Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of circuit board manufacturing technology, specifically relating to reinforced composite PCB circuit boards and their manufacturing methods. Background Technology

[0002] As electronic devices rapidly evolve towards higher frequencies, higher speeds, higher integration, and greater adaptability to harsh environments, the limitations of traditional PCBs in terms of material performance and structural functionality are becoming increasingly apparent. Conventional FR-4 substrates, due to their low glass transition temperature, are prone to interlayer delamination and signal attenuation in high-temperature or high-power applications; while single-layer or double-layer structures struggle to meet the wiring density and electromagnetic shielding requirements of complex circuits. Reinforced composite PCBs, through innovative material systems and lamination processes, combine high-modulus glass fiber, ceramic-filled resin, and metal thermally conductive layers with high-temperature resistant polyimide and low-loss polytetrafluoroethylene resin, forming a multilayer heterogeneous structure that combines mechanical strength, thermal management performance, and electrical properties. This makes it a key support for miniaturization and reliability in fields such as 5G communications, automotive electronics, and aerospace.

[0003] Patent CN108617086A discloses a composite multilayer PCB circuit board and its preparation method. The preparation method includes the following sequential steps: ingredient preparation, ball milling for pulping, casting, die cutting, metallization, lamination and hot pressing, adhesive removal and sintering, and conductivity testing. Circuitry is fabricated on the composite substrate by printing or vapor deposition / sputtering. Because it is prepared under low-temperature sintering conditions, the circuitry does not require particularly high-temperature resistant materials; conventional silver and copper metals can be used under inert gas protection. By using a composite of glass, ceramics, etc., and adjusting the proportions, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the circuit board can be achieved between 5 and 7, very close to that of silicon wafers, thus enabling co-board technologies such as flip-chip bonding. During the fabrication of the aforementioned PCB circuit boards, the interfacial bonding between different raw materials significantly affects the overall performance. If the interfacial bonding is not tight, or if there are defects or stress concentrations, it will hinder charge conduction and distribution, affecting the stability of the dielectric constant. At the same time, if the pressure, temperature, and other parameters are not precisely controlled during processes such as lamination and hot pressing, the internal structure is not dense and uniform enough, and there are weak areas in the microstructure of the material, it will reduce the overall mechanical strength of the circuit board, resulting in poor mechanical properties such as bending resistance and impact resistance, making it difficult to meet the stringent performance requirements of some high-end electronic devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an enhanced composite PCB circuit board and its preparation method, which solves the technical problems of high dielectric constant and poor mechanical properties of circuit boards in the prior art.
