What Is Aluminum PCB?

Aluminum PCB is also called MCPCB, Metal Core PCB, Aluminum Core PCB, Aluminum Backed PCB, Aluminum Clad PCB, Aluminum Plate
PCB Clad PCB, Aluminum Plate PCB and IMS PCB, whichever name you prefer, they are all boards which use Aluminum as base material
as the heat spreader portion of the circuit boards.Generally speaking, aluminum is the most economic option considering thermal
conductivity, rigidness, and cost (relatively cheaper than copper, normal steel and stainless steel). So in most applications, people always
use Aluminum as the base /core material to make Aluminum PCB /MCPCB. MCPCBs are used instead of traditional FR4 or CEM3 PCBs
because of the ability to efficiently dissipate heat away from the components. This is achieved by using a Thermally Conductive
Dielectric Layer.

The main difference between a FR4 board and MCPCB is the thermal conductivity dielectric material in the MCPCB. This acts as a
thermal bridge between the IC components and metal backing plate. Heat is conducted from the package through the metal core to

an additional heat sink. On the FR4 board the heat remains stagnant if not transferred by a topical heat sink. Some report shows that a
MCPCB with a 1W LED remained near an ambient of 25C, while the same 1W LED on a FR4 board reached 12C over ambient. LED PCB
always be produced with Aluminum core.

Aluminum PCB Advantages Heat Dissipation and Thermal Conductivity

Some LEDs dissipate between 25W of heat and failures occur when the heat from a LED is not properly removed a LEDs light output is
reduced as well as degradation when the heat remains stagnant in the LED package. The purpose of a MCPCB is to efficiently remove
the heat from all topical ICs (not just LEDs). The aluminum base and thermally conductive dielectric layer act as bridges between the
ICs and heat sink. One single heat sink is mounted directly to the aluminum base eliminating the need for multiple heat sinks on top of
the surface mounted components.

Thermal conductivity and contraction is the common nature of the substance, different CTE is different in thermal expansion. As its own
characteristics, aluminum have unique advance than normal FR4, thermal conductivity can be 0.8~3.0 W/c.K.

Multilayer Aluminum PCB /MCPCB

Under the expression of most people, there is only singsided Aluminum PCB /MCPCB. In fact, there are multilayer MCPCB.Multilayer IMS
PCBs are made from multiple layers of thermally conductive MCPCB dielectric material. In Heros Electronics, we can make singleside
and doubleside aluminum PCB.

Notes in MCPCB/Aluminum PCB manufacturing process

In the MCPCB / Aluminum PCB manufacturing process, MCPCB manufacturers should pay attention to the artwork fabrication, material
selection, image transferring, etching, surface finish and profile, etc.

1. There is side etching of Aluminum core PCB, factory must meet the accuracy of the trace so that need to do some trace
compensation when make working Gerber files, but compensation must be confirmed as per the value of side etched with different
MCPCB substrate thickness, the artwork is negative.

2. During the flow process of Aluminium PCB layer image, it usually use 0.3mm epoxy board, which the size is the same as the aluminium
PCB board, and use the tape to blockade and compaction to avoid solution infiltration. After the finish on copper surface, the best way
is to use the chemical micro etching, and then after board baking it should deal with wet film to prevent oxidation.

3. In the flow process of etching Aluminum PCB Board, need to use test boards to adjust the solution to ensure the best etching results.
After etching on Aluminum based PCB, the way is to use SN solution to do strip immediately. In the process of etching in Aluminium PCB,
need to use test boards to adjust the solution to ensure the best etching results.

4. Most of Aluminum PCB Manufacturers make the hole with diameter less than 6.0mm with NC drilling, but have to make the holes more
than 6.0mm with routing, which can not ensure the hole size 100% round. If there is strict requirement of round holes, they will ask make a
punching mould to make them more than 6.0mm.

5. Not like around 2008, nowadays more and more LED light designer and manufacturer has a demand of big Aluminum MCPCB or FR4,
like 1200mm or even to 1600mm. For such long Aluminum PCB, most Aluminum PCB suppliers cant provide since they havent big
enough equipment, like electroplate copper line, exposure machine, routing machine, related surface treatment line and routing
machine. As a professional PCB manufacturer, we can do it perfectly.
