[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for processing an electronic device of the present application, the method comprising:

[0030] S101: providing a printed circuit board, wherein a first surface of the printed circuit board is provided with a plurality of first grooves, and a plurality of first welding portions of the printed circuit board are respectively exposed from the plurality of first grooves.

[0031] Specifically, a printed circuit board, also known as a printed circuit board, is one of the supporting bodies of electronic devices and is a carrier for electrical connections of electronic devices. In the processing of electronic devices, it is often involved to transfer chips, wafers, components, devices and other welding parts to the designated welding position of the circuit board. Therefore, it is necessary to open a welding position in the printed circuit board in advance for the welding parts to be transferred and fall into it. The first groove in the above step S101 refers to the welding position in the printed circuit board; the first welding part refers to the metal layer at the bottom of the first groove, and the welding part is welded and fixed to the metal layer by solder; the first surface refers to the welding surface of the printed circuit board, and the opening of the first groove faces this surface. In addition, the specific processing process of the printed circuit board will be described in detail in the subsequent embodiments and will not be described here.

[0032] S102: Laying solder on the bottoms of the plurality of first grooves.

[0033] Specifically, the solder only needs to cover the entire bottom of the first groove, and the height of the solder does not exceed the height of the first groove, effectively ensuring the subsequent welding assembly steps.

[0034] S103: Transferring a plurality of welding parts into a plurality of first grooves, and performing welding processing so that the first welding part is welded and fixed to the second welding part by solder; wherein, one first groove accommodates one welding part, and the second welding part is provided on the side of the welding part facing the first welding part, and the length of the second welding part is greater than or equal to 20% of the length of the first groove and less than or equal to 80% of the length of the first groove; and / or, the width of the second welding part is greater than or equal to 20% of the width of the first groove and less than or equal to 80% of the width of the first groove; and / or, the height of the second welding part is greater than or equal to 20% of the height of the first groove and less than or equal to 80% of the height of the first groove.

[0035] Specifically, each welded part includes a functional main body portion and a welding portion, and the second welding portion in the above step refers to the welding portion of the welded part. When designing the size of the welded part according to the size matching of the first groove, it is only necessary to design and determine the size of the welding portion, and then process the corresponding welded part according to the specified size of the design. The processing method of the welded part can be to form the functional main body portion and the welding portion as one piece through die casting, or to process the functional main body portion and the welding portion separately and then connect them, which is not specifically limited here. In addition, the specific transfer process of the welded part will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0036] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the size of the welding end is designed according to the length, width and height dimensions of the first groove, so that the welding end and the non-welding end of the welded part are differentiated in size. The size differentiation feature can be used to enable the welded part to fall accurately into the first groove during the transfer process; before the welded part is transferred, the size of the welding end is pre-designed according to the welding position size matching, which greatly improves the efficiency of the welded part transfer process and can realize efficient batch transfer of welded parts.

[0037] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of step S103, specifically introducing the transfer process of the welded parts. The above step S103 includes:

[0038] S201: spreading a plurality of welding pieces over the first surface, with the second welding portions of the plurality of welding pieces facing the first surface.

[0039] Since the number of welds to be transferred is relatively large, it is necessary to adopt mass transfer technology to realize the transfer process of welds. The so-called mass transfer refers to picking up multiple groups of welds of the same specifications from the original storage position with very high spatial accuracy and direction, moving these welds to the predetermined position, while maintaining the relative spatial position and direction of the welds, and then distributing the welds to each welding position at the predetermined position, repeating the above actions many times to realize the transfer of welds of large magnitude. In this embodiment, specifically, the welds are uniformly sprinkled from the weld laying tray at a specified height above the printed circuit board to the welding surface of the printed circuit board. Preferably, the specified height here is 10-2000 microns. Maintain the relative spatial position and direction of the welding end of the weld so that the welding end faces the welding surface.

[0040] In another embodiment, before step S201 , the first surface of the printed circuit board may be cleaned to ensure that the welded parts are not affected by waste slag, residual materials and other substances during the transfer and welding process.

[0041] S202: applying a horizontal vibration force to the printed circuit board so that the soldering parts fall into the first grooves under the action of the vibration force, and each first groove only accommodates one soldering part.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the soldering parts in step S201 above cover the entire soldering surface of the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board stops being transported, and a manipulator or clamp is used to clamp both sides of the printed circuit board and apply a vibration force so that each soldering part falls into a corresponding groove. In this embodiment, at least two horizontal vibration forces are applied to the printed circuit board, for example, to achieve vibration in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions of the printed circuit board, and the vibration is applied a predetermined number of times, for example, 2-100 times, so that the soldering parts fall into the first groove under the action of the vibration force. Through the above embodiment, the large-scale transfer process of soldering parts can be efficiently completed using a simple process, effectively improving the efficiency of the transfer process.

[0043] S203: removing excess welding parts that do not fall into the first groove.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the printed circuit board is passed through the middle of two conveyor plates of a certain relative height so that excess welded parts are pushed away from the first surface by the conveyor plates; wherein the relative height of the conveyor plates is equal to the sum of the height of the printed circuit board and the height of the welded parts above the first surface. In other words, the two conveyor plates act as height limiters, and the height between the conveyor plates only allows the circuit board and one welded part that falls into the first groove to pass through. In addition, a welded part carrier tray is provided below the transmission plate, and excess welded parts that are pushed away from the first surface fall into the carrier tray through the gap between the conveyor plates. Through the above embodiment, the height restriction can effectively remove excess welded parts, ensuring that there is only one welded part in the first groove, while also providing technical support for subsequent inspection and welding processes.

[0045] S204: Detecting whether there is any abnormality in the laying of each first groove; wherein the abnormality in the laying includes no welding part in the first groove, multiple welding parts in the first groove, and the second welding part of the welding part is away from the first welding part.

[0046] Specifically, according to the originally designed circuit board diagram, all first grooves on the printed circuit board are scanned by an optical scanning device to check whether there is any abnormality in the placement of the welding parts at each welding position.

[0047] S205: In response to at least one first groove having a laying abnormality, the printed circuit board is stored separately; in response to all first grooves having no laying abnormality, a step of performing a welding process to fix the first welding portion to the second welding portion by soldering.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the selected solder type is heated in combination with its melting point, and the solder melts to connect the welding end of the welding piece and the first welding portion at the bottom of the first groove.

[0049] In another embodiment, the above-mentioned step S205 also includes cleaning the first surface of the printed circuit board and the surfaces of all welding parts, which can ensure the cleanliness of the prepared printed circuit board and provide protection for the subsequent processing of the electronic device, so that the subsequent process will not be affected by substances such as solder waste and residue.

[0050] Through the above implementation, a large number of welding parts transfer processes are realized by utilizing the matching design of welding parts and welding positions and the mass transfer technology, which effectively improves the transfer efficiency and saves time costs.

[0051] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is a flow chart of an implementation method of step S101. Figure 4 yes Figure 3The structural diagram of an embodiment of step S301 to step S303 in FIG1 mainly introduces the processing process of the printed circuit board in detail. The above step S101 includes:

[0052] S301 : forming a patterned metal circuit layer 202 on at least one surface of the substrate 10 .

[0053] Specifically, see Figure 4 (a) A substrate 10 coated with copper on both sides is provided. A patterned metal circuit layer 202 is formed through an etching process. The pattern here refers to the originally designed circuit pattern. The specific formation process of metal circuit layer 202 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments and is not detailed here.

[0054] S302 : forming an insulating dielectric layer 30 on the surface of the metal circuit layer 202 , wherein the insulating dielectric layer 30 located on the first surface 101 of the substrate 10 is flush with at least a portion of the metal circuit layer 202 .

[0055] See also Figure 4 (b) Here, the use of insulating dielectric layer 30 material instead of the solder resist ink used in the prior art can effectively avoid the problem of ink window offset causing the soldering area to decrease. The specific process corresponding to this step will be described in detail in the subsequent embodiments.

[0056] S303: Lowering the height of the metal circuit layer 202 flush with the insulating dielectric layer 30 so that the insulating dielectric layer 30 and the metal circuit layer 202 located on the first surface 101 form a plurality of first grooves 103; wherein the metal circuit layer 202 exposed from the first grooves 103 forms a plurality of first welding portions 201.

[0057] Specifically, see Figure 4 (c) In this embodiment, the height of the metal circuit layer 202 can be lowered by micro-etching, UV laser drilling and ablation, laser milling, or CO2 laser drilling and ablation, thereby forming a plurality of first welding portions 201 in the metal circuit layer 202. This embodiment allows for directionally controlling the height difference between the surface of the insulating dielectric layer 30 and the first welding portions 201 at the welding locations, effectively controlling the depth of the first grooves 103.

[0058] Through the above implementation method, a printed circuit board suitable for mass transfer scenarios can be processed, providing technical support for the transfer process of welded parts.

[0059] In this implementation, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is a flow chart of an implementation method of step S301. Figure 6 yes Figure 5The structural diagram of an embodiment of step S401 to step S408 in the figure specifically introduces the processing process of the metal circuit layer. The above step S301 includes:

[0060] S401 : providing a substrate 10 , wherein the substrate 10 comprises a first surface 102 and a second surface 104 disposed opposite to each other, and the first surface 102 and the second surface 104 are respectively pre-covered with a metal layer 20 .

[0061] Specifically, see Figure 6 (a) The metal layer 20 here may be a copper layer, and the substrate 10 refers to a dielectric layer. Pre-processing a substrate 10 with copper layers on both sides can provide a basis for subsequent processing.

[0062] S402 : performing a drilling process from one side of the first surface 102 to form a plurality of holes 40 . The holes 40 at least penetrate the metal layer 20 and the substrate 10 located on the first surface 102 .

[0063] Specifically, see Figure 6 (b) Laser drilling is used to create a hole 40 penetrating one side of the metal layer 20 and the substrate 10. The hole 40 here refers to a micro blind via or a through-hole. After drilling, desmear treatment is performed to remove excess material and waste. The hole is then treated with a conductive material, either by copper plating or black hole treatment, to provide technical support for subsequent electroplating steps.

[0064] S403: A photosensitive resist film 50 is formed on one side of the first surface 102 and the second surface 104, and a first opening 501 is provided at a position of the photosensitive resist film 50 corresponding to the hole 40 on the first surface 102 side, and the hole 40 and a portion of the metal layer 20 adjacent to the hole 40 are exposed from the first opening 501.

[0065] Specifically, see Figure 6 (c) The photoresist film 50 is a polymer compound that, when exposed to a specific light source, undergoes a polymerization reaction to form a stable substance that adheres to the board surface, thereby preventing electroplating. Based on the circuit design, the photoresist film 50 is attached to the metal layer 20. First openings 501 are defined in the photoresist film 50 at locations corresponding to the holes 40. The length of each first opening 501 is greater than that of the hole 40. This step provides technical support for subsequently increasing the height of the metal layer 20.

[0066] S404 : forming a metal pillar 401 by electroplating in the first opening 501 and the hole 40 .

[0067] Specifically, see Figure 6(d) The surface of the metal pillar 401 is flush with the surface of the photoresist film 50 . This step can effectively increase the height of the metal layer 20 .

[0068] S405: removing all the photoresist films 50.

[0069] For details, please refer to Figure 6 (e).

[0070] S406 : forming a photoresist film 50 on one side of the first surface 102 and the second surface 104 , and the positions corresponding to the metal pillars on each side are covered by the photoresist film 50 , while at least part of the remaining positions are not covered by the photoresist film 50 .

[0071] Specifically, see Figure 6 (f) The photoresist film 50 is selectively provided according to the welding position. The photoresist film 50 can be formed only on the first surface 102 or the second surface 104. The provision of the photoresist film 50 is also based on the pre-designed circuit diagram.

[0072] S407 : removing the metal layer 20 not covered by the photoresist film 50 to form a patterned metal circuit layer 202 .

[0073] Specifically, see Figure 6 (g) The metal layer 20 is corroded by an etching process. The portion of the metal layer 20 protected by the photoresist film 50 is not corroded, so the pattern of the metal circuit layer 202 finally formed is completely consistent with the circuit diagram.

[0074] S408: removing the photoresist film 50.

[0075] For details, please refer to Figure 6 (h).

[0076] Through the above implementation, a printed circuit board that meets circuit requirements can be processed, and the thickness of the metal circuit layer corresponding to the welding position can be effectively increased, providing a guarantee for the subsequent directional control of the height of the welding position.

[0077] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of step S302. The above step S302 specifically includes:

[0078] S501: forming an insulating dielectric layer on a surface of the metal circuit layer, wherein the insulating dielectric layer covers the metal circuit layer.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, a lamination process is used to coat the metal circuit layer with an insulating dielectric layer. The insulating dielectric layer mentioned herein can include any of epoxy resins, phenolic resins, polyimide resins, BT resins, ABF resins, and ceramic-based resins. Replacing the solder mask ink used in prior art with an insulating dielectric material effectively avoids the problem of ink window offset, which reduces the soldering area.

[0080] S502: Grinding the insulating dielectric layer until the metal pillar is exposed from the insulating dielectric layer and the metal pillar is flush with the insulating dielectric layer.

[0081] Specifically, the surface of the insulating dielectric layer may be ground by scraping, brushing, laser ablation, ion cutting, ion polishing, water jet, or the like.

[0082] Through the above-mentioned implementation, the use of insulating dielectric layer material to replace the solder mask ink used in the prior art can effectively avoid the problem of ink window offset causing the welding area to become smaller, and at the same time can directionally control the height of the metal column, providing technical support for the batch transfer welding process.

[0083] The electronic device formed by the above steps in this application will be further described from the structural aspect below.

[0084] See also Figure 8 , Figure 81 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device of the present application.
