I realize that this is a sales issue so please reply off TechNet.

I'm doing cost research for Telegen Lab's VP of Engineering on the cost 
of printed circuit boards for a consumer product in the early stages of 
development.  What we need to know are the costs PCBs made of various 
dielectrics by the square inch and the number of layers of the board.  
Also, what the minimum lot charges are for prototyping and how many 
square inches of board the minimum will buy us.

I understand that there is not enough detail here to give a very 
accurate estimate, but she wants to get an idea if her invention will
be able to be produced in the price range she expects to be able to
reach the market.  A general idea of production parameters are 25,000
to 50,000 6"x6" boards per year with surface mount components (finest
pitch to be .025") both sides and width/air gap of .008/.007".

                      Production  Proto  Min Lot
Material   # of layers  $/SQin.  $/SQin.  Charge

FR-4		6	_______	 _______  _______

FR-4		8	_______	 _______  _______

FR-4		16	_______	 _______  _______

FR-4		30	_______	 _______  _______

What other dialectric materials do you offer in the normal course of 
your business?  (please include material specs. or a pointer [web 
address] to where I can get them, if possible)
