Dielectric Material Selection
for
High-speed PCB Design
Beyond Design
by Barry Olney | In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd (iCD) | Australia
Over the years, a huge range of materials have been developed for multilayer PCB fabrication. In fact to
give you an idea, iCD now has a choice of over 700 series of dielectric materials from over 60 different
manufacturers, in its dielectric materials library. When each material is used for the right target
application, the resultant PCB will have the lowest possible cost while still satisfying the design and
performance goals of the project. We live in a material world and selecting the best material for an
application is often a daunting task. In this series of columns, I will look at how to quickly sort through
the vast array of choices to make an informed decision.
