[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] The terms used herein are only intended to describe specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The terms "comprise", "include" and the like used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.

[0032] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0033] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the operation flow of a semi-additive process method for an FCBGA substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a process flow chart of a semi-additive process for an FCBGA substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The semi-additive process method for the FCBGA substrate according to this embodiment may include steps S1 to S5.

[0035] Step S1: On the surface of the inner circuit 2 of the packaging substrate, ABF layer 3 and copper foil 4 are sequentially laminated.

[0036] The innermost material of the packaging substrate is a core board 1, on which copper lines are fabricated as inner layer lines 2. The manufacturing method and structure of this inner layer line 2 are the same as those of a conventional printed circuit board, for example... Figure 2 As shown, a through slot is formed on the core board 1, which penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the core board 1. The inner layer circuit 2 fills the through slot and extends to the upper and lower surfaces of the core board 1.

[0037] Before sequentially laminating ABF layer 3 and copper foil 4, the surface of inner layer circuit 2 needs to be roughened to improve the bonding force between inner layer circuit 2 and ABF layer 3.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention use ABF layer products as interlayer insulation materials for circuits, which can be used to fabricate precision circuits on the surface of the material using a semi-additive process.

[0039] Next, on the surface of the inner circuit 2, an ABF layer 3 can be first laminated using a vacuum laminator at a temperature lower than normal, and then copper foil 4 can be laminated onto the surface of the ABF layer 3.

[0040] Step S2: Place the pressed ABF layer 3 in an oven to bake and complete the pre-curing.

[0041] This step uses low-temperature baking, the main purpose of which is to remove moisture adsorbed by the encapsulation substrate during processing. Specifically, the laminated ABF layer 3 is placed in an oven for baking, first at 130°C for 30 minutes, and then at 180°C for 60 minutes. After baking, the curing degree of ABF layer 3 increases slightly.

[0042] Step S3, vacuum heating and pressurizing the pre-cured ABF layer 3 to completely cure the ABF layer 3.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, vacuum heating and pressurizing the pre-cured ABF layer 3 can include: placing the pre-cured ABF layer 3 in a vacuum condition, and through heating and pressurizing under the mirror isolation steel plate clamping of the laminator, completely curing the ABF layer 3.

[0044] Further, the temperature after heating can be 190℃-210℃, and the pressure after pressurizing can be greater than 1MPa.

[0045] It should be noted that the conventional ABF curing is after the ABF surface circuit is made, and is baked at 130℃ for 30 minutes in an oven, and then baked at 190℃-210℃ for 1 hour in a temperature oven. In the embodiment of the present application, the pre-cured packaging substrate is clamped by the mirror isolation steel plate in the laminator, and the ABF is completely cured by the action of temperature and pressure in the vacuum chamber.

[0046] Step S4, removing the copper foil 4 to manufacture the outer layer circuit 9 on the completely cured ABF layer 3.

[0047] Step S5, repeating the above steps S1-S4 to form a multi-layer circuit packaging substrate.

[0048] Therefore, the outer layer circuit 9 is made on the surface of the completely cured ABF layer 3, and the manufactured outer layer circuit 9 is repeated as the inner layer circuit 2 to obtain a multi-layer circuit packaging substrate.

[0049] In order to specifically describe the manufacturing process of the outer layer circuit 9, Figure 3 The operation flowchart of the manufacturing process of the outer layer circuit according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown, Figure 4 The process flowchart of the manufacturing process of the outer layer circuit according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment of the present application, in the above step S4, removing the copper foil 4 to manufacture the outer layer circuit 9 on the completely cured ABF layer 3 can further include steps S41-S48.

[0051] Step S41, laser drilling the completely cured ABF layer 3 and the copper foil 4 to form a blind hole 5 in communication with the inner layer circuit 2 in the ABF layer 3 and the copper foil 4.

[0052] Laser drilling to form a blind hole 5 in communication with the inner layer circuit 2 in the ABF layer 3 and the copper foil 4, thereby forming an interlayer interconnection channel.

[0053] It is to be noted that the conventional laser drilling process is performed on the surface of the ABF layer 3 after pre-curing. Unlike the conventional process, the laser drilling process of the embodiment of the present application is performed on the surface of the fully cured ABF layer 3.

[0054] Step S42, removing the laser drilling residual glue.

[0055] The residual glue carried by the laser drilling inside the blind hole 5 is removed. Unlike the conventional process, the conventional process is to remove the glue on the surface of the ABF hole after pre-curing.

[0056] Step S43, removing the surface copper foil 4.

[0057] Thus, the ABF layer 3 and the blind hole 5 are exposed.

[0058] Step S44, electroless plating copper in the ABF layer 3 and the blind hole 5 to form the electroplating seed layer 6.

[0059] The electroless plating copper can provide conductivity for subsequent electroplating. Unlike the conventional electroless plating copper deposition on the surface of the pre-cured ABF, the electroless plating copper of the embodiment of the present application is deposited on the surface of the fully cured ABF layer 3, and the non-hole area of the ABF layer 3 is not roughened by removing the glue.

[0060] Further, the thickness of the electroplating seed layer 6 can be 0.3 μm to 1 μm.

[0061] Step S45, photoetching to form a patterned electroplating mask 7 on the electroplating seed layer 6.

[0062] Dry film is pressed on the electroplating seed layer 6, and photoetching and development are performed to form a patterned electroplating mask 7.

[0063] Step S46, electroplating to form a circuit pattern 8 in the area of the electroplating seed layer 6 not covered by the patterned electroplating mask 7 and filling the blind hole 5.

[0064] This step is patterned electroplating, which is used to plate out the circuit pattern 8.

[0065] Step S47, removing the patterned electroplating mask 7.

[0066] Step S48, removing the electroplating seed layer 6 covered by the patterned electroplating mask 7 to form an outer layer circuit 9.

[0067] By rapid etching, the electroplating seed layer covered by the patterned electroplating mask 7 is removed to form an outer layer circuit 9.

[0068] Next, Figure 5 The structure diagram of the multilayer circuit packaging substrate according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0069] As Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the manufactured outer layer circuit 9 is used as the inner layer circuit 2, and the above steps S1 to S4 are repeated to alternately stack the inner layer circuit 2, ABF layer 3 and outer layer circuit 9 to obtain a multilayer circuit packaging substrate.

[0070] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the solder mask layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, after forming the multilayer circuit packaging substrate in step S5, the method may further include: forming a solder resist layer 10 on the outermost layer of the multilayer circuit packaging substrate. The solder resist layer, as a protective layer, can be coated on lines or substrates of the packaging substrate that do not require soldering, and can also provide long-term protection for the formed circuit patterns.

[0072] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of an organic protective film according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, after fabricating the solder resist layer 10, the process may further include: coating an organic protective film 11 onto the outermost area of ​​the multilayer circuit package substrate not covered by the solder resist layer 10. The coating of the organic protective film can both protect the copper from oxidation and improve the solderability of the copper pads.

[0074] Furthermore, the organic protective film 11 material includes any one of NiAu, NiPdAu, OSP, and Sn.

[0075] As can be seen from the above description, the semi-additive process method for FCBGA substrates provided in the embodiments of the present invention achieves at least the following technical effects:

[0076] (1) The large copper sheet does not burst, ensuring the reliability of the substrate;

[0077] (2) Reduce process constraints and increase design freedom;

[0078] (3) Reduce the process window and improve yield;

[0079] (4) Reduce substrate warpage.

[0080] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the word "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements.

[0081] The above-described specific embodiments further illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application. It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
