Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a six-layer high-frequency hybrid circuit board, comprising the following steps: inner layer → lamination → ceramic grinding → primary dry film → primary micro-etching and copper reduction → primary resin grinding → primary drilling → primary electroplating → resin plugging → secondary resin grinding → secondary micro-etching and copper reduction → tertiary resin grinding → secondary electroplating → outer layer dry film → outer layer etching → AOI → solder mask → secondary drilling → profiling → testing → AVI → nickel-palladium-gold (NPG) → packaging. During the primary dry film step, the L6 surface is fully covered with dry film and exposed without removing the protective film. Both the primary and secondary micro-etching and copper reduction steps utilize an etching machine for copper reduction. This improves the manufacturing process, enhances copper reduction uniformity, prevents resin exposure at the surface plugging and capping, and enhances the quality of the hybrid circuit board.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of circuit board processing, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a six-layer high-frequency mixed-voltage circuit board. Background Art

[0002] The Chinese patent application, published as CN 110337200 A on October 15, 2019, discloses a method for manufacturing a high-frequency, mixed-pressure printed circuit board (HDI) comprising the following steps: cutting → inner layer → etching → inspection → browning → lamination → copper reduction → laser drilling → desmearing → copper deposition → hole filling → copper reduction → hole filling → copper reduction → drilling → desmearing → board printing → outer layer pattern transfer → etching → AOI inspection → solder mask printing → text printing → molding → flying probe testing → silver deposition → appearance inspection → packaging. This method solves the problem of incomplete hole filling in high-frequency, mixed-pressure HDI boards; it optimizes the hole filling and surface copper ratio parameters of high-frequency, mixed-pressure HDI boards, improves the quality issues of thick surface copper and poor uniformity in traditional processes, and reduces labor and material costs.
