FAQ:
Q:what is thermal conductivity?
A:
Your circuit board substrate and copper conductors are the primary factors that determine how heat will move around the board. Your components will generate heat during operation, illustrating the importance of estimating thermal conductivity of a PCB. The thermal properties of your circuit board substrate are one factor that determine temperature rise in your components (particularly junction temperature) and heat flux away from critical components.
In order to determine whether you should include active and passive thermal management measures in your printed circuit board, you can use some methods of estimating thermal conductivity of a PCB. This can help you estimate the temperature rise in your board using the power dissipation values for your components. Some simple layout and stackup choices in your circuit board can help change the temperature difference between various regions of your board, which helps ensure your printed circuit board operates at an acceptable temperature.
Thermal analysis is printed circuit board design is vital for ensuring desired performance and longevity of your next product. Your goal in circuit board design should be to design a system that provides the desired functionality over the longest possible lifetime. Understanding how to estimate thermal conductivity of a PCB and selecting the appropriate components that can operate under this condition will ensure your next printed circuit board remains reliable.
As components run in your circuit board and the junction temperature rises, the thermal resistance of your substrate will determine how heat transports to cooler areas of the board. If you know the thermal conductivity of your substrate and copper, you can estimate the effective thermal conductivity of your entire circuit board and calculate the approximate thermal resistance. In the event that your components generate too much heat and temperature rise is too great, you can determine whether to add a heat sink or some active cooling measures to your board in order to reduce the junction temperature in switching components.
As a fundamental property of any material, thermal conductivity defines the heat flux between hot and cold regions in your PCB. The thermal conductivity of your substrate material can be found in material datasheets. However, once you have an idea of your stackup and copper weight in your layout, you will want to calculate the effective thermal conductivity of your substrate. Formulas for calculating this directly vary depending on who you ask, although there are a number of lumped models in the literature. The simplest method is to use a weighted average based on the volume of copper and substrate material in your PCB:
Effective thermal conductivity estimate based on a volume weighted average of your PCB material parameters
The above equation shows a simple volume weighted average for calculating the effective thermal conductivity, where “s” indicates the substrate and “c” indicates copper. However, this is just a rough estimate, and you’ll get much more accurate results if you use a specialized 3D multiphysics simulator. Once you’ve determined the effective thermal conductivity of your PCB, you’re ready to calculate the thermal resistance in your board, which will give you some idea of how heat will transfer through your stackup.
Thermal resistance is influenced by the same structures that determine the effective thermal conductivity of your PCB. Traces, thermal pads, vias, plane layers, and your stackup materials will collectively determine the effective thermal conductivity. Once you’ve determined this, you can calculate the thermal resistance along the thickness direction with the following equation:
Thermal resistance equation
Similarly, you can calculate the thermal resistance of your board along the surface direction using the board’s cross sectional area. Finally, you can then calculate the heat flow rate in your board q, which is equal to the temperature gradient divided by the thermal resistance.
Using copper thermal reliefs and thermal pads on active components also helps remove heat into a copper plane or a heatsink, respectively. Once heat is transferred into a heatsink, it can be removed by taking advantage of airflow across the surface of the heatsink. When combined with proper stackup design and substrate material selection, you can reduce the number and/or size of active cooling measures you need to implement during PCB design.

Stackup design for an HDI board
Thermal resistance is simply the thermodynamic analog of electrical resistance. The easiest way to reduce thermal resistance is to use a substrate with high thermal conductivity. Some common alternative substrate materials include ceramics, which have very high thermal conductivity compared to FR4. Another option is metal core PCBs, where the central core layer of the board is some metal with high conductivity.
Using thicker copper traces provides two benefits; first, thicker copper traces can carry more current for a given operating temperature. In other words, they will experience a lower temperature rise due to heat dissipation. Second, once copper traces do experience a temperature rise, heat diffuses away from conductors at a higher rate as copper has high thermal conductivity. Both aspects of copper conductors help reduce temperature rise in your board and make the temperature distribution more uniform.
Ceramic materials carry greater manufacturing costs due to the specialized processes they require, but they provide factors of 20 to 100 higher thermal conductivity compared to FR4. Metallic core substrates provide similarly high thermal conductivity. Any of these options are an excellent choice for moderately high frequency applications and will provide low thermal resistance. PTFE laminates with a metal core may be a better choice from the perspective of balancing dielectric losses and thermal management in microwave and mmWave applications.
