What are the advantages and disadvantages of multi-layer stacking?

The advantages of multi-layer stacking include:

  1. Higher circuit density, allowing for more components and circuits to be integrated.
  2. Better signal isolation, reducing crosstalk between signals.
  3. Improved signal integrity due to better impedance control.
  4. Enhanced heat dissipation capabilities through proper design.
  5. Space utilization efficiency is improved.

The disadvantages :

  1. Higher cost of manufacturing and materials.
  2. Design complexity is increased, requiring more sophisticated planning.
  3. Difficulty in testing and troubleshooting.
  4. There may be issues with layer-to-layer capacitance and inductance.
  5. Manufacturing process requirements are more stringent, with potential quality control challenges.
