Physical Composition of PCB


Most PCBs are composed of between one and sixteen conductive layers separated and supported by layers of insulating material (substrates) laminated (glued with heat, pressure & sometimes vacuum) together.

Layers may be connected together through drilled holes called vias. Either the holes are electroplated or small rivets are inserted. High-density PCBs may have blind vias, which are visible only on one surface, or buried vias, which are visible on neither.
