser drilling to process 1-2 layer and 5-6 layer blind holes;
  6. Drill through holes (if required) to complete the overall processing.
According to the blind hole distribution, 6-layer second-order HDI PCB is further divided into two categories:
  • Second-Order Staggered HDI PCB: Blind holes of adjacent layers (e.g., 1-2 layers and 2-3 layers) are arranged in a staggered manner without overlapping, with relatively simple process control.
  • Second-Order Stacked HDI PCB: Blind holes of adjacent layers (e.g., 1-2 layers and 2-3 layers) are stacked and overlapped (e.g., blind hole distribution of 1-3 layers, 3-4 layers, 4-6 layers), with higher density but higher process difficulty.
The classification logic of third-order, fourth-order and higher-order HDI PCB is consistent with the above, which is realized by increasing the number of laser drilling and lamination cycles, and is mainly used in ultra-high-density mobile phone motherboards.
