Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit board manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing a multi-layer thermoelectric separation buried copper plate. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of technologies such as 5G communications, artificial intelligence, new energy vehicles, LED lighting, and wearable devices, electronic devices are rapidly developing towards high integration and miniaturization. Such devices require printed circuit boards to carry more components in a limited space and meet the dual needs of high-speed signal transmission and efficient heat dissipation. In traditional printed circuit board design, heat dissipation modules and conductive lines are often laid out independently, and embedded copper blocks are usually only used as single-function carriers. When used only for heat dissipation, copper blocks cannot take into account the conductive needs, and additional conductive lines need to be designed, increasing the number of PCB layers and complexity; when used only for conduction, the heat dissipation capacity is insufficient, especially for power devices (such as power modules and RF chips), heat accumulation can easily lead to local overheating and affect signal stability; and the thermoelectric path in the traditional design is not effectively separated, which will also cause thermoelectric coupling interference, such as temperature changes affecting conductive properties, or current loss exacerbating heat generation, making it difficult to achieve coordinated optimization of heat dissipation and conductivity in high-density scenarios. This heat dissipation and conductive separation design often leads to low copper resource utilization and redundant printed circuit board area, making it difficult to adapt to the development trend of miniaturization and multi-function. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a multi-layer thermoelectric separation buried copper plate, comprising the following steps: Preparation of inner core board: Cut the insulating substrate into target size according to design requirements, and laminate the surface of the insulating substrate with the first copper foil to obtain the copper clad laminate. Then, set the cursor point at the gong position of the copper clad laminate, and use laser to drill foolproof holes to obtain the inner core board. Grooving and embedding copper blocks: according to the size of the copper block, grooves are made at the designated position of the inner core board. The groove depth is slightly greater than the thickness of the copper block. After the copper block is embedded in the groove, the first prepreg is pasted, the edge is aligned with the cursor point, and pressed at one time to form the second outer core board; Rough drilling of through holes: Drilling the initial through hole on the copper block and pre-enlarging the hole diameter. The initial through hole penetrates the copper block; Filling resin: injecting resin into the pre-enlarged initial through hole and heating to cure; Making the sub-outer pattern: coating the surface of the sub-outer core board with dry film, etching the first copper foil after exposure and development to form the sub-outer conductive circuit, the distance between the sub-outer conductive circuit and the edge of the copper block is ≥0.5mm; Preparation of outer core board: Lay the second prepreg and the second copper foil on the surface of the second outer core board, align the edges with the cursor points, and perform secondary lamination to obtain the outer core board; Drilling conductive holes and heat dissipation holes: Drill blind holes on one side of the outer core board, control the depth to penetrate to the surface of the copper block to form a thermal conductive hole, and drill conductive holes on the resin-filled area at the same time, fill the thermal conductive holes with copper, plate the inner wall of the conductive holes with copper, and then brown or gold-plate the surface of the outer core board to obtain the finished product.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure during the first pressing and the second pressing is 7 to 9 tons / m 2 The temperature is 130~170℃ and the duration is 30~60min.
[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the first copper foil and the second copper foil is 18-35 μm.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the copper block is divided into a heat dissipation area and a conductive area, and thermal and electrical separation is achieved through independent through-hole and blind-hole designs. Components that require electrical conduction and components that require thermal conduction can be added to the copper block at the same time, and efficient heat conduction and stable signal transmission are achieved without interfering with each other. This partition design allows the copper block to be used not only for heat dissipation but also for electrical conduction, thereby improving the utilization rate of the copper block and reducing the PCB design area to meet the development needs of high-density and miniaturized electronic equipment.

[0021] Example Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a multi - layer thermoelectric separation buried copper plate structure; This example provides a multi - layer thermoelectric separation buried copper plate, including an inner core board with an installation groove, a copper block is embedded in the installation groove, a through - initial through - hole is opened in the conductive area of the copper block, resin is injected into the initial through - hole, a through - conductive hole is provided on the resin, a heat - conducting hole is provided in the heat - dissipation area of the copper block, and the heat - conducting hole is filled with copper material.
[0022] The manufacturing method of the above - mentioned multi - layer thermoelectric separation buried copper plate includes the following steps: Preparing the inner core board: Cut an insulating substrate with a thickness of 2 - 3 mm into a target size according to design requirements, and laminate a first copper foil with a thickness of 18 - 35 μm on the surface of the insulating substrate to obtain a copper - clad laminate. Then, set light points at the routing positions of the copper - clad laminate, and at the same time, use a laser drill to set anti - misalignment holes. Then, through deburring, degreasing, electroplating, and etching, the inner core board is obtained; The insulating substrate is prepared from epoxy glass fiber cloth substrate FR - 4 or composite epoxy resin glass fiber cloth substrate CEM - 3; The setting of the laser - drilled anti - misalignment holes and light points can achieve high - precision alignment, ensuring the hole - position accuracy of the copper - block embedding position, conductive holes, and heat - conducting holes, and avoiding the failure of the thermoelectric channel caused by offset; Grooving and embedding the copper block: According to the size of the copper block, use a CNC milling machine or laser cutting to groove at a specified position on the inner core board. The groove depth is slightly greater than the thickness of the copper block. In this example, the groove depth is 1.3 - 1.5 mm, the copper - block thickness is 0.8 - 1.1 mm, the epoxy adhesive coating thickness is 10 - 15 μm. After the copper block is embedded in the groove, laminate the first semi - cured sheet, align the edges with the light points, and perform a one - time lamination. The pressure during lamination is 7 - 9 tons / m 2 , the temperature is 130 - 170 °C, and the duration is 30 - 60 min to form a sub - outer core board; The epoxy adhesive can be any one of two - component epoxy glue, polyurethane glue, and acrylic glue. The epoxy adhesive can firmly bond the copper block in the groove; By grooving at a specified position on the inner core board and embedding the copper block, using the high thermal conductivity of copper, the heat generated when the electronic component works can be quickly conducted to the copper block, and then the heat is diffused to the entire board through the copper block, thereby achieving efficient heat conduction and reducing the temperature of the electronic component; Rough - drilling through - holes: Use a CNC drill to drill initial through - holes on the copper block and pre - enlarge the hole diameter. The initial through - hole diameter is 0.2 - 0.3 mm, the pre - enlarged hole diameter is 0.3 - 0.7 mm, and the initial through - hole penetrates the copper block; Filling resin: Use a pressure pump to inject resin into the initially enlarged through-holes, and heat and cure at a heating rate of 2 - 4 °C / min to 150 - 160 °C for 40 - 60 min. Either polypropylene resin or epoxy resin can be selected as the resin. After filling the resin, an insulating support is formed to prevent the copper block from directly conducting electricity, providing conditions for the functional separation of subsequent conductive holes and heat-conducting holes. At the same time, the heat conduction path becomes more clear and efficient, preventing the disordered diffusion of heat through the conductive path and further improving the heat conduction efficiency. Manufacturing the sub-outer layer pattern: Coat a dry film on the surface of the sub-outer layer core board. After exposure and development, etch the first copper foil to form the sub-outer layer conductive circuit. The distance between the sub-outer layer conductive circuit and the edge of the copper block is ≥ 0.5 mm to avoid the erosion of the copper block edge by the etching solution, ensuring the integrity and stability of the sub-outer layer conductive circuit, providing a reliable path for signal transmission, and preventing short circuits. Preparing the outer layer core board: Bond a second semi-cured sheet and a second copper foil with a thickness of 18 - 35 μm on the surface of the sub-outer layer core board, aligning the edges with the light marks, and performing secondary lamination. The pressure during lamination is 7 - 9 tons / m 2 , the temperature is 130 - 170 °C, and the duration is 30 - 60 min to obtain the outer layer core board. The two-step lamination process is adopted to ensure the tight bonding between the copper block, the insulating substrate, and the semi-cured sheet, reducing the interlayer voids and contact resistance, and at the same time reducing the thermal interface thermal resistance. Drilling conductive holes and heat dissipation holes: Use a laser drill or a depth-controlled drill to drill blind holes with a diameter of 0.5 - 1 mm on one side of the outer layer core board, and control the depth to penetrate to the surface of the copper block to form heat dissipation holes. At the same time, use a numerical control drill to drill conductive holes with a diameter of 0.1 - 0.2 mm in the resin filling area, and fill the heat dissipation holes with copper material. The resin filling layer forms a thermal insulation barrier to avoid lateral heat crosstalk and block the direct conduction between the copper block and the conductive holes. Filling the heat dissipation holes with copper material realizes a dot matrix heat dissipation structure, providing a direct and efficient conduction channel for heat, enabling heat to be transferred from the heating element to the copper block more quickly, and then diffusing out through the copper block, effectively reducing the thermal resistance, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and enhancing heat conduction. Electroplating copper on the inner wall of the conductive holes realizes electrical connection, and then browning or gold plating the surface of the outer layer core board to obtain the finished product. The distribution density of the conductive holes and the heat dissipation holes can be independently designed, and the wiring is more flexible.
