　　We strictly select ultra-thin, lightweight medical-grade materials to lay the foundation for miniaturization and wearability: ① Base material: Ultra-thin high-Tg (≥170℃) FR-4 or flexible polyimide (PI) substrates (thickness 0.2-0.4mm), balancing structural stability and lightweight requirements, with flexible substrates adaptable to curved wearable surfaces; ② Conductive material: Ultra-thin high-purity oxygen-free copper foil (thickness 12-18μm), reducing PCB overall thickness while ensuring stable conductivity; ③ Solder mask & Adhesive: Ultra-thin medical-grade solder mask ink (thickness 8-12μm) and low-profile adhesives (compliant with USP Class VI), minimizing volume occupation and ensuring biocompatibility (no skin irritation); ④ Component matching: Cooperate with ISO-certified suppliers to select ultra-miniature SMD components (01005 size, 0.4mm×0.2mm) and chip-scale packages (CSP), further reducing PCB size. All materials undergo rigorous biocompatibility and mechanical stability testing to adapt to long-term wearable contact scenarios.

　　2. High-Integration Miniaturized Layout & Circuit Design

　　Our R&D team adopts advanced layout and circuit design strategies to maximize integration and miniaturization: ① HDI technology application: Implement advanced HDI (High-Density Interconnect) technology with line width/line spacing ≤1mil/1mil, and microvia design (diameter ≤0.1mm) to achieve high-density component placement, reducing PCB area by 30-50% compared to traditional PCBs; ② Multi-layer integration design: Design 4-12 layer miniaturized PCBs, reasonably arranging signal layers, power layers, and ground layers to improve space utilization and reduce horizontal size; ③ Functional module integration: Integrate sensing, signal processing, wireless transmission (Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi), and power management modules into a compact layout, eliminating redundant connection structures; ④ Low-power optimization: Match miniaturized design with low-power circuit design, selecting low-quiescent current components and optimizing power management to ensure long battery life (supporting 7-30 days of continuous use); ⑤ EMC compatibility design: Integrate miniaturized filtering and shielding structures to avoid electromagnetic interference between dense components, ensuring stable signal transmission for wearable monitoring. All designs undergo 3D layout simulation to verify compatibility with wearable device structures and comfort.

　　3. Precision Manufacturing Process for Miniaturization & Reliability

　　We adopt high-precision manufacturing processes to ensure the reliability of miniaturized wearable PCBs: ① Microvia manufacturing: Use laser drilling technology to process ultra-small microvias, ensuring high precision and reliable interconnection between layers; ② Fine-pitch assembly: Adopt high-precision SMT assembly equipment (positioning accuracy ±0.03mm) to mount ultra-miniature components, avoiding soldering defects caused by small component size; ③ Ultra-thin lamination: Use vacuum hot-pressing lamination technology to ensure firm bonding of ultra-thin multi-layer substrates, avoiding delamination; ④ Cleanroom production: Conduct manufacturing in Class 10000 cleanroom facilities to avoid contamination of miniaturized circuits and components; ⑤ Full-process traceability: Assign unique batch numbers to each PCB, with complete records of materials, manufacturing steps, and testing data, ensuring traceability of miniaturized product quality. All manufacturing equipment is regularly calibrated to maintain high-precision processing capabilities.

　　4. Wearable-Scenario Adaptability Enhancement

　　We enhance PCB adaptability to meet the unique requirements of wearable scenarios: ① Mechanical flexibility (for flexible wearable devices): For curved wearable structures, use flexible PI substrates that can withstand repeated bending (10,000+ cycles) without performance degradation; ② Wear resistance & scratch resistance: Adopt enhanced solder mask and surface treatment (ENIG) to improve surface hardness, resisting scratches during daily wear; ③ Sweat resistance: Optimize surface sealing and solder mask coverage to resist corrosion from sweat (containing salt, urea, etc.), ensuring stable performance during long-term skin contact; ④ Temperature adaptability: Ensure stable operation under human body temperature (36-37℃) and ambient temperature changes (-10℃ to 45℃), adapting to diverse usage environments. All adaptability enhancement measures are validated through simulated wearable environment testing.

　　Strict Quality Control System for Miniaturized Wearable Reliability

　　We operate a comprehensive quality control system fully aligned with ISO 13485 and FDA QSR 820, with specialized testing items for miniaturized wearable PCBs. Advanced high-precision testing equipment and rigorous inspection procedures ensure each PCB meets both miniaturization requirements and medical-grade reliability standards. Key quality control links include:

　　Raw Material Inspection: Inspect ultra-thin, lightweight materials for thickness accuracy, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and electrical performance using high-precision thickness gauges, tensile testing machines, and biocompatibility test labs. Only materials with complete certification documents and passing all tests are approved for production, with full batch traceability.

　　Design Verification & Validation: Conduct 3D layout simulation to verify miniaturization and device compatibility; perform signal integrity analysis to ensure stable transmission in high-density circuits; carry out functional validation under simulated wearable conditions (bending, temperature changes, sweat immersion) to confirm meeting medical monitoring requirements. All miniaturized design parameters are documented and archived.

　　In-Process Inspection: Use high-precision automated optical inspection (AOI, detection accuracy ±0.5μm) and X-ray inspection equipment to inspect miniaturized circuit dimensions, microvia quality, and ultra-small component placement accuracy. Monitor key manufacturing parameters (laser drilling power, lamination pressure, soldering temperature) in real time, implementing Statistical Process Control (SPC) to ensure process stability.

　　Finished Product Comprehensive Testing: Conduct rigorous testing on all finished miniaturized wearable medical PCBs: ① Dimensional accuracy testing (length, width, thickness, line width/line spacing, microvia diameter); ② Electrical performance testing (continuity, insulation resistance, impedance, signal transmission, wireless communication performance); ③ Wearable environment adaptability testing (bending fatigue, sweat corrosion, temperature cycling, scratch resistance); ④ Biocompatibility testing (skin irritation, sensitization) compliant with ISO 10993; ⑤ Low-power performance testing (standby power, working power consumption, battery life simulation); ⑥ Visual inspection (no defects such as scratches, solder mask peeling, or component misalignment). 100% inspection is implemented for key wearable monitoring PCBs, with AQL 0.65 sampling inspection for general products—unqualified products are strictly rejected.
