PCB cost depends on several factors, including:
- Number of layers
- Panelization efficiency
- Number of drilled holes
- Number of hole sizes (tool changes slow down production)
- PCB laminate material (choosing the right material can save cost for volume production)
- Trace width and part spacing (impacting manufacturing yield)
- Special requirements, such as controlled impedance, via-in-pad, blind/buried vias, microvias, etc., which can affect yield and complexity.
