Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of circuit boards, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a rigid-flexible board with an insert hole and the rigid-flexible board with an insert hole. Background Art

[0002] At present, a rigid-flexible board with multiple layers of flexible boards (or flexible boards), that is, a rigid-flexible board with multiple circuit layers (i.e., copper layers) on the flexible board layer is called a rigid-flexible board with multiple flexible board layers; wherein, the flexible board layer can also be subdivided into a copper layer and a dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer is generally a polyimide material layer.

[0003] In the prior art, in the process steps of manufacturing a rigid-flexible board with multiple flexible board layers, the dielectric layer finally located in the multiple flexible board layers, in addition to the polyimide material layer, also includes a pure adhesive layer (i.e., an epoxy resin layer without glass fiber) to ensure the flexural performance of the flexible board. The dielectric layer material of the flexible board layer is the material layer covering the entire board surface, that is, the corresponding rigid board area is also covered with the same pure adhesive layer material.

[0004] According to the conventional setup described above, the dielectric layer in the rigid board area of ​​a rigid-flex board with multiple flexible layers includes the epoxy-glass resin dielectric layer of the copper-clad laminate, the pure adhesive layer dielectric layer (an epoxy resin layer without glass fiber), and the polyimide dielectric layer. Therefore, the dielectric layers in the rigid board area exhibit diversity. For rigid-flex boards with multiple flexible layers that require plug-in holes in the rigid board area, due to the diversity of the inherent dielectric layer materials, during the processing from drilling to electroplating, when the drilled holes need to be desmeared after drilling, different materials have different tolerances to the desmearing process. This may result in sufficient desmearing of the pure adhesive layer but insufficient desmearing of the polyimide layer, or sufficient desmearing of the polyimide layer but insufficient desmearing of the pure adhesive layer. This can easily lead to copper nodules in the electroplating process, seriously affecting the electroplating quality.

[0005] At present, the desmearing process is generally changed from chemical desmearing to plasma desmearing. However, the improvement effect of plasma desmearing is not obvious, but it increases the processing cost.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above problems, it is necessary to provide a rigid-flex board with plug-in holes and a manufacturing method thereof to improve the problem of copper nodules in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, the shape of the laser ablation area is a triangle, a trapezoid or a rectangle.

[0020] Furthermore, one end of the pattern of the laser ablation area is located at the edge of the second circle, and the other end extends to the edge of the first circle.

[0021] Furthermore, the step of placing a polyimide layer with a pure adhesive layer in the window area of ​​the second prepreg layer includes:

[0022] A polyimide layer with a pure adhesive layer is placed in the window area of ​​the second prepreg layer; wherein the polyimide layer is adjacent to the outer rigid board, and the pure adhesive layer is adjacent to the inner flexible board.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process flow of a method for manufacturing a rigid-flex board with plug-in holes according to the present invention; Figure 2 The figure is a structural schematic diagram of a rigid-flex board with plug-in holes according to the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the rigid-flex board 100 with plug-in holes in this embodiment is composed of Figure 1The rigid-flex board 100 with an insert hole comprises, from the inside to the outside, a plurality of inner flexible boards 120 and a first prepreg layer 131 located between the inner flexible boards 120, two outer rigid boards 110 and a second prepreg layer 132 located between the outer rigid boards 110 and the inner flexible boards 120, a welding layer 140 located outside the two outer rigid boards 110, and an insert hole 101 that penetrates the welding layer 140, the outer rigid boards 110, and the inner flexible boards 120. The rigid-flex board 100 with an insert hole further comprises a bending region A.

[0046] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 7 The steps of the manufacturing method of a rigid-flex board with plug-in holes of the present invention specifically include:

[0047] Step S10: providing an outer rigid plate to be pressed.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, outer rigid boards 110 are provided for lamination. These are the rigid boards on the outer sides of the rigid-flex board. The outer rigid boards to be lamination are already pre-wired. For example, the upper and lower rigid boards 110 (circuitry not shown) are shown in the figure.

[0049] Specifically, the outer rigid board 110 is a double-sided board, consisting of a double-sided copper layer 111 and an epoxy resin-glass fiber dielectric layer 112 positioned between the double-sided copper layers 111. The epoxy resin-glass fiber dielectric layer 112 has a 55% adhesive content. In other embodiments, the outer rigid board 110 can also be a single-layer rigid board or a multi-layer rigid board. This is not a limitation here, and the outer double-sided board is used as an example for description.

[0050] Step S20: providing a plurality of inner-layer flexible boards to be pressed together, wherein the plurality of inner-layer flexible boards include a flexible board copper layer and a flexible board polyimide layer, the flexible board copper layer undergoes a first windowing treatment at the plug-in hole, and the flexible board polyimide layer undergoes a second windowing treatment at the plug-in hole.

[0051] In this embodiment, three inner flexible boards 120 are provided for lamination. In other embodiments, the number of inner flexible boards 120 may be two, four, or more. This is not a limitation and is described using three inner flexible boards 120 as an example. The inner flexible boards 120 to be laminarized are already pre-wired inner flexible boards.

[0052] The inner flexible board 120 includes a flexible board copper layer 121 and a flexible board polyimide layer 122. The flexible board copper layer 121 undergoes a first windowing process at the plug-in hole 101, and the flexible board polyimide layer 122 undergoes a second windowing process at the plug-in hole 101. The first windowing process is an etching process, and the second windowing process is a laser ablation process.

[0053] Specifically, the step of performing a first windowing process on the flexible copper layer at the plug-in hole includes: sequentially performing film lamination, exposure, and etching on the flexible copper layer to obtain a window pattern on the flexible copper layer at the plug-in hole. The first windowing process can be performed simultaneously with the inner layer patterning process, specifically including pre-processing micro-etching, lamination of a photosensitive layer, exposure, development, etching, and film stripping, thereby obtaining a window pattern on the flexible copper layer. The inner layer patterning process adopts existing circuit board preparation methods and will not be further described here.

[0054] The window pattern of the flexible PCB copper layer 121 is a first circle, and the diameter of the first circle is smaller than the diameter of the plug-in hole. Assuming the diameter of the plug-in hole 101 is d, the diameter of the first circle is D, and 0.4 mm ≤ dD ≤ 4.0 mm. Specifically, the first circle is located in the middle of the plug-in hole 101, so that the radius of the window pattern of the flexible PCB copper layer 121, i.e., each single side is 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm smaller than the plug-in hole, and the entire window diameter is 0.4 mm to 4.0 mm smaller than the diameter of the plug-in hole 101. Generally, the window pattern of the flexible board copper layer 121 is generally circular, matching the plug-in hole 101. The diameter of the copper layer window pattern is generally 0.2mm-2.0mm smaller than the plug-in hole on one side. Therefore, if the plug-in hole is circular, the window pattern of the flexible board copper layer can be circular. In other embodiments, if the plug-in hole is square, the window pattern of the flexible board copper layer is square. These are not listed here. The window pattern can be 0.2mm-2.0mm smaller than the plug-in hole on one side. The window pattern of the flexible board copper layer 121 is set so that the colloid of the upper and lower prepreg layers can be fully and effectively filled into the laser ablation area C of the polyimide layer of the flexible board during the lamination process. If no window is set, the flexible board copper layer blocks the flow of the colloid of the upper prepreg layer.

[0055] Furthermore, the step of performing a second window opening treatment on the flexible board polyimide layer 122 at the plug-in hole 101 includes: performing a laser ablation process on the flexible board polyimide layer 122 according to the window opening pattern to obtain the window opening pattern of the flexible board polyimide layer 122 at the plug-in hole 101; wherein, the window opening pattern of the flexible board polyimide layer 122 includes a laser ablation area C and a reserved area B, and the laser ablation area C and the reserved area B are alternately arranged to form a second circle 101A, and the diameter of the second circle 101A is greater than the diameter of the plug-in hole 101, wherein, assuming the diameter of the plug-in hole 101 is d, the diameter of the second circle 101A is H, 1.0mm≤Hd≤4.0mm.

[0056] like Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, a second circular area 101A (or transition zone) is provided on the corresponding polyimide layer 122 of the flexible board. To balance the performance differences between the polyimide layer 122 and the pure adhesive layer, a portion of the polyimide layer is removed from the polyimide layer, forming a laser-ablated area C (i.e., a blank area). During subsequent lamination, the adhesive from the prepreg layer will fill this blank area C, resulting in a partially polyimide and partially prepreg material structure in the corresponding area of ​​the polyimide layer 122 of the flexible board. The laser-ablated area A is the blank area where the polyimide is etched away. The transition zone is generally circular, matching the diameter of the plug-in hole. The circular diameter of the transition zone is generally 0.5mm to 2.0mm larger than the plug-in hole diameter on one side, ensuring that it does not damage nearby circuit patterns. The laser etching "removal" process is produced by laser ablation. After laser ablation, the carbon powder generated by ablation can be removed by cleaning. The cleaning method can be chemical cleaning or plasma cleaning. After cleaning the carbon powder, it can effectively prevent the carbon powder from causing short circuit problems in the circuit.

[0057] Specifically, the shape of the laser ablation area C on the polyimide layer of the flexible board is a triangle (see Figure 4 ), trapezoidal or rectangular (see Figure 5 One end of the laser ablation region C is located at the edge of the second circle 101A, and the other end extends to the edge of the first circle. The outer contour of the second circle 101A (or transition zone), the diameter of the plug-in hole, and the diameter of the copper layer window (i.e., the first circle) are gradually reduced.

[0058] Step S30: providing a plurality of semi-cured sheets to be pressed together, wherein the plurality of semi-cured sheets are subjected to a third windowing process in the bending area of ​​the rigid-flexible board to form a first semi-cured sheet layer located between the inner flexible boards and a second semi-cured sheet layer located between the inner flexible board and the outer rigid board, a pure adhesive layer is placed in the windowing area of ​​the first semi-cured sheet layer, and a polyimide layer with a pure adhesive layer is placed in the windowing area of ​​the second semi-cured sheet layer.

[0059] In this embodiment, the multiple prepregs 130 provided for lamination are epoxy-glass fiber dielectric layers. The adhesive content of the prepregs 130 is within 10% of the adhesive content of the epoxy-glass fiber dielectric layer 112 of the outer rigid board. If the adhesive content of the epoxy-glass fiber dielectric layer 112 is 55%, the adhesive content of the prepregs 130 is 55% ± 10%. Using prepregs instead of pure adhesive layers allows for a more consistent material and performance with the epoxy-glass fiber dielectric layer within the copper-clad laminate, facilitating consistent processing. Limiting the adhesive content of the prepregs to that of the epoxy-glass fiber dielectric layer within the copper-clad laminate further enhances material uniformity and reduces processing issues that can arise from heterogeneous material properties while maintaining consistent processing parameters. Pure adhesive is still used in the flexible board area (and the junction area where the flexible board extends into the rigid board) to ensure flexibility.

[0060] Specifically, each of the semi-cured sheets 130 is subjected to a third windowing process in the bending area A of the rigid-flexible board. The third windowing process is a milling board windowing process, in which the bending area A of the rigid-flexible board is hollowed out, and the width of the hollowed-out window is greater than the width of the actual bendable area; thereby forming a first semi-cured sheet layer 131 located between the inner flexible boards and a second semi-cured sheet layer 132 located between the inner flexible board and the outer rigid board; further, a pure glue layer 133 is placed in the windowing area of ​​the first semi-cured sheet layer 131, and a polyimide layer 135 with a pure glue layer 134 is placed in the windowing area of ​​the second semi-cured sheet layer 132; wherein, the polyimide layer 135 is adjacent to the outer rigid board 110, and the pure glue layer 134 is adjacent to the inner flexible board 120; in this embodiment, the pure glue layer 133 and the pure glue layer 134 are both epoxy resin layers without glass fiber. The adhesive layer 133 becomes a part of the first prepreg layer 131 after being pressed together, and the adhesive layer 134 and the polyimide layer 135 become a part of the second prepreg layer 132 after being pressed together.

[0061] Step S40: performing a lamination process on the outer rigid board, the plurality of inner flexible boards, and the plurality of prepreg layers to obtain a laminated rigid-flex board.

[0062] like Figure 3As shown, with the outer rigid board 110 on the outside and the inner flexible board 120 on the inside, a prepreg and a pure adhesive layer 133 located at the prepreg window are placed between two inner flexible boards 120, and a prepreg and a polyimide layer 135 with a pure adhesive layer 134 located at the prepreg window are placed between the outer rigid board and the inner flexible board 120, wherein the polyimide layer 135 is close to the outer rigid board 110, and the pure adhesive layer 134 is close to the inner flexible board 120. According to the above placement rules, the two outer rigid boards 110, the three inner flexible boards 120 and the four prepreg layers to be laminated are subjected to a lamination process to obtain a laminated rigid-flexible composite board (see Figure 6 ).

[0063] Step S50: performing post-processing on the laminated rigid-flex board in sequence to obtain a rigid-flex board with plug-in holes.

[0064] The laminated rigid-flexible board is subjected to subsequent post-processing to obtain a rigid-flexible board with plug-in holes. The post-processing includes drilling (see Figure 7 The following steps are followed by conventional circuit board manufacturing methods, including debonding, electroplating, outer layer patterning, pattern electroplating, solder mask, surface treatment, and molding, which will not be described in detail here. The molding process includes a cover removal process, ultimately forming a rigid-flex board 100 having an insert hole 101.

[0065] In this embodiment, by replacing the pure adhesive layer 133 material with a semi-cured sheet 130, the performance matching degree of the dielectric layer material in the rigid area is effectively improved, and a transition zone C is set in the polyimide layer 122 corresponding to the position of the plug-in hole 101, and a window pattern is set in the area of ​​the corresponding copper layer 121, so that the colloid of the semi-cured sheet can fully flow into the transition zone C during the pressing process, so that the transition zone C forms a bonding area between the polyimide material and the semi-cured sheet material, reducing the performance difference of the materials, facilitating subsequent drilling and desmearing processing, providing good hole wall basic conditions for electroplating, and effectively preventing the occurrence of copper nodules.

[0066] To sum up, in the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a rigid-flexible board with plug-in holes, which performs two different window opening treatments on the inner flexible board, so that the semi-cured sheet layer can flow into the corresponding window opening holes, thereby reducing the performance difference of the materials, thereby effectively solving the problem of copper nodules and improving the processing quality.
