Step 1: Build Schematic

Schematic is a visual representation of the electronic components and connections that constitute a printed circuit board. The schematic offers a clear overview of the circuit, enabling engineers to identify potential issues and make necessary adjustments before proceeding to the production phases. In a schematic diagram, components are represented by symbols, and connections between them are depicted by lines. These symbols are standardized, making it easy for 回路基板の部品識別. For instance, a resistor is typically represented by a zigzag line, while two parallel lines denote a capacitor.

Usually, the customer carries out this process. If you do not have the ability in this area, FS Technology’s engineering team will assist you in completing this process! In order to complete the process, you must provide all the essential information about the project to FS Technology to produce basic drawings. Some crucial details include the intended use of PCB, the type of circuit board, the required power, and the material used. All of these details must be accurate, and the initial medical device PCB design should be based on them.

Step 2: Layout Design

The next stage after the initial schematic design is to create the layout for the medical printed circuit board, and it is recommended to use professional PCB設計ソフトウェア for this process. In modern healthcare systems, various implantable and miniaturized devices are used, and to reduce the size of the boards, it is essential to arrange them as closely as possible to each other. Additionally, careful consideration is given to the power requirements of components, overall circuit power consumption, electromagnetic interference, and thermal management to ensure the proper functioning of the circuit. To ensure the reliable and efficient operation of medical device PCB, it is crucial to follow PCB設計ガイドライン and plan a reasonable component and bare board layout. Here are some suggestions:

トレースの長さを短くし、ダイレクトに伝える。
デカップリングコンデンサからの信号を短くし、グランドカバレッジを確保するために、パワープレーン、グランドプレーンを使用します。
高電力のトレースやプレーンは、高電力を扱うために十分な銅を使用し、電圧降下を最小限に抑えて構築してください。
高速データトレースには、反射を抑えるために差動ペアや信号を使用します。
クロストークを防ぐため、クロック信号は短く、他の近くのトレースやプレーンから離してください。
異なるレイヤーのトレースを重ねる場合は、垂直に重ねる。
温度に敏感な部品は、他の部品から離してください。
チェックリフローはんだ付け requirements twice to ensure that SMD部品 stay cool while being assembled.

Step 3: Files for Final Work

Once the design is complete, your final job is to send the ガーバー or CAD data to the China medical PCB assembly manufacturer. Once the design and manufacturing files are approved, PCB fabrication services can officially begin to turn your digital design into reality.

While there are many manufacturers worldwide to choose from, it is essential to look for ISO 13485 certification for medical PCB projects. If you are unsure about proceeding with the project, you can send the files and instructions outlined above to FS Technology. As the best among 1-10 layer medical PCB manufacturers, we can provide you with the necessary expertise and quality assurance.

銅がエッチングで削られる部分は黒インクで表示されています。

ステップ2：インナーレイヤー・プリント銅

This step involves manufacturing the inner-layer circuits for medical PCB to establish conductive pathways on different layers. If your project requires a more complex multilayer medical PCB, this step must be repeated until all inner-layer circuits are printed and etched. Finally, they are aligned and laminated to form a complete inner layer. The specific operations are as follows:

Laminate copper layers onto each side of the fiberglass substrate.
Align a thin film with the copper layers and place it on top.
Use ultraviolet (UV) light exposure to cure and protect the underlying copper.
Employ a chemical solution to develop the circuit board, removing uncured transparent ink, leaving behind copper traces and circuits.
Etch to remove excess copper foil, with black ink on the film ensuring that only copper in unwanted areas is etched away.

ステップ3：異なるレイヤーを合成する

Once all necessary inner layers have undergone etching, printing, and lamination, ensuring cleanliness, different layers need to be combined to form a complete printed circuit board. This involves the drilling process to connect with the inner layers. Most manufacturers employ traditional CNC drilling, which may not suffice for medical PCB with high precision requirements.

Take, for example, medical pacemaker PCB, where even typical devices may have over a hundred drill holes, not to mention more sophisticated instruments. The time required for manufacturing is just one aspect of the challenge; what’s even more critical is that any minor deviation can lead to assembly failures.

To address this challenge, FS Technology utilizes optical drilling machines and laser drilling processes to achieve precision drilling. This involves a machine that drives pins through alignment holes to align the inner and outer layers, ensuring the effectiveness of PTH during スルーホールPCBアセンブリ.

ステップ5：外層エッチング

During this process, any copper that doesn’t belong to the outer layer is removed, and an additional layer of copper is added using electroplating. Electroplated tin is used to protect critical areas of copper after the initial copper bath. Once the outer layer etching is completed, the panel can undergo AOIインスペクション checks to ensure that even medical aesthetic PCB boards with complex circuits meet the necessary specifications.

Step 6: Solder Mask and Silk Screen

After the circuitry manufacturing is complete, an はんだマスク is applied to protect the outer layer of the medical printed circuit board and to apply silk screen details such as company ID, manufacturer logos, symbols, component identifiers, pin locators, and other prominent markings or features. The process involves:

Cleaning the medical PCB panel to remove any contaminants.
Applying epoxy resin ink and solder mask film to the surface of the circuit board.
Exposing to UV light to cure the areas where soldering is not required in the solder mask layer.
Removing the areas that don’t need masking and placing the board in an oven to solidify the solder mask layer.
Using an inkjet printer to directly print information details onto the board.

Step 7: Surface Finishing

Depending on the needs of the customer, it may be necessary to apply a 表面仕上げ to the finished medical PCB, which involves applying a coating of conductive material to the surface of the board.

医療用PCBアセンブリ

ステップ1：ソルダーペーストのステンシング

ソルダーペーストのステンシル技術は、第一段階として PCB組立工程. In this step, a PCBステンシル is used to cover the circuit board so that only the portion of the board that will be mounted with a component is visible. This makes it easier to apply the solder paste solely to the board’s areas where the components will be placed.

そのために、機械的な装置で基板とソルダーステンシルを固定する。その後、アプリケータを使用して、所定の位置にソルダーペーストを堆積させます。ソルダーペーストは、露出した部分のすべてに一貫して塗布されます。この工程が完了したら、ステンシルを取り除き、ソルダーペーストを適切な位置に残します。

ステップ2："ピック＆プレース "というゲーム

医療用電子機器の多くは、人体に埋め込んだり、敏感な臓器に装着したりします。これらの機器がショートや焼損などの不具合を起こすと、患者さんに二次被害を及ぼす可能性があります。そのため、精密な装置を使って部品を所定の位置に正確に配置することが重要です。

などの植込み型医療用電子機器。 人工内耳 と 人工眼球, typically have many electronic components in their internal structure. However, smaller devices present challenges in the picking and placing process, making it more difficult to maintain precision. To achieve the high accuracy required for assembling PCB for medical cochlear implants, FS Technology uses robotic equipment. Robots are responsible for picking and mounting surface-mount components onto circuit boards, ensuring that the components are precisely placed on the solder paste with the mounting mechanism.

ステップ3：はんだリフロー

があります。 reflow soldering process is designed to strengthen the connections between the circuit board and electrical components. To achieve this, a conveyor belt is used to move the circuit board through a large reflow oven. The solder paste is melted by heating the PCBA board to around 2500 degrees Celsius during the process. After being heated in the oven, the medical PCBA goes through a series of coolers, which help the solder paste cool and harden, resulting in strong connections between the electrical components and the board.

Therefore, finding reliable manufacturers and excellent PCBA facilities and ensuring they have ISO 13485 certification is of utmost importance. Even when they meet these criteria, it is still necessary to inspect their PCBテストサービス.

In addition to manual inspections that run throughout the production process, including SPI and AOI, 機能試験 is performed at the final stage of assembling medical PCB. This ensures that the mainboard functions as expected and meets the high standards set by the medical industry.

After testing is completed, a thorough cleaning of the circuit board is carried out to remove any potential residues such as oil, solder flux, or other contaminants. Additionally, due to the specific requirements of the product, customers may also need specialized processes for medical PCBA production, such as sterile handling, based on the specific application type.

Price of Medical Device PCB

と比べると民生用電子基板, the price of medical device PCB is much higher due to the complexity of the processes and stringent requirements. For general electronics, FS Technology follows IPC-A-610-G-1 as the minimum standard, which is not sufficient for the medical industry. Therefore, it requires the adoption of level 2, level 3, or even higher execution standards. The result of these higher standards is increased production complexity, but FS Technology ensures to provide customers with more competitive medical PCBA services compared to peers!

Difficulties and Overcoming

The manufacturing challenges manifest in various aspects, including miniaturization, precision, and more. With the gradual advancement of medical technology, the demand and requirements for implantable and wearable devices are increasing. These products rely on the support of high-density, flexibility, and miniature components. High-density implies the need to stack more layers, and as the number of layers increases, the manufacturing complexity and failure rate also rise. Secondly, flexibility means the use of a flexible PCB that is three-dimensional space-friendly. Compared to traditional PCB, it is harder to construct and use more expensive materials like polyimide as substrates. More importantly, there are the procurement costs of components. To ensure requirements for miniaturization, multifunctionality, and high reliability, SMD部品 are essential. The procurement costs for these components are higher, and due to their small pins, the PCBA process becomes more challenging. Furthermore, some specific devices have additional requirements, such as using thermal-sensitive components in medical defibrillator PCB, and the requirement that components used in implantable medical PCB must withstand high-pressure sterilization.

High-End Medical PCB

高密度インターコネクション

High-Density Interconnect is one of the core technologies for building modern medical equipment PCB, aimed at achieving more electronic components and connections within limited PCB space. A circuit board constructed using this technology is known as HDI PCB. Due to the intricate processes involved, such as fine traces, blind vias, and buried vias, HDI PCB can be expensive, but they are well worth the investment.

In remote medical applications, there is zero tolerance for signal delays or interruptions. Even a slight deviation of 0.1 seconds could be life-threatening for patients. Medical-grade HDI PCB ensure signal transmission speed and mitigate various response issues. Furthermore, by implementing certain design and engineering improvements, these high-density circuit boards can be endowed with the ability to resist electromagnetic interference and noise. This can be achieved through measures like ground plane planning, interlayer shielding, and EMI filtering.

Currently, most medical CT scanning devices and multimodal physiological and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors benefit from the true floating-point inputs enabled by HDI PCB.

Flexible

The medical industry has a significant demand for フレキシブルPCB due to their advantages such as miniaturization, design freedom, and flexibility. These characteristics meet the requirements of medical devices for lightweight, compact, and reliable solutions.

Medical electronic products must withstand harsh conditions within the human body while providing high reliability and electrical performance, making flexible circuits an ideal choice for such applications. They are typically made from thin and flexible materials like polyimide or polyester, allowing them to bend, fold, or twist to fit tight spaces or complex shapes. Furthermore, the design of flexible PCB can accommodate temperature variations, provide waterproofing, maintain sterility, and allow for multiple reassemblies.

Various medical devices rely on flexible circuits as their core components, including pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, ultrasound machines, endoscopes, and more.

Multilayer Structure

In contrast, リジッドPCB can provide a more reliable internal structure compared to flexible PCB, as manufacturers can place components on a more stable platform. However, due to their inability to fold, they may not offer the advantage of miniaturization, and thus, they rely on the benefits of multi-layer structures to accommodate more components.

In many high-end medical products, rigid PCB is commonly found. These include surgical robots, X-ray machines, MRI devices, electrocardiographs, and chemotherapy pumps. Most medical equipment manufacturers opt for 多層PCB for such applications. The materials used for these PCB include glass epoxy resin, aluminum, ceramics, and more.

厳しい医療用PCBテスト

The development process for medical devices includes extra considerations and requirements beyond what is generally required for creating non-critical PCB. Much testing is conducted on medical equipment, which is more than can be said for other kinds of PCB. This is primarily because of the stringent testing requirements imposed by regulatory agencies; however, functional testing and production testing are often also necessary. The regulatory testing that is required for medical devices usually falls into one of two broad categories:

患者との間でエネルギーを伝達したり、患者から伝達されたエネルギーを検出したりする医療機器は、IEC規格60601-1の焦点です。
実験室で使用されるような、患者に直接接続されない医療機器は、IEC 61010-1に該当します。
