To use a TechNet quote
It Depends
The usual quoted heat rise is 6 - 8 degC per minute between 60 and 140 degC.
(11-14 degF per minute between 140 and 284 degF) but this depends on what
your prepreg supplier recommends.
The applied pressure depends on the panel size being pressed. With a vacuum,
lower pressures can be used. Some maximum quoted figures are:-
Panel size 12"x12" - 250 psi. 18" x 16" - 300 psi. As before it depends on
what your pre-preg supplier recommends.
If you undercure in the press I guess that means the Tg will be lower which
will lead to more movement. Don't forget we're dealing with a plastic
material which has a transition or softening point, usually about 130 - 140
degC for standard FR4.
Below the Tg the CTE in the X & Y direction is around 11 ppm/degC. Above the
Tg the CTE is ........ much higher (over 100 ppm/degC but I can't remember
figure.

Would you care to comment on some specifics as to what you consider
too high a pressure, and too fast a heat up rate?
Also what would be the dimstab consequences (assume other properties
are OK) of slightly undercuring the resin system in the press (with no post
bake)? I know that such a panel can shrink a few hundred ppm if it sees
heat later on above Tg, which can be a nuisance. I've never really known
if the dimstab coming out of the press is actually worse, but it doesn't
seem to be.

Subject: Re: [TN] Dimensional stability
If you want to improve registration between layers you need to start way
sooner than the press.
Here are a few quick pointers to improving registration/stability.
Choose cores and pre-pregs carefully. Cores with a high glass to resin
ratio
will be better for stability.
Some pre-pregs give better results than others. I've always found 2116
better than 2125 for instance.
If you use compensation factors on inner layer artwork make sure they
reflect what the laminate is doing. (Signal layers will need more
compensation than ground layers).
Brushing can stretch inners. Chemical clean is better.
Always have copper around tooling holes in inner cores.
Make sure the heat up rate in the press is not too fast. If it's too fast
it
will give too much flow and "stretch" the inner cores.
Make sure the pressure is not too high use a vacuum press if possible.
Make sure the cure time is long enough to fully cure the resin.
Cool down rate should be the same as the heat up rate. (This affects bow &
twist more than stability.
Hope this helps

Fellow Technetters,
Pls suggest a way out of this problem
1. If I want to reduce the dimensional instability after Multilayer
pressing, what all the variables I should consider
2. By reducing the rate of cool down, will I be able to achieve the
required stability
Thanx in advance.
Warm regards,
Madhu
