Heavy Copper PCBs

Heavy Copper PCBs
Saturn Electronics Corporation Heavy Copper Multilayer Bare Board Manufacturing

At one point in recent history, Saturn Electronics Corporation, bare board manufacturer, was one of North America's largest users of heavy copper laminate, which we used in the production of power distribution boards for the automotive industry. We retained our skill set in precision etching heavy copper and applied it to other industries, namely the power supply industry. Furthermore, we applied our registration system to address concerns such as layer to layer winding registration, dry resin, and etch factors commonly seen by users of heavy copper multilayer boards. We commonly produce boards with 2, 3, 4, & 6 ounce copper with up to 20 layers.

I am very interested in heavy copper application to the printed wiring board. However, it has been difficult ascertaining information on heavy copper PCBs on the web. The information provided here is a nice overview as it pertains to Saturn Electronics but where can I find additional info? Especially in regards to current-carrying capacity, heavy copper plated vias in relation to external heat sinks and heat dissipation?

Also, would you happen to know of any IPC standards, studies, or presentations?

Heavy Copper PCBs provide engineers with the ability to scale up existing PCB-based designs to higher power levels while integrating signal, sense and power components on the board. Thanks a lot.
