Abstract

[0003] In related technologies, high-layer, high-density PCBs are prone to differences in residual copper content between patterned and non-patterned areas. This results in varying amounts of adhesive flow in different areas during lamination, ultimately leading to a large difference in PCB thickness after lamination (range > 0.2 mm). When patterning the outer layers, thinner areas cannot adhere tightly to the dry film, causing it to float. This can lead to dry film detachment and contamination of the developing tank during development, affecting subsequent electroplating and etching operations. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a method for copper plating on a PCB. The method includes the following steps:
[0041] S110, Obtain the first residual copper rate of the graphic area;
[0042] S120. Compare the first residual copper rate with a preset range, and perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern area according to the comparison result and the corresponding preset copper pouring pattern, so that the first residual copper rate is equal to the second residual copper rate of the non-pattern area.
[0043] Specifically, a PCB includes patterned areas and non-patterned areas. Patterned areas refer to the areas containing circuits, pads, etc., while non-patterned areas refer to the areas on the PCB surface other than the patterned areas. Therefore, patterned areas are mostly located within the PCB board, while non-patterned areas are mostly located at the board edges. A preset range and multiple preset copper plating patterns are set, with the area of the preset copper plating patterns being equal to that of the non-patterned areas. Each preset copper plating pattern is formed by multiple sub-patterns, and the area ratio of the multiple sub-patterns in the preset copper plating pattern is equal to the first residual copper ratio. PCBs with different first residual copper ratios are distinguished according to this preset range. One preset copper plating pattern corresponds to a distinguishing interval. Copper plating is then performed on the PCBs located within the corresponding distinguishing interval according to the preset copper plating pattern, that is, the non-patterned areas are plating with the same pattern as the preset copper plating pattern, so that the second residual copper ratio of the non-patterned areas is equal to the first residual copper ratio of the patterned areas. This ensures the uniformity of the overall PCB thickness and avoids phenomena such as dry film peeling.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the preset copper-clad pattern includes at least a first copper-clad pattern, a second copper-clad pattern, and a third copper-clad pattern. Step S120, "performing copper-clad operations on non-pattern areas based on the comparison result and the corresponding preset copper-clad pattern," includes the following sub-steps:
[0045] S210. Determine that the first residual copper rate is less than the preset range, and perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern area according to the first copper pouring pattern.
[0046] S220. Determine that the first residual copper rate is within the preset range, and perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern area according to the second copper pouring pattern.
[0047] S230. Determine that the first residual copper rate is greater than the preset range, and perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern area according to the third copper pouring pattern.
[0048] Specifically, a preset range is set based on the first and second parameters. This preset range divides PCBs with different first residual copper ratios into three distinct intervals. For example: for PCBs with a first residual copper ratio less than the first parameter, copper pouring is performed on the non-patterned areas of the PCB according to the first copper pouring pattern; for PCBs with a first residual copper ratio greater than the first parameter and less than the second parameter, copper pouring is performed on the non-patterned areas of the PCB according to the second copper pouring pattern; for PCBs with a first residual copper ratio greater than the second parameter, copper pouring is performed on the non-patterned areas of the PCB according to the third copper pouring pattern. That is, based on the different first residual copper ratios of the PCB patterned areas, copper of different patterns is poured on the non-patterned areas so that the second residual copper ratio of the non-patterned areas is equal to the first residual copper ratio of the patterned areas. It is understood that the first residual copper ratio can be calculated based on graphic design files, Genesis software, etc., and this embodiment of the application does not specifically limit this.
[0049] The first, second, and third copper-clad patterns are all formed by arranging multiple sub-patterns. When the first residual copper ratio is less than the first parameter, it indicates that the copper-clad area of the PCB pattern region is low; when the first residual copper ratio is greater than the first parameter and less than the second parameter, it indicates that the copper-clad area of the PCB pattern region is medium. Therefore, a pattern that can lay more copper per unit area can be selected as a sub-pattern of the second copper-clad pattern, and conversely, a pattern that can lay less copper per unit area can be selected as a sub-pattern of the first copper-clad pattern.
[0050] Secondly, when the first residual copper ratio is greater than the second parameter, it indicates that the copper coverage area of the PCB pattern area is relatively high. Therefore, the sub-patterns of the third copper-clad pattern have a better resisting effect than the sub-patterns of the second copper-clad pattern. This ensures that the first residual copper ratio is equal to the second residual copper ratio, while making the amount of adhesive flow in the non-pattern area and the pattern area the same, thereby improving the uniformity of the PCB thickness.
[0051] The following explanation uses the following examples: the first copper-clad pattern's sub-graphic (i.e., the first graphic) is circular; the second copper-clad pattern's sub-graphic (i.e., the second graphic) is rectangular; and the third copper-clad pattern's sub-graphic (i.e., the third graphic) is stepped. However, it should be understood that the following explanation is merely illustrative and does not impose any specific limitations on the first, second, or third graphic.
[0052] Reference Figures 3 to 4B In some embodiments, the first pattern is circular, and the first copper-clad pattern includes multiple first patterns.
[0053] Before step S120, the PCB copper pouring method further includes the step of: obtaining the initial length and initial width of the non-graphic area;
[0054] Step S210, "Perform copper pouring operation on non-pattern areas according to the first copper pouring pattern," includes the following sub-steps:
[0055] S310. Adjust the first diameter of the first pattern and the first spacing between two adjacent first patterns according to the first residual copper ratio, the initial length and the initial width.
[0056] S320. Perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern areas according to the adjusted first copper pouring pattern.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4BAs shown, multiple first graphics 101 are arranged according to a certain pattern to form a first copper-clad graphic 100. The length of the first copper-clad graphic 100 is equal to the initial length of the non-graphic area, and the width of the first copper-clad graphic 100 is equal to the initial width of the non-graphic area. Therefore, the first diameter Z1 of the multiple first graphics 101 in the first copper-clad graphic 100, the first sub-spacing X1 between two adjacent first graphics 101 in the same row, and the second sub-spacing X2 between adjacent rows and two adjacent first graphics 101 are adjusted according to the following formula (1). It can be understood that the first spacing includes the first sub-spacing X1 and the second sub-spacing X2.
[0058]
[0059] Where L represents the initial length and H represents the initial width. This indicates the number of the first graphic 101 within a unit area along the initial length direction. This indicates the number of first patterns 101 per unit area in the initial width direction. Through the above adjustments, the area ratio of the first patterns 101 in the first copper-clad pattern 100 is equal to the first residual copper ratio. Therefore, when copper-cladding operations are performed on non-pattern areas according to the first copper-clad pattern 100, that is, when the copper-clad surface of the non-pattern areas is laid as if it were the first copper-clad pattern 100, the second residual copper ratio of the non-pattern areas is equal to the first residual copper ratio of the pattern areas, thus ensuring the uniformity of the PCB thickness in each area. It is understandable that, to ensure the copper-cladding effect in non-pattern areas, the first sub-pitch X1, the second sub-pitch X2, and the first diameter Z1 can all be set to be greater than 3 mil.
[0060] Reference Figures 5 to 6B In some embodiments, the second graphic 201 is rectangular, and the second copper-clad graphic 200 includes a plurality of second graphics 201.
[0061] Step S220, "Perform copper pouring operation on non-pattern areas according to the second copper pouring pattern," includes the following sub-steps:
[0062] S510. Adjust the side length of the second graphic and the second spacing between two adjacent second graphics according to the first residual copper ratio, initial length and initial width.
[0063] S520. Perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern area according to the adjusted second copper pouring pattern.
[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6A and Figure 6BAs shown, taking a square as an example, multiple second shapes 201 are arranged according to a certain pattern to form a second copper-clad shape 200. The length of the second copper-clad shape 200 is equal to the initial length of the non-shape area, and the width of the second copper-clad shape 200 is equal to the initial width of the non-shape area. Therefore, the side length Y1 of the multiple second shapes 201 in the second copper-clad shape 200 and the second spacing X3 between two adjacent second shapes 201 are adjusted according to the following formula (2).
[0065]
[0066] Where L represents the initial length and H represents the initial width. This indicates the number of second figures 201 within a unit area along the initial length direction. This indicates the number of second patterns 201 per unit area in the initial width direction. Through the above adjustments, the area ratio of the second patterns 201 in the second copper-clad pattern 200 is equal to the first residual copper ratio. Therefore, when copper-cladding operations are performed on non-pattern areas according to the second copper-clad pattern 200, that is, when the copper-clad surface of the non-pattern areas is laid as shown in the second copper-clad pattern 200, the second residual copper ratio of the non-pattern areas is equal to the first residual copper ratio of the pattern areas, thus ensuring the uniformity of the PCB thickness in each area. It is understandable that, to ensure the copper-cladding effect in non-pattern areas, the side length Y1 and the second spacing X3 can both be set to be greater than 3 mil.
[0067] Reference Figures 7A to 8 In some embodiments, the third pattern 300 includes a first sub-rectangle 301, a second sub-rectangle 302, and a third sub-rectangle 303. The first sub-rectangle 301 and the third sub-rectangle 303 are respectively perpendicularly disposed on both sides of the second sub-rectangle 302, and the extending direction of the first sub-rectangle 301 is opposite to the extending direction of the third sub-rectangle 303. The intermediate pattern 400 includes a plurality of third patterns 300 connected in sequence, and the third copper-clad pattern 500 includes a plurality of stacked intermediate patterns 400.
[0068] Specifically, one end of the first sub-rectangle 301 is perpendicular to one end of the second sub-rectangle 302, and one end of the third sub-rectangle 303 is perpendicular to the other end of the second sub-rectangle 302. The wider side of the first sub-rectangle 301 closest to the longer side of the second sub-rectangle 302 is on the same horizontal plane, and the wider side of the third sub-rectangle 303 closest to the longer side of the second sub-rectangle 302 is on the same horizontal plane. The extension direction of the first sub-rectangle 301 refers to the direction in which its other end moves away from the second sub-rectangle 302, and the extension direction of the third sub-rectangle 303 refers to the direction in which its other end moves away from the second sub-rectangle 302. Therefore, the first sub-rectangle 301, the second sub-rectangle 302, and the third sub-rectangle 303 are connected sequentially to form a stepped shape. Multiple third shapes 300 are connected sequentially to form an intermediate shape 400. Multiple intermediate shapes 400 are stacked to form a third copper-clad shape 500. It is understandable that the first sub-rectangle 301, the second sub-rectangle 302, and the third sub-rectangle 303 are all the same size.
[0069] Reference Figure 9 Step S230, "perform copper pouring operation on non-pattern areas according to the third copper pouring pattern," includes the following sub-steps:
[0070] S910. Adjust the sub-length of the third sub-rectangle, the sub-width of the third sub-rectangle, and the third spacing between two adjacent third sub-rectangles according to the first residual copper ratio, the initial length, and the initial width.
[0071] S920. Perform copper pouring operation on the non-pattern areas according to the adjusted third copper pouring pattern.
[0072] Specifically, such as Figures 7A to 8 As shown, multiple intermediate graphics 400 are stacked to form a third copper-clad graphic 500. The length of the third copper-clad graphic 500 is equal to the initial length of the non-graphic area, and the width of the third copper-clad graphic 500 is equal to the initial width of the non-graphic area. Therefore, the sub-length Y2 of multiple third sub-rectangles 303 in the third copper-clad graphic 500, the sub-width Y3 of multiple third sub-rectangles 303, and the third spacing X4 between two adjacent third sub-rectangles 303 are adjusted according to the following formula (3). It can be understood that the sub-length and sub-width of the first sub-rectangle 301, and the sub-length and sub-width of the second sub-rectangle 302 are adaptively adjusted with reference to the third sub-rectangle 303.
[0073]
[0074] Where L represents the initial length and H represents the initial width. This indicates the number of intermediate figures (400) within a unit area along the initial length direction. This indicates the number of intermediate patterns 400 per unit area in the initial width direction. Through the above adjustments, the area ratio of the intermediate patterns 400 in the third copper-clad pattern 500 is equal to the first residual copper ratio. Therefore, when copper-cladding is performed on non-pattern areas according to the third copper-clad pattern 500, i.e., when the copper-clad surface of the non-pattern areas is laid as shown in the third copper-clad pattern 500, the second residual copper ratio of the non-pattern areas is equal to the first residual copper ratio of the pattern areas, thus ensuring the uniformity of the PCB thickness across different areas. It is understandable that, to ensure the copper-cladding effect in non-pattern areas, the sub-length Y2 of the third sub-rectangle 303, the sub-width Y3 of the third sub-rectangle 303, and the third spacing X4 between two adjacent third sub-rectangles 303 can all be set to be greater than 3 mil.
[0075] Reference Figures 1 to 9 In one specific embodiment, the preset range can be set to 45% to 75%. Therefore, when the second residual copper rate is <45%, copper pouring operation is performed on the non-patterned areas according to the first copper pouring pattern 100; when 45% ≤ the second residual copper rate ≤ 75%, copper pouring operation is performed on the non-patterned areas according to the second copper pouring pattern 200; when the second residual copper rate is >75%, copper pouring operation is performed on the non-patterned areas according to the third copper pouring pattern 500, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the board thickness in each area of the PCB and avoiding the impact on subsequent operations.
[0076] Reference Figure 10 This application also provides a PCB copper plating system. The PCB copper plating system includes a data acquisition module 610 and a copper plating module 620. The data acquisition module 610 is used to acquire a first residual copper ratio of a patterned area. The copper plating module 620 is used to compare the first residual copper ratio with a preset range, and perform copper plating operations on non-patterned areas according to the comparison result and the corresponding preset copper plating pattern, so that the first residual copper ratio is equal to a second residual copper ratio of the non-patterned area.
