Heat dissipating circuit board and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a heat dissipating circuit board, which includes a metal core including an insulating layer formed on the surface thereof, a circuit layer formed on the insulating layer and including a seed layer and a first circuit pattern, and a heat dissipating frame layer bonded onto the circuit layer using solder and having a second circuit pattern, and in which the heat dissipating frame layer is bonded onto the circuit layer not by a plating process but by using solder, thus reducing the cost and time of the plating process and relieving stress applied to the heat dissipating circuit board due to the plating process. A method of manufacturing the heat dissipating circuit board is also provided.

Benefits of technology

[0015]Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the problems encountered in the related art and the present invention is intended to provide a heat dissipating circuit board in which a thick heat dissipating frame layer is bonded onto a circuit layer not by a plating process but by using solder thus reducing the plating process time and cost, and also to provide a method of manufacturing the same.

[0016]Also the present invention is intended to provide a heat dissipating circuit board in which the plating process time is shortened thus relieving stress applied to the heat dissipating circuit board, and also to provide a method of manufacturing the same.

Problems solved by technology

However, this device emits a very large amount of heat.

If heat generated by the heating device does not rapidly dissipate, the temperature of the circuit board increases, undesirably causing operation of the heating device to become impossible and the heating device to operate improperly.

Because the circuit layer 13 is formed on the insulating layer 12 by a plating process, the formation of the thick circuit layer 13 undesirably results in increased plating process time and cost.

Furthermore, as the process time is prolonged, stress applied to the heat dissipating circuit board due to the plating process is undesirably enhanced.
