What are the first steps in developing a circuit board?

[hannover90]

Dear all,

I've already designed my chip for tape out, which contains of 3 different analog circuits.

Accoording to the chip, I want to develop a circuit board for the first time. Unfortunately, I don't have any knowladge.

Could you please give me some advise, how can I start, what are the first steps and which points are important to develop the board.

Thank you very much in advance.

hi,
let me know which tool r u using to develop PCB tool according to that i will try to reply.but before some basic you need,
1.Draw the schematic in tool,generate the Bill of material and Manufacturer part no and the download the datasheet after that create the footprint for that symbol.
2.Map the Footprint with schematic symbol and then generate the net list and import the net list in layout tool
3.draw the board outline in layout tool and then place the component and then route the signal from source to destination and the complete the all the signal like that
4.generate drill file and gerber file this is the basic i shortly explain to you but it is big process depends on design
