Introduction of RO4003C material

The Rogers Corporation manufactures woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon ceramic-filled laminates known as RO4003C high frequency materials. It can be manufactured using materials made of epoxy resin and shares the same electrical characteristics as PTFE/woven glass. Once working frequencies reach 500 MHz and beyond, designers have a much smaller number of laminates to choose from. Designers of RF microwave circuits, matching networks, and controlled impedance transmission lines can rely on the features of RO4003C material. Higher operating frequencies prevent the use of standard circuit board materials in many applications, while low dielectric loss enables RO4003C material to be employed in those applications. The dielectric constant is consistent across a wide frequency range and has one of the lowest temperature coefficients of any circuit board material. The thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) of the RO4003C material offers the PCB designers a number of significant advantages. Due to its identical expansion coefficient to that of copper, RO4003C exhibits high dimensional stability, a quality required for the creation of mixed dielectric multi-layer boards. Even in applications that need extreme thermal shock, the RO4003C's low Z-axis CTE ensures dependable plated through-hole quality. The expansion characteristics of the RO4003C material are steady over the whole temperature range of PCB processing thanks to its Tg of >280C.
