Frequently Asked Questions About Narrow-Format Substrate
What is a Narrow-Format Substrate?
A Narrow-Format Substrate is a substrate designed with a reduced width or elongated geometry for applications where conventional substrate dimensions are not suitable.
Dimensions are normally customized according to the available installation space and application requirements.
What is the minimum width available?
There is no single standard minimum width.
The achievable width depends on the substrate material, length, thickness, circuit structure, dimensional tolerance and manufacturing requirements.
Customers can submit drawings for engineering evaluation.
Can you manufacture long and narrow substrates?
Yes.
ALCANTA can evaluate long and narrow substrate structures according to the required dimensions, material system, thickness and circuit design.
What materials can be used?
Depending on the application, ALCANTA can evaluate:
- BT
- ABF
- FR-4
- Polyimide
- Glass
- Ceramic
- Metal-Based Materials
- High-Frequency Materials
