February 2015 • The PCB Design Magazine 27 pears smooth but at the microscopic level, all materials exhibit surface irregularities. • The onset frequency of the RMS surface roughness effect is 1.28GHz for ED copper. • Typical values of surface roughness are 3um for the outer surface and 6um for the inner surface. • The smoothest surface HVLP material with 1.5um average surface roughness, will not exhibit any noticeable surface roughness effect up to 20GHz.
