Context Before

The glass fiber cloth upgrade aims to reduce the dielectric constant of CCL. Beside glass fiber cloth, resin is also a key factor contributing to dielectric constant. To achieve a desirable dielectric constant, the CCL makers have their unique recipes to their formulation of the two dielectric materials in the CCL. Currently, debate around the CCL spec is around the adoption of Quartz cloth (Q glass).

Quartz cloth is the next generation material that replaces the glass fiber cloth materials as the reinforcing layer, pushing dielectric constant even lower. Besides lower dielectric constant, quartz cloth also has the benefits of being stronger, more temperature resistance, and having a lower CTE. On the other hand, the cost is multiples higher than that of the highest-grade glass fiber cloth and is much harder to process at the PCB manufacturing level, leading to worse yield.

Evidence

Within VR NVL72, Quartz is initially adopted for the Orchid board and the midplane to allow the longest distance PCIe Gen 6 signal traveling through these two boards with as little insertion loss as possible

② Atomic Claim

VR NVL72 中,Quartz 最初用於 Orchid boardmidplane,以讓最長距離的 PCIe Gen 6 signal 通過這兩塊 boards 時,insertion loss 盡可能低。
