Therefore, the leakage caused by the inner layer copper migration of the FPC multilayer board is one of typical failure modes of the FPC multilayer board, and the failure is obvious after a period of use due to the fact that the leakage belongs to the loss type failure, and once the failure loss is large, the inner layer copper migration detection and evaluation of the board is very critical before the product leaves a factory and even before the board is used in batches.
