Analytical Review of PCB Manufacturing Technologies

Abstract

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) serve as the backbone of modern electronic systems. From consumer electronics to industrial automation and aerospace systems, PCBs enable the integration of complex electrical functions into compact, efficient, and reliable packages. This paper presents an in-depth analytical review of PCB manufacturing technologies using the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion). The review examines traditional and advanced manufacturing techniques, compares their performance and applicability, and explores current trends and innovations in the industry. By synthesizing information from scholarly sources and industry practices, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technological landscape of PCB fabrication.
