F4BTME High Frequency PCB with reverse-treated (RTF) copper foil
F4BTME High Frequency PCB
Introduction
This series laminates are made by scientifically formulating fiberglass cloth, nano-ceramic filling, and polytetrafluoroethylene resin, followed by strict pressing processes. The series is based on the F4BM dielectric layer, with the addition of high dielectric and low loss nano-level ceramics, resulting in higher dielectric constant, improved heat resistance, lower thermal expansion coefficient, higher insulation resistance, and better thermal conductivity, while maintaining low loss characteristics.
F4BTM and F4BTME share the same dielectric layer but use different copper foils: F4BTM is paired with ED copper foil, suitable for applications without PIM requirements, while F4BTME is paired with reverse-treated (RTF) copper foil, offering excellent PIM performance, more precise line control, and lower conductor loss.
Features & Benefits

Final (F4BTME series aluminum-based/copper-based substrates)
F4BTME series of laminates can provide aluminum-based or copper-based materials, where one side of the dielectric layer is covered with copper foil, and the other side of the dielectric layer is covered with either aluminum-based or copper-based material. This arrangement serves the purpose of shielding or heat dissipation.
For examples, F4BTME350-CU represents F4BTME350 series with copper-based substrate.
