[0093] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0094] Example 1
[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a flexible circuit board provided by an embodiment of the present invention;
[0096] An embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board comprising:
[0097] A dielectric layer 120;
[0098] The dielectric layer is usually a flexible substrate with an inherent dielectric constant, used as an insulating layer between conductive lines of different layers;
[0099] The conductive circuit 110 is disposed on the dielectric layer 120 and has a first terminal 105 thereon. The first terminal 105 is used to be welded with the first pad 223 of the conductive wiring 220 to form a welding area 300;
[0100] The conductive circuit 110 is disposed on the dielectric layer 120;
[0101] A portion of the conductive circuit 110 forms a first terminal 105, and in particular, the first terminal 105 is located at an end of the conductive circuit 110;
[0102] The conductive circuit 110 is a plurality of first conductive lines, and the first conductive lines are laid in parallel on the dielectric layer 120;
[0103] Furthermore, the conductive circuit, except for the area where electrical connection such as welding or wire bonding is required (such as the first terminal), is covered with a green oil layer to achieve solder resistance and prevent the conductive circuit from being oxidized.
[0104] The conductive wiring 220 is electrically connected to the optical semiconductor element, wherein a portion of the conductive wiring 220 forms a first soldering pad 223 , wherein the first soldering pad 223 may be soldered on the conductive wiring.
[0105] The first pad 223 and the first terminal 105 are soldered together to form the soldering area 300. The soldering area 300 includes the first pad 223, the first terminal 105 and the solder. Fig. 9 Shown in the dashed box.
[0106] The conductive circuit 110 has an outer buffer zone 106 , the outer buffer zone 106 is adjacent to the boundary of the welding area 300 , and the outer buffer zone 106 extends outside the welding area 300 ;
[0107] The line width of the outer buffer region 106 gradually increases toward the boundary of the welding region 300 .
[0108] The outer buffer zone 106 is a portion of the conductive circuit 110 , which is adjacent to the boundary of the welding area 300 , and the outer buffer zone 106 extends outside the welding area 300 .
[0109] The line width of the outer buffer zone 106 gradually increases toward the boundary of the welding area 300 ; the projection shape of the outer buffer zone 106 may be a semicircle or a trapezoid, etc., and the wider side thereof is arranged on the boundary of the welding area 300 .
[0110] Among them, in optical semiconductor devices, return loss refers to the standing wave ratio return loss parameter. The smaller the value, the lower the electrical signal reflectivity of the optical semiconductor device, the stronger the signal integrity, and the better the product performance.
[0111] In the flexible circuit board of the embodiment of the present application, the line width of the outer buffer zone 106 on the flexible circuit board gradually increases toward the boundary of the welding area 300, thereby effectively alleviating the drastic impedance mutation at the boundary of the welding area 300, ensuring the impedance stability and continuity, which is conducive to reducing the return loss, reducing the signal reflectivity, ensuring the integrity of the high-frequency signal, so that the signal can maintain a high transmission rate, and thus effectively solving the technical problem in the prior art that in the welding welding area 300 formed by welding the terminal on the flexible circuit board to the pad of the connecting component 200, due to the superposition of the welding terminal, the pad and the welding material formed in the welding area 300, there is an impedance mutation at the boundary of the welding area 300, resulting in a significant increase in return loss and deterioration of the integrity of the transmission signal.
[0112] Especially during 5G high-frequency transmission, signals are more sensitive to impedance mutations. Impedance mutations at the boundaries cause a significant increase in signal return loss and reflectivity, ultimately leading to a significant reduction in signal integrity.
[0113] The flexible circuit board in this embodiment can effectively solve the technical problem that during 5G high-frequency transmission, the signal is more sensitive to impedance mutation, the impedance mutation at the boundary causes a significant increase in signal return loss and an increase in reflectivity, which ultimately leads to a significant reduction in signal integrity.
[0114] For example, the impedance of the conductive line 110 of a general flexible circuit board is 55Ω before entering the welding area 300, and then the impedance suddenly changes to 45Ω after entering the welding area 300; in the flexible circuit board of this embodiment, since the conductive line 110 has an outer buffer area 106 with a gradually increasing line width before entering the welding area 300, the impedance gradually decreases in the buffer area, thereby suppressing the severity of the impedance sudden change;
[0115] The factors that affect the characteristic impedance of the line mainly include line width, line spacing, line thickness, dielectric constant and thickness of the upper and lower layers of the line medium. The wider the line width, the smaller the impedance; the smaller the line spacing (i.e., the larger the line width), the smaller the impedance; the thicker the line thickness, the smaller the impedance; the larger the dielectric constant of the medium, the smaller the impedance; the smaller the dielectric thickness, the smaller the impedance; when the line spacing, line thickness, dielectric constant and thickness of the upper and lower layers of the line medium are fixed, the external buffer area 106 can gradually reduce the impedance in the buffer area, thereby suppressing the severity of impedance mutation.
[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive circuit 110 further has an inner buffer zone 107 , the inner buffer zone 107 is adjacent to the outer buffer zone 106 , and the inner buffer zone 107 extends into the welding area 300 ;
[0117] The line width of the inner buffer area 107 gradually increases toward the outer buffer area 106 .
[0118] The inner and outer buffers are combined as follows Fig. 9 As shown in the solid line box;
[0119] The inner buffer zone 107 is a part of the conductive circuit 110;
[0120] The projection shape of the inner buffer area 107 may be a semicircle or a trapezoid, etc., and the wider side thereof is disposed on the boundary of the welding area 300 or exceeds the boundary of the welding area 300 .
[0121] The inner buffer zone 107 and the outer buffer zone 106 are interconnected and integrated, and are both part of the conductive circuit 110. They can be divided according to the boundary of the welding area 300. The part located inside the welding area 300 or inside the first terminal 105 is the inner buffer zone 107, and the part located outside the welding area 300 or outside the first terminal 105 is the outer buffer zone 106. Of course, in other embodiments, when there is only a separate inner buffer zone 107 or an outer buffer zone 106, the two can be divided according to actual conditions.
[0122] The impedance value of the signal line 101 outside the welding area 300 is R1, and the impedance value of the welding area 300 is R2, wherein the absolute value of the difference between R1 and R2 is ΔR≤8Ω.
[0123] The impedance value R2 of the welding area 300 includes the impedance value of the entire welding area, that is, includes the impedance value after the signal terminal-solder-signal pad are connected.
[0124] When the value of ΔR is relatively large, the internal buffer zone 107 causes the impedance change rate near the boundary of the welding area 300 to increase from small to large and then decrease, thereby avoiding the problem of increasing impedance change rate, drastic impedance change and deterioration of return loss performance caused by a large ΔR.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, the absolute value of the slope of the tangent line at any point on the contour line of the outer buffer zone 106 is ≤0.5.
[0126] If the absolute value of the slope of the tangent at any point on the contour line of the outer buffer zone 106 exceeds 0.5, the morphology of the conductive line 110 of the outer buffer zone 106 is not easy to process, and an excessively large slope can easily cause the outer buffer zone 106 to fail, resulting in impedance discontinuity.
[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, the slope of the tangent line on the contour line of the outer buffer zone 106 changes continuously.
[0128] The continuous change in the slope of the tangent line on the contour line of the outer buffer zone 106 allows the impedance to change smoothly, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the return loss performance deteriorates due to a sudden change in impedance.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the absolute value of the slope of the tangent line at any point on the contour line of the inner buffer zone 107 is ≤0.5;
[0130] Similarly, when the absolute value of the slope of the tangent at any point on the contour line of the inner buffer zone 107 exceeds 0.5, the morphology of the conductive circuit 110 of the inner buffer zone 107 is not easy to process, and an excessively large slope can easily cause the inner buffer zone 107 to fail, resulting in impedance discontinuity.
[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, the slope of the tangent line on the contour line of the inner buffer zone 107 changes continuously.
[0132] Similarly, the continuous change in the slope of the tangent line on the contour line of the inner buffer zone 107 allows the impedance to change smoothly, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the return loss performance is deteriorated due to a sudden change in impedance.
[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive circuit 110 includes:
[0134] Signal line 101;
[0135] The signal lines 101 include a plurality of lines, which are respectively arranged on the dielectric layer 120;
[0136] The first terminal 105 comprises:
[0137] A signal terminal 104, the signal terminal 104 is located on the signal line 101, and the signal terminal 104 is used to be welded with the signal pad of the pad to form the welding area 300;
[0138] As can be seen from the above, the signal terminal 104 is a part of the signal circuit 101;
[0139] The outer buffer 106 and the inner buffer 107 are both located on the signal line 101 .
[0140] As can be seen from the above, the signal terminal is a part of the signal line 101, and in particular, the inner ring buffer is a part of the signal terminal 104;
[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, the maximum width of the outer buffer zone 106 is equal to the line width of the signal line 101 in the welding area 300 .
[0142] In some embodiments of the present application, the maximum width of the inner buffer area 107 is greater than the line width of the signal line 101 in the welding area 300 .
[0143] Example 2
[0144] An embodiment of the present application further provides a packaging connection structure, the connection structure comprising:
[0145] A flexible circuit board as described above;
[0146] The connecting component 200 includes:
[0147] Insulating member 210; the material of the insulating member 210 is selected from any one or more dielectric materials of aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, and mullite;
[0148] The conductive wiring 220 is disposed on the insulating member 210 and has a first pad 223 thereon. The first pad 223 is welded to the first terminal 105 to form the welding area 300 .
[0149] The conductive wiring 220 is a plurality of groups of second conductive wires, and the second conductive wires are installed and arranged on the insulating member 210;
[0150] The first pad 223 is a portion of the conductive wiring 220, and in particular, a portion of the end portion of the conductive wiring 220;
[0151] As described in Embodiment 1, the first pad 223 and the first terminal 105 are welded together by solder to form the welding area 300;
[0152] In the packaging connection architecture of the embodiment of the present application, the line width of the outer buffer zone 106 on the packaging connection structure gradually increases toward the boundary of the welding area 300, thereby effectively alleviating the drastic impedance mutation at the boundary of the welding area 300, ensuring the impedance stability and continuity, which is conducive to reducing the return loss, reducing the signal reflectivity, ensuring the integrity of the high-frequency signal, and allowing the signal to maintain a high transmission rate, thereby effectively solving the technical problem in the prior art that in the welding welding area 300 formed by welding the terminal on the flexible circuit board to the pad of the connecting component 200, due to the superposition of the welding terminal, the pad and the welding material formed in the welding area 300, there is an impedance mutation at the boundary of the welding area 300, resulting in a significant increase in return loss and deterioration of the integrity of the transmission signal.
[0153] In some embodiments of the present application, the impedance value outside the welding area 300 is R1, and the impedance value of the welding area 300 is R2, wherein the absolute value of the difference between R1 and R2 is ΔR ≤ 8Ω.
[0154] If ΔR is greater than 8Ω, the impedance changes more drastically under the outer buffer 106 of the same structure, and the return loss performance deteriorates. Therefore, the ΔR≤8Ω can effectively solve the problem that when ΔR is greater than 8Ω, the impedance changes more drastically under the outer buffer 106, and the return loss performance deteriorates.
[0155] In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive wiring 220 has a transition area 222, and the transition area 222 is adjacent to the boundary of the welding area 300 and is located outside the welding area 300.
[0156] The line width of the transition zone 222 gradually decreases in a direction away from the welding area 300 .
[0157] Since the first pad 223 is used to solder the first terminal 105 of the flexible circuit board, in order to ensure the welding strength, the width of the first pad 223 is greater than the width of the conductive wiring 220 outside the welding area 300. As a result, the width of the conductive wiring 220 is different inside the welding area 300 and outside the welding area 300. The position where the line width changes is likely to cause a sudden impedance change, resulting in poor return loss performance. The transition zone 222 can effectively reduce the severity of the impedance transformation and suppress the deterioration of the return loss performance.
[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive circuit 110 includes:
[0159] Signal line 101;
[0160] The first terminal 105 comprises:
[0161] A signal terminal 104, wherein the signal terminal 104 is located on the signal line 101;
[0162] The signal terminal 104 is a part of the signal line 101;
[0163] Wherein, the external buffer 106 is located on the signal line 101;

[0221] The optical semiconductor device was tested as follows:
[0222] 1) Performance indicators:
[0223] The value range that meets the requirements is return loss RL≤-15dB@0~40GHz;
[0224] The return loss RL that does not meet the required value range is greater than -15dB@0~40GHz;
[0225] 2) Test method:
[0226] (1) Return loss test method and process:
[0227] The test was performed using a network analyzer, specifically: one end of the adapter board (replacing the optical semiconductor element in actual application) was connected to the (internal) conductive wiring 220 of the package base through a gold wire, and the other end was connected to the network analyzer through a probe station; the non-welding area 300 end of the flexible circuit board was connected to the network analyzer through a probe station; and the product return loss performance was tested using the network analyzer.
[0228] (2) Impedance curve test method and process:
[0229] The test is carried out using a network analyzer, using the return loss test method. The difference lies in the different functional modules of the network analyzer selected.
[0230] 3) The corresponding performance data of the test examples and the comparative examples are compared in the following table:
[0231]
[0232]
[0233] In Experimental Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, on the flexible circuit board, the width of the signal line 101 in the non-welding area 300 is 105um; the width of the signal line 101 (i.e., the signal terminal 104) in the welding area 300 is 210um; and the maximum width of the outer buffer area 106 is equal to the width of the line of the signal terminal 104 (210um).
[0234] In Experimental Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 2-3, on the flexible circuit board, the width of the signal line 101 in the non-welding area 300 is 105um; the width of the signal line 101 (i.e., the signal terminal 104) in the welding area 300 is 210um; and the maximum width of the outer buffer 106 and the inner buffer 107 is 240um.
[0235] In the test examples and comparative examples, ΔR=8, which is a relatively large case.
[0236] It can be seen from the test examples and comparative examples in the above table that:
[0237] 1. According to Experimental Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, it is proved that the flatter the contour of the outer buffer 106 is, the less drastic the impedance change is and the smaller the return loss is; otherwise, the return loss is large.
[0238] 2. According to Experimental Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 2, it is proved that the flatter the contour of the inner buffer 107 is, the less drastic the impedance change is and the smaller the return loss is; otherwise, the return loss is large.
[0239] 3. Comparison between Experimental Example 2 and Experimental Example 4 shows that when ΔR is large, the impedance variation of the solution with both the external buffer 106 and the internal buffer 107 is less drastic and the return loss is smaller than that of the solution with the external buffer 106 alone.
[0240] 4. The comparison between comparative examples 1 and 3 shows that the existence of the internal buffer 107 can suppress the aggravation of impedance change, thereby reducing return loss.
[0241] 4) Impedance curves under different buffer structures:
[0242] (1) Figure 12-14 In the three structural cases shown:
[0243] Fig.12 A vertical structure, i.e., without the inner buffer zone 107 and the outer buffer zone 106, wherein the dimensions and parameters are in accordance with Experimental Example 2;
[0244] Fig.13 The structure B has an outer buffer zone 106 but no inner buffer zone 107, wherein the dimensions and parameters are in accordance with Experimental Example 2;
[0245] Fig.14 C is a structure having both an outer buffer 106 and an inner buffer 107, wherein the dimensions and parameters are in accordance with Experimental Example 5;
[0246] (2) Impedance curves under the above three structural conditions:
[0247] Among them, the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is impedance;
[0248] Fig.15 2 is an impedance curve diagram. During the signal transmission process, the impedance changes of the impedance curves B and C of the signal line 101 structure with the external buffer 106 are more gradual; while the impedance change of the impedance curve A of the signal line 101 structure without the external buffer 106 is more drastic.
[0249] Compared with the case where there is only the outer buffer 106 , the signal line 101 structure having the inner buffer 107 and the outer buffer 106 has a smoother impedance change.
