What is RO4003C?

RO4003C™ is a hydrocarbon ceramic laminate from Rogers Corporation, designed to offer superior high-frequency performance with the ability to be fabricated using standard FR-4 epoxy/glass processing techniques. Unlike PTFE-based materials, RO4003C is a rigid thermoset laminate that does not require specialized via preparation (e.g., sodium etch) and is compatible with automated handling systems.

 

RO4003C is part of the RO4000® series, which includes RO4350B™ (higher Dk for miniaturization) and RO4835™ (enhanced oxidation resistance).

Key Advantages of RO4003C

 

FR-4 Compatible Processing – Can be fabricated using standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes. No specialized via preparation (sodium etch) required.

 

Stable Dk over Temperature & Frequency – TCDk of +40 ppm/°C is among the lowest of any circuit board material. Dk remains stable from 500 MHz to 40 GHz.

 

Low Dielectric Loss (Df 0.0027 @ 10 GHz) – Enables use in applications where higher frequencies limit conventional laminates.

 

Copper-Matched CTE – X/Y CTE of 11–14 ppm/°C closely matches copper (17 ppm/°C), providing excellent dimensional stability and reliable plated through-holes.

 

High Tg (>280°C) – Expansion characteristics remain stable over entire circuit processing temperature range.

What is a High-Frequency Hybrid PCB?

 

A High-Frequency Hybrid PCB is a multilayer printed circuit board that combines two or more different dielectric materials in a single stackup – typically a high-performance RF laminate (e.g., RO4003C) for signal layers and a standard or mid-performance material (e.g., FR4) for non-critical layers.

 

In this product:

 

RO4003C is used on Layer 1–2 (top RF section) for low loss, stable Dk, and controlled impedance.

 

FR4 TG175 is used on Layer 3–4 (bottom section) for mechanical support, power distribution, and cost reduction.

 

Why Use a Hybrid Construction?

Driver Explanation
Cost Optimization High-frequency materials (RO4003C) are expensive. FR4 is significantly cheaper. Using FR4 for non-critical layers reduces total board cost.
Mechanical Rigidity FR4 provides excellent mechanical strength and is well-suited for thick boards, connectors, and large form factors.
Thermal Management Hybrid stackups can be designed to place heat-generating components on the FR4 side with thermal vias to copper planes.
Design Flexibility Allows RF performance where needed (top layers) and standard digital/DC routing where performance requirements are lower (bottom layers).
Manufacturing Compatibility FR4 is universally understood by PCB fabricators. Hybrid boards can be processed with modifications to standard FR4 lines.
Advantages of High-Frequency Hybrid PCBs  
Advantage Description
Cost-Effective Reduces material cost by 30–60% compared to all-high-frequency laminates.
Excellent RF Performance Critical signal layers use low-loss, stable Dk materials.
Good Thermal Reliability RO4003C has Tg >280°C; FR4 TG175 supports lead-free assembly.
Standard Fabrication RO4003C is FR4-process-compatible – no PTFE-specific handling.
Reliable PTH Low Z-axis CTE of RO4003C (46 ppm/°C) combined with matched CTE to copper ensures via reliability.
Mixed Component Placement High-frequency components (RFICs, antennas) on RO4003C side; digital ICs, passives, connectors on FR4 side.

 

 

Disadvantages / Challenges of High-Frequency Hybrid PCBs

Disadvantage Description Mitigation
Registration Control Different CTE values between RO4003C (11–14 ppm/°C) and FR4 (14–18 ppm/°C) can cause layer-to-layer misregistration during lamination. Use matched prepreg systems; optimize lamination cycle.
Z-axis CTE Mismatch RO4003C Z-CTE = 46 ppm/°C; FR4 Z-CTE = 50–60 ppm/°C. Differential expansion stresses plated vias crossing the hybrid interface. Use ductile copper plating (25μm min); avoid vias directly at material transition.
Bonding Reliability Adhesion between RO4003C and FR4 requires careful prepreg selection (e.g., 2113 RC56% used here). Follow Rogers RO4400 bondply guidelines.
Material Cost Still higher than all-FR4 boards (but lower than all-high-frequency). Acceptable trade-off for required RF performance.
Fabrication Complexity Requires fabricator experienced with hybrid laminates; additional process controls needed. Partner with qualified suppliers (IPC-6012 Class 3).
Moisture Sensitivity RO4003C absorbs 0.06% moisture vs. FR4 ~0.1–0.2%. Minimal difference, but baking before assembly recommended. Standard pre-assembly bake (120°C for 2–4 hours).

 

 

When to Choose a Hybrid PCB

RF performance is required only on certain layers

Board size is large – all-high-frequency would be cost-prohibitive

Mechanical strength is needed (connectors, mounting holes)

Mixed-signal design (RF + high-speed digital + DC power)

Volume production – hybrid balances performance and cost

 

Choose all-high-frequency when:

All signal layers require low loss and stable Dk

Budget allows for premium material

Design is very sensitive to CTE mismatch (e.g., high-density interconnects)
