Description

Technical Field

[0002] The circuit board in the prior art is usually provided with an interlayer coupling structure, which uses the positions of the same-level routing or different-level routing in the vertical direction in the circuit board to adjust and realize wireless signal connection and energy transmission between different routings.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 1( a ) and FIG. 1( b ), the interlayer vertical coupling structure of the circuit board has a first vertical line 13 and a second vertical line 14 arranged in the coupling medium layer 12 between the two routing reference layers 11. The disadvantage of this interlayer vertical coupling structure is that the coupling between different layers is performed in a vertical alignment manner, which is also affected by the alignment degree and the change of the transmission medium, resulting in the coupling energy failing to reach the expected value.

[0060] In one embodiment, a method is provided as follows Figure 3 The method for preparing the circuit board side wall coupling groove shown includes the following steps:

[0061] S300, providing a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a first shielding layer, a second shielding layer, and an inner layer medium disposed between the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer, wherein a first circuit and a second circuit are arranged in the inner layer medium.

[0062] The first shielding layer and the second shielding layer are used as routing reference layers. In addition, the circuit board provided in this step is a circuit board obtained after PCB pressing process, and before the PCB pressing process, the following steps are also included:

[0063] An inner layer dielectric is laid on the second shielding layer of the bottom layer, a first circuit (obtained by pattern transfer and pattern etching) is arranged on the inner layer dielectric, an inner layer dielectric is laid again on the first circuit, a second circuit (also obtained by pattern transfer and pattern etching) is arranged on the inner layer dielectric, an inner layer dielectric is laid again on the second circuit, and a first shielding layer is arranged on the inner layer dielectric.

[0064] S301, opening a through slot of a first preset length on a circuit board.

[0065] Among them, on the top layer of the circuit board (i.e., the shielding layer 31) with a preset thickness of H, a milling groove with a first preset length of L is performed to obtain a through groove 32, such as Figure 3 As shown in (a), the groove milling method can be laser groove milling or mechanical groove milling.

[0066] Optionally, in the process of forming the through groove 32, the distance between the two side walls of the through groove is controlled to be a first set distance W (W>0.1mm). Specifically, the size of the milling cutter can be used to control the first set distance W between the two side walls, which plays a role in controlling the coupling energy size of the wireless energy transmission between the wiring on the two side walls according to the set distance W. Taking interlayer coupling as an example, one indicator for evaluating wireless energy transmission is the coupling coefficient K, and its estimation formula is as follows:

[0067] K=(εr*S) / (4π*W*C0)

[0068] Wherein, εr is the relative dielectric constant of the coupling medium, S is the coupling area, W is the distance between the two side walls of the through slot, that is, the first set distance, and C0 is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit board.

[0069] S302, electroplating a metal layer on the sidewall of the through groove.

[0070] The sidewall metallization of the through slot 32 is achieved by chemical copper deposition and electroplating to obtain a metal layer 33 on the through slot 32, such as Figure 3 (b) as shown.

[0071] S303, remove the metal layers at the two ends of the through groove, retain the first metal layer on the first side wall and the second metal layer on the second side wall of the through groove, so that the first metal layer is connected to the inner first circuit of the circuit board, and the second metal layer is connected to the inner second circuit of the circuit board, to form a side wall coupling groove of the circuit board.

[0072] Wherein, secondary milling is performed at the two ends of the through slot 32 to remove the metal layer at the two ends, such as Figure 3 (c) As shown. Optionally, a second milling groove is performed at one end of the through slot 32 with a second preset length a1, and a second milling groove is performed at the other end of the through slot 32 with a third preset length a2, and the second preset length a1 and the third preset length a2 can be equal or different, and the first preset length and the second preset length are required to be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm. For example, Figure 3 In (c), the second preset length a1 is equal to the third preset length a2.

[0073] After the second preset length a1 and the third preset length a2 are used to mill the grooves at the two ends, the remaining length of the groove side wall metal is (L-a1-a2), that is, the lengths of the first metal layer 331 and the second metal layer 332 obtained after the second milling are both (L-a1-a2). Therefore, the coupling area formula for forming the side wall coupling groove is:

[0074] S=H*(L-a1-a2)

[0075] Wherein, S is the coupling area of ​​the side wall coupling groove, H is the preset thickness of the circuit board, L is the first preset length, a1 is the second preset length, and a2 is the third preset length.

[0076] After the secondary milling, a side wall coupling groove of the circuit board is formed, so that the first metal layer 331 in the side wall coupling groove is connected to the first line 36, and the second metal layer 332 in the side wall coupling groove is connected to the second line 37. Figure 3 (d) as shown.

[0077] The method for preparing the circuit board side wall coupling groove of this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0079] (2) The intermediate coupling medium between the first metal layer 331 and the second metal layer 332 of the sidewall coupling groove is air, and no other filler is needed, which can effectively reduce the coupling loss caused by using glass cloth as the coupling medium in the prior art.

[0080] In one embodiment, a method is provided as follows Figure 4 The method for preparing the circuit board side wall coupling groove shown includes the following steps:

[0081] S400, providing a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a first shielding layer, a second shielding layer, and an inner layer medium disposed between the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer, wherein a first circuit and a second circuit are arranged in the inner layer medium.

[0082] S401, opening a through slot of a first preset length on a circuit board.

[0083] S402, electroplating a metal layer on the sidewall of the through groove.

[0084] S403, remove the metal layers at the two ends of the through groove, retain the first metal layer on the first side wall and the second metal layer on the second side wall of the through groove, so that the first metal layer is connected to the inner first circuit of the circuit board, and the second metal layer is connected to the inner second circuit of the circuit board, to form a side wall coupling groove of the circuit board.

[0085] The contents of the above steps S400 to S403 correspond to the contents of steps S300 to S303 of the previous embodiment. For the specific process, please refer to the records in steps S300 to S303, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0086] S404, removing part of the surface metal of the circuit board by etching, so that the remaining surface metal of the circuit board is not in contact with the metal layer on the side wall of the through groove.

[0087] Part of the surface metal of the circuit board can be removed by pattern transfer and liquid etching to form the groove 34, such as Figure 4Specifically, an upper groove is formed between the first metal layer 331 and the shielding layer 31 located at the top layer of the circuit board, and a lower groove is formed between the first metal layer 331 and the shielding layer 31 located at the bottom layer of the circuit board; an upper groove is formed between the second metal layer 332 and the shielding layer 31 located at the top layer of the circuit board, and a lower groove is formed between the second metal layer 332 and the shielding layer 31 located at the bottom layer of the circuit board. The positions of the four grooves 34 are as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in (b), the function is to disconnect the entire groove wall of the side wall coupling groove from the copper sheet on the surface of the shielding layer 31, thereby achieving insulation between the side wall coupling groove and the shielding layers 31 on the top and bottom layers of the circuit board.

[0088] In this step, Figure 4 As shown in (b), the first metal layer 331 of the side wall coupling groove is connected to the first circuit 36 ​​arranged in the inner layer medium 35 of the circuit board, and the second metal layer 332 of the side wall coupling groove is connected to the second circuit 37 arranged in the inner layer medium 35 of the circuit board.

[0091] As another embodiment, the coupling medium in the side wall coupling groove may also be air. Using pure resin or air as the coupling medium of the side wall coupling groove can further reduce the coupling loss between the first line 36 and the second line 37 .

[0092] The preparation method of the circuit board side wall coupling groove of the present embodiment can not only realize wireless energy transmission between different traces in the circuit board through the side wall coupling groove, reducing the coupling loss caused by the alignment deviation of the trace position in the prior art; it can also realize insulation between the side wall coupling groove and the top and bottom shielding layers of the circuit board, thereby ensuring the safety of the circuit board.

[0093] In one embodiment, a side wall coupling groove of a circuit board is provided, such as Figure 3 (c) as shown, including:

[0094] The circuit board includes two shielding layers 31 (a first shielding layer and a second shielding layer, Figure 3 (c) shows only the first shielding layer), and an inner layer medium (not shown in the figure) arranged between the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer, wherein a first circuit (not shown in the figure) and a second circuit (not shown in the figure) are arranged in the inner layer medium.

[0102] The sidewall coupling groove of this embodiment is formed by opening a through groove on the circuit board, and metallizing the sidewall after two groove milling to obtain a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer is used to connect the first circuit, and the second metal layer is used to connect the second circuit, so as to realize wireless energy transmission between different lines in the circuit board through the sidewall coupling groove, and reduce the coupling loss caused by alignment deviation of the line position in the prior art. In addition, the intermediate coupling medium between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is air or pure resin, which can effectively reduce the coupling loss caused by using glass cloth as a coupling medium in the prior art.

[0103] In one embodiment, a side wall coupling groove of a circuit board is provided, such as Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 As shown in (b), the side wall coupling groove and Figure 3 The difference between the sidewall coupling groove in (c) is that:

[0104] In this embodiment, the two shielding layers 31 of the side wall coupling groove do not contact the first metal layer 331 and the second metal layer 332; an upper groove is formed between the first metal layer 331 and the shielding layer 31 located at the top layer of the circuit board, and a lower groove is formed between the first metal layer 331 and the shielding layer 31 located at the bottom layer of the circuit board; an upper groove is formed between the second metal layer 332 and the shielding layer 31 located at the top layer of the circuit board, and a lower groove is formed between the second metal layer 332 and the shielding layer 31 located at the bottom layer of the circuit board.
