PCB industry leaders asked 5G to explore the future opportunities and challenges of the industry
The following are the highlights of this session:
The CPCA chairman of radium said that since this year, we have made it more clear that PCB industry is an industry with growth and worth looking forward to in the 5G era, and at the same time, some supporting industries have increased to different degrees.In this case, we have a lot of industry enterprises in active in expanding capacity, as founder PCB and a lot of the electronic circuit is the earliest enterprise of guangdong province in China in the field of communication, these companies starting from 2 g, 5 g to the present, in the development of all the accumulated lots of experience and experience, facing the coming of the era of 5 g, they may have more advantages to seize the opportunity.

He also warns that it is not just the needs of carriers that need to be addressed, but also the needs of more pervasive future application scenarios, and that the market needs to be broader.He recommends better alignment of technology, trends and future capacity with the actual needs of customers, rather than mismatches in some products.
He thinks we can think more broadly, pay more attention to our market segments and strive to be a leader in them, so as to better cope with the coming of 5G era.
Mr. Liu shufeng, chairman of shengyi technology, put forward his analysis and insights on the new requirements and challenges raised by the advent of 5G era for material suppliers.
PCB industry leaders asked 5G to explore the future opportunities and challenges of the industry
He said, from the point of view of our materials, we are divided into the material 5G is narrow and broad.The narrow meaning is used for the construction of the acer station mainly used materials;Broadly speaking, there will be a large number of application scenarios after the completion of our basic 5G station, and at that time, 5G will continue to provide a large number of opportunities and markets for our industry.
He then focused on sharing narrow 5G materials.He said that the base station antenna, power amplifier, radio frequency and other areas need to use higher frequency and higher transmission speed of electronic substrate, with the increase of antennas, more frequency band, frequency increase, 5G base station for high frequency and high speed copper clad (CCL) demand increased significantly.Shengyi technology has made long-term research and preparation, developed relevant products and was fortunate to be recognized by customers.
He also pointed out that in the process of research and development, factors such as signal integrity and loss of terminal products need to be considered first, so the selection of materials is relatively special.For example, higher requirements are put forward in processing, which will increase the difficulty in the process of 5G materials related to PCB processing.

He said that because 5G materials need to pursue signal integrity and other requirements, a lot of efforts need to be made in raw materials, process control and other aspects.He also pointed out that 5G materials consume a lot of energy due to changes in performance, which also puts forward higher requirements for the stability of product quality.
He believes that how to ensure the stability of 5G materials is the difficulty facing material manufacturers, who are also trying to develop a variety of new materials, hoping to solve the problem through such development.At the same time, 5G technology continues to advance, and terminal products and PCB constantly put forward a variety of new requirements for them. How to constantly update and iterate the current products is also the challenge facing the material suppliers.
With the advent of 5G, everyone is laying out 5G, and some companies are worried whether it will lead to overcapacity.Dr Prismark jiang answers based on what he knows about the market.

'there is no overcapacity at this point in time,' he said.What they observe is that some of the key products in the supply chain are actually out of stock.He pointed out that there are three biggest impacts brought by 5G to the PCB industry, one is high frequency, the other is high speed, and the third is that 5G can bring infinite imagination. In such a scenario, the PCB needed has higher requirements.
Earlier this year, he thought, everyone is not ready, also did not expect 5 g era will come so fast, faced with the huge opportunities brought about by the 5 g, only a few companies really have to prepare, so they have improved on operating in 2019, especially domestic companies to represent, in the morning to see statistics, season to season 3 several per cent growth rate of 20 or 30.
However, at this point in time, most enterprises are not ready for the 5G era. Even if they have started to lay out 5G, there may be problems such as poor quality.It can be seen that there is currently no excess capacity phenomenon.He pointed out that maybe in two or three years there might be problems like that.He thinks the PCB industry should make more improvements in both technology and capacity.

In the sharing, Dr. Jiang also Shared his views on the global PCB industry layout and the changes in the industry shape.Especially in the face of trade frictions between China and the United States, many people may wonder if China's electronics industry has reached a turning point after the development of the past 20 or 30 years. China's PCB industry accounts for more than half of the global manufacturing.In response, he said that based on the data he had seen this morning, there was only one region in the world where PCB manufacturing was growing, and that was China.
With the advent of 5G era, the communication industry is just the strength of China's electronics industry, so it will definitely have a positive impact on China's electronics industry and PCB industry.He believes that PCB manufacturing in China remains competitive, and that the industry will continue to take root, especially in communications.
At present, the growth of overall manufacturing in China begins to slow down, showing an increase in domestic capital and a decline in foreign capital.There will be a partial shift to other regions, but that shift does not look like a big shift at the moment because the whole supply chain is relatively intact in China.But he also said that in the next few years in domestic development is not to say that to all the people are great, because the change of 5 g bring involves two important links, one is qualitative ascension, one is the technology can meet the demand, if not, in fact is not in the coming years to grasp the chance.
He believes that China will continue to play a key role in the PCB industry, and 5G will bring a lot of opportunities. He believes that the overall PCB industry will have a good development in China in the next few years, including materials, including HDI, including the board and so on.

Mr. Liu zhe, chief engineer of zte, mainly analyzed the difficulties and challenges brought by 5G.

In terms of quantity, compared with 4G at present, the number of 5G is nearly three times that of 4G. The increase in quantity actually requires a lot of investment for operators, which means it will be a big challenge for operators to recover the cost.
Another aspect is energy consumption.Because 5G needs a highly integrated, multi-functional and high-density design, there will inevitably be a relatively large energy consumption. Compared with 4G, 5G will consume three times the energy consumption, and the cost will naturally increase accordingly.At present, the government is inclined in policies to deal with this situation. In some places, the electricity price for 5G base stations will be reduced, which is a good phenomenon.In addition, it is very important for our industry to consider how to upgrade technology to adjust the changes in energy consumption.

In the era of 5G, the characteristics of 5G products lead to a sharp rise in operating costs of operators, which will inevitably be spread among users. The increase in user costs will make users less willing to purchase 5G products.In response to these problems, Chen Shared the company's efforts and results, he said, from the point of view, the right solution is to get the operator's approval.
Mr. Sun rui, President of founder PCB research institute, reported to you what research and development preparations founder PCB research institute has made to cope with this new era.

Founder PCB has been involved in circuit board manufacturing for 33 years, he said.During the past 30 years, founder PCB has always focused on the manufacturing of circuit boards in the communications industry, and its products mainly focus on two categories of core customers, one is the representative of huawei technologies, zte communications and other well-known domestic enterprises, and some overseas customers of communication equipment such as cisco and dell.The high frequency and high speed products mentioned by the previous experts, founder PCB, are also available for customers.
The second category is consumer terminal customers, such as huawei terminals, VIVO, amazon, etc., which mainly provide such high-density and high-complexity HDI products for mobile phones, tablet computers and wearable electronics.
He said that founder PCB research institute was established in 2008, and it is the first professional technical platform in the industry to research PCB materials and technology, including the transformation and integration of the achievements of some industries, universities and research institutes.
Since 2008, founder PCB has been jointly established with the university of electronic science and technology of China, the Hong Kong polytechnic university (polyu), and a number of other universities for more than 10 years.Founder PCB has several factories producing different products, including communication equipment, high-tier and multi-layer PCB factories, and sales terminal factories for this HDI. They are distributed in different regions. The research institute works closely with the factories of the company to closely meet the needs of core customers, and researches and reserves materials and processes for customers in advance.
But also to meet the 5 g era, institute around the did some new adjustments, new product technology development center set up special 5 g and 5 g new material research center, mainly from the material and process in two direction to meet the needs of the corporate clients, and supply of materials, equipment, friends and partners together to provide solutions to the customers.
He added that the academy is also doing some technical reserve research on materials needed for 5G high-level PCBS.At present, many customers also put forward high requirements on the signal integrity of the whole PCB. The institute has set up a signal integrity laboratory in cooperation with this aspect to provide customers with the test and analysis of signal integrity, and is now building a capability of their signal simulation.5G PCB also has higher and more stringent requirements for processing technology, for which founder PCB also proposed to do a precise process control of PCB technology.
Besides apple, others including huawei, zte, xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and samsung have all released their first batch of 5G phones, according to sun. Compared with 4G phones, 5G phones have more complex signals, higher integration and higher requirements for PCB.In this regard, founder PCB research institute, as well as the technical centers of the company's various factories, are making technical improvements in materials, processes and some emerging equipment in accordance with the needs of customers.
