Difference between Substrate & Base material in Printed Circuit Board?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The primary distinction between substrate and base material in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) lies in their composition and application. PCBs typically utilize fiberglass materials, such as FR4, while Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) substrates are predominantly silicon-based. Additionally, VLSI substrates may incorporate copper plates for enhanced conductivity. Understanding these differences is crucial for professionals in electronics design and manufacturing.
