Problems solved by technology

The circuit pattern is plated on the surface of the PCB, which is higher than the surface of the PCB, and it is easy to scratch and touch, resulting in dents and pollution on the board surface, resulting in rough plating on the board surface
Furthermore, due to the influence of the wet etching process, the antenna made by the traditional etching method has poor undercut pattern accuracy and large line width and line gap tolerance. Radar affects radar performance to varying degrees

Embodiment 1

[0070] All the radar antenna circuit boards made by non-etching process and embedded in or embedded on the PCB substrate by lamination method belong to the scope of protection of this patent. Radar sensor antenna circuit board (radar sensors include microwave, millimeter wave, ultrasonic, laser, infrared, camera).

[0071] Since the microstrip feeder and the microstrip copper array element are coplanar, they can be etched together during processing, so it is very convenient to use the microstrip line to feed the microstrip array unit. The feed structure uses a microstrip line to feed the center of the broadside, and the feed line and the copper pad are on the same plane, such as figure 1 As shown, a slot with a width of Sw is opened on the copper sheet, and the feeder is inserted into the middle of the copper pad for electricity. Sl is the distance between the feed point and the edge of the copper PAD, and Sw is the slot width. By adjusting the size of Sl and Sw, the input im...

Embodiment 2

[0073] In order to achieve the best antenna performance, the feeder line width of the microstrip antenna is generally designed to be 0.124mm and the distance from the feeder to the slot edge is designed to be 0.10mm. Then, in order to take into account the 25um copper thickness in the hole during PCB processing, the general surface copper thickness must be at least 38um. .

[0074] Because the traditional DES and SES etching are affected by etching temperature, concentration, PH value, etching factor and pool effect, it is difficult to accurately etch the line width and line gap pattern for a line width of 0.124mm and a line gap of 0.1mm, which will affect the performance of the Radar sensor .

[0075] For this reason, this patent researches a new antenna circuit board manufacturing process technology, and adopts the method of non-etching and embedding lines to manufacture millimeter-wave Radar antennas, thereby avoiding graphic variation due to etching factors, uneven line wi...

Abstract

The invention provides a manufacturing process of an embedded radar antenna PCB. The manufacturing process sequentially comprises the steps: A, preliminary pattern electroplating; B, dry film removing; and C, embedded antenna manufacturing. According to a traditional millimeter wave radar antenna circuit board, an antenna pattern is obtained through outer-layer pattern transfer, pattern electroplating and outer-layer wet etching. The radar antenna circuit board is manufactured through a non-etching method; an antenna is directly electroplated on a copper-foil-loaded substrate through pattern electroplating; and then, the antenna is embedded into a PCB through lamination. The process has the advantages of accurate pattern, zero line width and line gap tolerance and zero undercut; and sincethe antenna is embedded in the PCB, dents and copper nodules caused by scratching and pollution in the outer layer machining process are avoided, and the performance and the yield of the PCB are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of PCB manufacturing, in particular to a PCB manufacturing process for an embedded radar antenna. Background technique [0002] Due to the continuous improvement of automobile safety standards and the level of automobile electronics in various countries around the world, as well as the growing demand for driving safety, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) with active safety technology is showing a momentum of rapid development. Sensor technology is one of the key core technologies of automotive electronics. The innovative development of various sensor technologies provides technical feasibility for active safety. Automotive microwave / millimeter wave radar sensors are one of the core components to realize this function. Microwave / millimeter-wave radar uses the target's reflection of electromagnetic waves to find the target and determine its position. The millimeter wave frequency is high and the wavelength is...
