    thomas anderson
    The document discusses various multilayer PCB configurations that can be fabricated from 4 layers up to 16 layers. It provides examples of common stackups for 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 layer boards. Key aspects addressed include the number of routing and plane layers, board thickness limits, signal layer placement relative to planes, and uses of different configurations. ALLPCB is capable of fabricating up to 40 layer boards.

    4-16 Layer PCB Stackup

    In this pdf file, you can see the most common 7 kinds of multilayer PCB configurations.

    There is really no limit to the number of layers that can be fabricated in a multilayer PCB. Of
    course, the board thickness increases as the layer count goes up to accommodate the minimum
    thickness of materials used. Also the aspect ratio (board thickness to smallest hole diameter) has
    to be considered. Generally this is 10:1 for boards thicker then 100MIL.

    ALLPCB.com can fabricate up to 40 layer PCB boards.

    4 Layer PCB Stackup

    A typical 4 layer PCB board stackup includes two routing layers and two internal planes, one for
    ground and the other for power.

    It is common to see 4 layer boards stacked evenly. Another common mistake is to have the
    planes closely coupled in the centre with large dielectrics between the signal layers and planes.

    To improve the EMC performance of a 4 layer PCB board, it is best to space the signal layers as
    close to the planes as possible (< 10 MIL), and use a large core (~ 40 MIL) between the power and
    ground plane keeping the overall thickness of the substrate to ~ 62 MIL.

    6 Layer PCB Stackup


    The classic 6 layer PCB stackup includes 4 routing layers (two outer and two internal) and two
    internal planes (one for ground and the other for power). This improves the EMI dramatically as
    it provides two buried layers for high-speed signals and two surface layers for routing low speed
    signals.

    8 Layer PCB Stackup

    To improve EMC performance, add two more planes to the 6 layer PCB stackup. It is not
    recommended to have more then two adjacent signal layers between the planes as this creates
    impedance discontinuities (~20 ohms difference in impedance of signal layers) and increases
    crosstalk between these signal layers.

    10 Layer PCB Stackup

    A 10 layer PCB board should be used when 6 routing layers and 4 planes are required and EMC is
    of concern. This typical 10 layer PCB stackup is ideal because of the tight coupling of the signal
    and return planes, the shielding of the high speed signal layers, the existence of multiple ground
    planes, as well as a tightly coupled power/ground plane pair in the center of the board. High
    speed signals normally would be routed on the signal layers buried between planes (layers 3-4
    and 7-8 in this case).

    12 Layer PCB Stackup

    12 layers is the largest number of layers that can usually be conveniently fabricated in a 62MIL
    thick board. Occasionally you will see 14 to 16 layer boards fabricated as a 62MIL thick board,
    but the numbers of fabricators capable of producing them are limited to those that can produce
    HDI boards.

    14 Layer PCB Stackup


    The 14 layer PCB stackup is used when 8 routing (signal) layers are required plus special shield of
    critical nets is required. Layers 6 and 9 provide isolation for sensitive signals while layers 3 & 4
    and 11 & 12 provide shielding for high speed signals.

    14 Layer PCB Stackup

    16 Layer PCB Stackup

    A 16 layer PCB provides 10 layers of routing and is normally used for extremely dense designs.
    Generally, you see 16 layer PCBs where the routing technology used in the EDA application.
