Why are PCB multilayer boards all even-numbered layers?

Why are PCB multilayer boards all even-numbered layers?

It can be manufactured in a PCB factory. The four-layer board generally uses a core with one copper foil on each sideand a three-layer board with one copper foil on one side. They must be pressed together.

The process cost difference between the two is that the four-layer board has one more copper foil and bonding layer. The cost difference is not significant. When the PCB factory makes a quote, they are generally quoted on an even number basis. Also, 3-4 layers are commonly quoted as a grade. (For example:If you design a 5-layer board, the other party will quote at the price of a 6-layer board. That is to say, the price you design for 3 layers is the same as the price you design for 4 layers.)

In the PCB process technology, the four-layer PCB board is better controlled than the three-layer board, mainly in terms of symmetry. The warpage of the four-layer board can be controlled below 0.7% (IPC600 standard), but the size of the three-layer board is large. At that time, the warpage will exceed this standard, which will affect the reliability of the SMT assembly and the entire product. Therefore, the designer shouldnot design the odd-numbered layer board. Even if the odd-numbered layer is necessary, it will be designed as a fake even-numbered layer. That is to design 5 layers into 6 layersand 7 layers into 8 layers.

Multilayer PCB or multilayer printed circuit boards are circuit boards composed of two or more conductive layers (copper layers). The copper layer is pressed together by the resin layer (prepreg). Due to the complexity of the multilayer PCB manufacturing process, low production volume, and difficulty in rework, their prices are relatively higher than a single layer and double-sided PCB.

Oneseine manufacture multilayer PCB up to 56 Layer , accept pure single material or mixed-press materials :Fr4,Rogers,Polymide,metal Core .

Due to the increase in the packaging density of integrated circuits, a high concentration of interconnection lines has resulted, which necessitates the use of multilayer PCB. Unforeseen design problems such as noise, stray capacitance, and crosstalk have appeared in the printed circuit layout. Therefore, the printed circuit board design must minimize the length of signal lines and avoid parallel routes. Obviously, in the PCB single-sided board, even the double-sided board, due to the limited number of crosses circuit that can be achieved, these requirements cannot be satisfied. In the case of a large number of interconnection and crossover requirements, the PCB circuit board must be expanded to more than two layers to achieve satisfactory performance. Thus a multilayer circuit board has appeared. Therefore, the original intention of manufacturing multilayer circuit boards is to provide more freedom in selecting appropriate wiring paths for complex and noise-sensitive electronic circuits.
