[0040] The rigid-flex combined board manufacturing method of the embodiment focuses on the layout and pressing process in this flow.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , Figure 1 for the process flow diagram of the manufacturing method of a high shielding flexible board of the present application; Figure 2 for the structural diagram of an embodiment of a high shielding flexible board of the present application.
[0042] As Figure 2As shown, the high-shield flexible plate 10 in this embodiment is composed of... Figure 1 The high-shield flexible board 10 is manufactured by the following method. It is processed on the basis of a flexible board. The flexible board includes a first film layer 200, a circuit copper layer 100, and a second film layer 300. The first film layer 200 and the second film layer 300 are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit copper layer 100, respectively. The basic steps of manufacturing the high-shield flexible board based on the flexible board include roughening the flexible board, screen printing a silver paste pattern layer 400 on the first film layer 200, baking and curing it, attaching a third film layer 500 on the cured silver paste pattern layer 400, and quickly pressing it together to form the high-shield flexible board 10.
[0043] Since the surface of the flexible board is relatively smooth, that is, the surfaces of the first film layer 200 and the second film layer 300 are relatively smooth, it is necessary to roughen the flexible board. Since the materials of the first film layer 200 and the second film layer 300 are generally highly inert, they are difficult to react with ordinary chemical solutions. Therefore, plasma roughening treatment is generally used here. Plasma roughening treatment can utilize the plasma environment to effectively form a roughened surface on the surface of the highly inert material, which is beneficial for the silver paste pattern layer 400 to be better fabricated on the first film layer 200.
[0044] After roughening, silver paste needs to be applied to the first film layer 200. If the silver paste is applied to the entire surface of the first film layer 200, it will affect the flexibility of the flexible board and may cause problems such as silver paste surface breakage during the bending process. In addition, the cost of applying the entire surface is high. Therefore, the silver paste needs to be made into a circuit pattern and the silver paste pattern layer 400 is made by screen printing, which can effectively control the accuracy, thickness, shape and other parameters of the silver paste pattern.
[0045] After screen printing the silver paste graphic layer 400, the silver paste graphic layer needs to be cured. Generally, silver paste refers to a paste compound system of silver powder mixed with polymer resin. Therefore, baking curing can effectively promote the thermal curing reaction of polymer resin and allow the volatile solvents in the compound system to evaporate, forming the cured silver paste graphic layer.
[0046] After the silver paste pattern layer 400 is cured, a third film layer 500 needs to be attached to its surface to protect the silver paste pattern layer 400 and provide a reliable basis for the flexible board's flexural performance.
[0047] In the embodiment, the flexible board takes the circuit copper layer 100 as a basic layer to be processed in a flow, that is, the first film layer 200 is attached to one side of the circuit copper layer 100 and fast pressing treatment is performed to form a single-sided flexible board; the circuit copper layer 100 is processed to form a required circuit pattern, the second film layer 300 is attached, and fast pressing treatment is performed to form a flexible board; the flexible board formed here is a structure of the double-sided film layer covering the circuit copper layer 100, and is not a structure of the double-sided copper layer covering the film layer of the common copper-clad plate.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a structure diagram of another embodiment of the high shielding flexible board of the present application; in the embodiment, the first film layer 200 is composed of a first adhesive layer 200a and a first cover film layer 200b, and the second film layer 300 is composed of a second adhesive layer 300a and a second cover film layer 300b; the film layer is arranged in the form of the adhesive layer and the cover film layer to effectively fill the gap of the circuit pattern with the adhesive layer and increase the adhesion of the cover film layer and the circuit layer with the adhesive layer to prevent the problems of the cavity and delamination of the circuit board.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 , in the embodiment, the third film layer 500 is formed by laminating the third adhesive layer 500a and the third cover film layer 500b; the laminating method is to print or coat the adhesive on the silver paste pattern layer 400 to form the third adhesive layer 500a, pre-bake at 75℃×35min to 45min, attach the third cover film layer 500b, and perform fast pressing treatment, and post-curing baking at 120℃×35min to 45min.
[0050] The third film layer 500 is also provided as a laminated structure of a glue layer and a cover film layer. Since the silver paste pattern layer 400 also has a circuit pattern and the silver paste circuit is on the copper layer circuit of the flexible board itself, the bonding force between the silver paste circuit and the cover film material is weaker, and the cover film needs to be covered more, so the third glue layer 500a can effectively fill the circuit gap of the silver paste pattern layer 400 and effectively improve the bonding force between the effective protection film layer and the silver paste pattern layer 400 and the first film layer 200. The third glue layer 500a is made by silk printing or coating, which can effectively control the range, thickness, coverage effect and other factors of the third glue layer 500a. After the third glue layer 500a is silk printed or coated, low temperature and short time baking is adopted, that is, 75°C×35min to 45min, so that the glue layer is semi-cured (not fully cured), which provides a basis for subsequent attachment of the third cover film layer 500b. After the third cover film layer 500b is attached, fast pressing (rapid pressing) is adopted to press and combine the third cover film layer 500b and the third glue layer 500a, so that a good laminated combination effect is formed. Generally, fast pressing adopts a temperature of 120°C to 150°C, a pressure of 50kg / cm 2 to 100kg / cm 2 , and a pressing time of 60 seconds to 70 seconds. After fast pressing, high temperature and short time baking is adopted, that is, 120°C×35min to 45min, to improve the bonding force between the glue layer and the film layer and remove the internal stress of the flexible board.
[0051] It is worth noting that the process of forming the first film layer 200 by laminating the first glue layer 200a and the first cover film layer 200b, and the process of forming the second film layer 300 by laminating the second glue layer 300a and the second cover film layer 300b, can also be formed by laminating the third glue layer 500a and the third cover film layer 500b.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first glue layer 200a, the second glue layer 300a, and the third glue layer 500a can adopt a polyolefin glue layer or an epoxy resin glue layer or an acrylic glue layer, and the viscosity is 130-170dpa.s, which is suitable for silk printing viscosity and can ensure the filling and adhesion effect between layers.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3In this embodiment, to prevent the upper cover film from exceeding the coverage area of the lower cover film and causing delamination, the length of the third film layer 500 is set to be less than that of the first film layer 200. However, since the third film layer 500 and the first film layer 200 can be selectively formed simultaneously, the width of the third film layer 500 can be less than or equal to the width of the first film layer 200. As can be seen from the characteristics and functions of the third adhesive layer 500a, the third film layer 500a plays the role of filling the silver paste pattern layer 400. Therefore, setting the thickness of the third adhesive layer 500a to be greater than that of the silver paste pattern layer 400 can achieve a good filling effect and can also prevent the third cover film layer 500b from directly bonding with the silver paste pattern layer 400, thus preventing problems such as poor bonding, delamination, and voids.
[0054] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the "S"-shaped circuit pattern of the silver paste pattern layer of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the mesh circuit pattern of the silver paste pattern layer of the present invention.
[0055] Using a silver paste pattern layer 400 as a high shielding layer is problematic because directly covering the entire surface of the first film layer 200 with silver paste can easily lead to poor adhesion of the third film layer 500, and the silver paste layer is prone to cracking during subsequent bending. Furthermore, the cost of using silver paste is relatively high. Therefore, a screen printing method is used to create a pattern of silver paste on the first film layer, which effectively provides shielding, facilitates the elastic bending of the silver paste pattern, and saves on silver paste material costs. In this embodiment, the silver paste pattern layer 400 can be designed as an "S"-shaped circuit pattern with a line width of 0.5mm to 2.5mm; or it can be designed as a mesh circuit pattern 400b with a line width of 0.3mm to 2.0mm.
[0056] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a high-shield flexible plate containing a second shielding structure according to the present invention. If the flexible plate itself requires a double-sided high shielding effect to form a more tightly sealed shielding environment, the same method and structure can be used to fabricate a second shielding structure 20 on the other side of the flexible plate; the second shielding structure 20 is fabricated on the second film layer 300, and the second shielding structure 20 is symmetrical to the structure composed of the silver paste pattern layer 400 and the third film layer 500.
[0057] This embodiment uses the above manufacturing method to obtain a flexible board with high shielding performance.
[0058] In the embodiment, the flexible plate structure is made by clamping the copper layer of the circuit with the cover film, which is beneficial to the subsequent high shielding circuit layer of the silver paste pattern layer. The silver paste pattern layer is made on the cover film layer, the flexible plate has high shielding effect by using the good electromagnetic shielding characteristics of the silver paste, the silver paste layer is protected by another cover film, and the structure of the double-layer cover film and double-layer pattern (copper layer circuit pattern and silver paste layer circuit pattern) is formed. Without affecting the flexibility of the flexible plate, the flexible plate has good shielding effect.
[0059] The manufacturing process of the embodiment is based on various factors such as manufacturing quality, cost, structural characteristics, and effect characteristics, to form an overall manufacturing process. The overall process is connected to each other, and is related to each other. The expansion and contraction characteristics of the cover film, the filling and adhesion characteristics of the adhesive layer, and the silk printing and shielding characteristics of the silver paste layer are fully utilized. The process features of the complex structure of multiple materials are formed, which can provide good high shielding flexible plate products for the electronic information industry mainly based on connectors.
[0060] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields under the inventive concept of the present application are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
