How to Make a 2-Sided PCB Board
- 1). Design the PCB using CAD software. The software allows the design of a number of layers. Here is a suggested way to separate the layers:
Layer 0: PCB outline
Layer 1: Copper layer for side A of PCB
Layer 2: Copper layer for side B of PCB
Layer 3: Drilled holes - 2). Save the CAD drawings as a Gerber file. This is the industry standard for PCB manufacturers.
Saving as a Gerber file will create a file for each each layer in the drawing. - 3). Decide upon the "Copper weight" . This is the thickness of the copper tracks on the board
Create a text document that describes the contents of each layer, specify the board dimensions and copper weight. - 4). E-mail the Gerber files and text document to a PCB manufacturer. They will typically get back to the you within a few days and send a PDF of the design. The PDF should be reviewed before the manufacturing process begins.
