Introduction to PCB Manufacturing Machines : Types

　　In the ever-evolving world of electronics, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the unsung heroes that form the backbone of most electronic devices. From smartphones to industrial machinery, PCBs provide the essential connections between various components, ensuring that signals are transmitted effectively and reliably. As demand for electronic devices continues to surge, the need for efficient, high-quality PCB manufacturing has never been greater. This is where PCB manufacturing machines come into play.　　These machines are pivotal in the production process, transforming raw materials into complex circuit boards that meet stringent specifications. In this introduction, we will explore the different types of PCB manufacturing machines and highlight some of the key players in the industry.　　Types of PCB Manufacturing Machines　　1. PCB Fabrication MachinesPCB fabrication is the process of creating the physical circuit board from a design. This involves several key steps, each facilitated by specific types of machines:　　– Photoplotters: These are used to create photomasks for PCB production. A photomask is a plate with patterns that will be transferred onto the PCB’s surface. Photoplotters use high-precision imaging technology to ensure accurate pattern reproduction.　　– Drilling Machines: Once the PCB pattern is applied, drilling machines create holes for components and vias. These machines are equipped with high-speed spindles and precision control systems to ensure that holes are drilled accurately and efficiently.　　– Etching Machines: After drilling, the PCB is subjected to an etching process to remove unwanted copper and leave behind the circuit pattern. Etching machines use chemical solutions or abrasive materials to strip away excess copper while preserving the desired circuitry.　　– Laminators: Laminating machines are used to bond multiple layers of PCBs together. This process involves applying heat and pressure to laminate the layers into a single, multi-layer board. Laminators ensure that the layers are aligned correctly and that the adhesive bonds are strong.　　– Solder Mask and Silkscreen Printers: Solder masks are applied to prevent solder from bridging between circuit paths, while silkscreen printers add labels and markings to the PCB. These machines use advanced printing technologies to apply precise coatings and markings.　　2. PCB Assembly MachinesOnce the PCB is fabricated, it needs to be assembled with electronic components. This step involves several specialized machines:　　– Pick and Place Machines: These are crucial for the assembly process. Pick and place machines automatically position and place components onto the PCB. They use high-speed cameras and advanced algorithms to ensure components are placed accurately and efficiently.　　– Soldering Machines: There are various types of soldering machines used in PCB assembly. Wave soldering machines apply solder to the entire PCB at once, while reflow soldering machines use heat to melt solder paste and create precise solder joints. Selective soldering machines target specific areas for soldering, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive components.　　– Inspection Machines: Quality control is essential in PCB manufacturing. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machines use cameras and image processing to detect defects such as soldering errors, missing components, or alignment issues. X-ray inspection machines can inspect internal layers and connections that are not visible externally.　　3. PCB Testing MachinesTesting is a crucial step to ensure the functionality and reliability of the PCBs. Testing machines include:　　– In-Circuit Testers (ICT): These machines test the electrical connections and functionality of the PCB by probing each point and checking for continuity, shorts, and other electrical faults.　　– Functional Testers: Functional testers simulate the PCB’s operating environment to ensure that it performs as expected. These testers are used to evaluate the board’s overall functionality and identify any operational issues.

Samsung, Micron Battling for NAND Supremacy

　　Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology continue to fight for supremacy in the NAND market, with both companies recently announcing higher-density 3D NAND solutions—albeit with different nomenclatures.　　Samsung has opted to focus on 3D NAND bit density with the introduction of its 1-terabit (Tb) triple-level–cell eighth-generation vertical NAND (V-NAND), which the company claims is the industry’s highest bit density. Meanwhile, Micron has opted to present its latest 3D NAND in term of layers, having announced its 232-layer 3D NAND mid-year in 2022.　　Samsung’s eighth-gen V-NAND　　SungHoi Hur, executive vice president of flash product and technology at Samsung, told EE Times during an interview that the company achieved high bit density through a Cell-on-Peri (COP) structure, which the company introduced with its seventh-generation V-NAND.　　With a COP structure, a cell array area is placed above the peripheral. But even with a COP structure, part of the peripheral is placed outside of the cell, Hur said, meaning the cell array must be reduced along with the peripheral area below and next to the cell array to reduce chip size.　　Samsung first introduced its vertically stacked V-NAND flash in 2013. “Since then, we have been developing disruptive technologies to reduce the area and height of cells and have accumulated a great deal of Samsung know-how,” Hur said.　　That know-how includes Samsung’s high-aspect–ratio contact etching technology, which the company uses to reduce the area of the cell array. For the eighth-generation V-NAND, Samsung successfully minimized the area of all three parts from the previous generation to enable even more density, Hur added.　　A specific challenge that Samsung aims to address is avoiding the cell-to-cell interference that normally occurs with scaling down if the mold of the cell unit gets slimmer for scaling. “To counteract that interference, we have identified possible tradeoffs in performance first; then we moved on to solving the fundamental problems,” Hur said.　　He also noted that the purpose of Samsung’s solution was to develop an optimal operation scheme for minimizing interference during writing, applying a new material to the blocking layer in the cell to prevent electrons from bouncing out of the charge trap layer (CTL) due to voltage and improving the structure of the CTL.　　Hur said reaching this milestone means overcoming a variety of hurdles. From a structural perspective, the molds could lean to one side more easily as the total stack height continues to grow. “As the cells become closer and smaller, we have to fight with decreasing cell current as well as interference among cells,” he said. Samsung is working to lower the total stack height by leveraging the support structure used in its seventh-generation V-NAND and the multi-hole technology while also exploring new solutions, including an innovative cell structure using new materials.

Macroblock Puts Spotlight on LED Driver ICs at CES 2023

　　Macroblock, which is actively developing in new fields, has recently begun to harvest in the automotive market, and major international manufacturers have successively adopted Macroblock’s LED automotive driver ICs. In order to enhance brand visibility, Macroblock participated at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 held in Las Vegas, USA, for the first time. The exhibits included LED headlights, LED rear lights, and FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LED backlight modules of in-vehicle display.　　Headlights: Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB)　　At present, high-end car manufacturers have launched car models with adaptive driving beam by arranging multiple LEDs into matrix-shaped headlights. Each LED can be lit individually. With lens modules, comprehensive consideration of environmental information, geographical location and even driving speed, the angle of high beam or low beam is changed accordingly to improve driving safety. The more LEDs, the more flexibility to adjust illumination zones. The adaptive capabilities improve visibility to reveal critical objects such as pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and traffic signs while avoiding dazzling other drivers.　　Macroblock demonstrates the ADB system by using 100 LEDs and LED driver ICs MBI6353Q. Features of the driver IC are: 1) Flexible current design 2) 4,096 steps of brightness adjustment to fit ambient light change 3) Meet automotive safety integrity level ASIL B.　　Rear Light: Full-width Rear light　　In recent years, automakers have successively introduced LEDs into the application of rear lights. What they are looking for is high-tech and exquisite outline that LEDs bring. Auto manufacturers design rear lights or the third central brake lights in a strip or narrow shape, forming a full-width rear light. The visual extension is achieved by increasing the illuminated area, and cars are easier to identify when lit up at night. A higher-end design is capable of independent control of LEDs, and welcome light effect of rear light can be programmed variously.　　The exhibit is built in LED driver IC MBI5353Q that meets the automotive safety integrity level ASIL A, and the pitch of the module is 0.9375mm. The feature of independent control of LEDs are used for a rear trunk LED multi-function stripe to create more lighting effects and present a variety of appearance designs.　　FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LED Backlight Modules of In-vehicle Display　　Two FALD LED Backlight modules were exhibited in the booth, including: 1) The backlight module for a mini-LED interactive safe driving display, which has been adopted in mass-produced cars. The display is embedded on the steering wheel to provide the driver with driving information. The backlight module is built in Macroblock LED driver IC MBI5353Q that meets the automotive safety integrity level ASIL A, providing 16-bit grayscale, and only one driver IC can control local dimming zones up to 1,536, which not only brings fine images to a small-sized display, but also due to the high-brightness feature of LEDs make it possible to watch displays in bright sunlight without disturbance. 2) The curved local dimming backlight module is built in LED driver IC MBI6353Q, and its hybrid dimming technology can generate excellent low-grayscale images, and the environmental information can still be clearly captured even in dim light. In addition, Macroblock’s LED backlight driver ICs can provide automakers with flexible function design options for expanding application functions or simplifying circuit design.　　Macroblock which is gradually blooming in the automotive field, is based on the entrepreneurial spirit of constantly exploring the market. Expanding into the automotive market, Macroblock has accumulated a solid foundation in its automotive LED driver ICs certified by ACE-Q100 and ASIL A/B, and will continue to develop advanced products to tap into new opportunities in the future.

Analog Devices and Seeing Machines Collaborating on ADAS Solutions

　　Analog Devices Inc. and Seeing Machines are collaborating to support high-performance driver and occupant monitoring system (DMS/OMS) technology.　　Long-haul driving and congested traffic are two scenarios where driver fatigue and distraction often occur and frequently cause accidents, resulting in injury or worse. New and sophisticated advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are rapidly evolving to support safety across increasing, varied levels of autonomous capability.　　The collaboration pairs ADI’s advanced infrared driver and high-speed Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) camera connectivity solutions with Seeing Machines’ artificial intelligence (AI) DMS and OMS software to support powerful eye gaze, eyelid, head, and body-pose tracking system technology that more accurately monitors driver fatigue and distraction. The combined solution will readily meet European Commission General Safety Regulations (GSR) and European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) requirements. It is also conducive to enabling future occupant monitoring features and a range of in-cabin camera placement options, previously unworkable due to challenges related to power efficiency, functional safety, hardware footprint, and image quality.　　Semi-autonomous driving systems rely on in-cabin DMS and OMS to recognize and address driver fatigue and distraction. These systems must operate in all lighting conditions and require proper infrared lighting to ensure image quality on a frame-by-frame basis necessary for eye tracking in real time. The combined solution from ADI and Seeing Machines leverages ADI’s industry-first infrared driver for DMS and OMS, capable of delivering up to 100W of peak power in a compact and functionally safe solution. This allows for a non-intrusive, smaller camera module in a vehicle’s cabin.　　Seeing Machines’ AI software interprets signals from the optical hardware, monitors and diagnoses the problem, and combines with ADAS features to enable output signals to warn drivers and vehicle occupants when necessary.　　“Seeing Machines exists to get people home safely, and our work with ADI aims to support semi-autonomous driving with increased safety levels to deliver what we call ‘supervised automation’,” said Nick DiFiore, SVP and GM of Automotive at Seeing Machines. “ADI’s proven automotive-grade, near-infrared drivers and GMSL devices enable a sophisticated optical path to provide critical illumination and high-speed video bandwidth for real-world and real-time processing of interior cabin environments.”　　“Cabin monitoring is complex and requires careful integration of infrared illumination, image capture, data processing, and algorithm layers to achieve a real-time response,” said Yin Wu, Director of Automotive Product Line Management at Analog Devices. “Together with Seeing Machines, we are supporting the automotive industry with pragmatic solutions to help reduce collisions and save lives.”
