[0043] Step 8: Apply brown glue to cover and protect the gold surface of the inner layer L3. First, make the inner layer soft gold pattern on the inner layer where the inner layer step cavity is located, then make the inner light circuit after stripping the film, and form the inner layer circuit pattern after etching. Use brown glue to cover the soft gold-plated area to prevent glue from flowing during pressing and contamination and damage to the gold surface when uncovering.

The gong PP belt coefficient refers to the coefficient of gong PP after 1-2 inner layer etching to avoid the asymmetry of the cavity position of the gong and the step position of the inner layer of L1-2 layer, which leads to scrapping;

[0049] Step 14: Drill holes in the outer copper plate to form through holes;

[0050] Step 15, copper deposition, board plating, and chemical deposition are used to metallize the through hole wall, and then the hole copper and surface copper are thickened by 5-8um by board plating; the hole is connected to the outer layer of copper to form a conductive channel;

[0051] Step 16: External light imaging: affix a layer of photosensitive dry film to the copper plate, and use film to selectively expose and develop the outer circuit;

[0052] Step 17: Copper plating: Use electroplating to plate exposed copper lines, holes, and pads to the copper thickness required by the customer.

[0053] Step 18: Soft gold plating on the outer layer; electroplating is used to plate the exposed copper circuits, holes, and pads to the soft gold thickness required by the customer;

[0054] Step 19, outer layer etching, first stripping the film, exposing all the copper to be etched, etching away all the exposed copper after stripping the film, forming a circuit;

[0055] Step 20: Outer layer AOI to check if there are other abnormal problems;

[0056] Step 21, printing solder resist, printing a layer of solder resist ink on the circuit board, using film for selective exposure and development to form an effective soldering position pattern;

[0057] Step 22, controlled depth milling: Use the controlled depth milling method to mill the part of the inner layer previously plated with soft gold and pasted with brown glue until the cover can be removed, but the brown glue cannot be damaged;

[0058] Step 23, uncovering; after controlled depth milling, uncovering to form a stepped plate, tearing off the inner brown glue to expose the inner soft gold-plated surface;

[0059] Step 24: Normal electrical testing, milling, final inspection, and shipment.

[0060] In the above technical scheme, the present invention plates soft gold on the inner layer of the step circuit board. The hardness of the soft gold is relatively small, the texture is soft, and the purity of the soft gold is high. Therefore, the reliability of welding is improved, and the risk of components falling off after being installed by customers can be prevented, which is conducive to ensuring that there are no accidents in harsh environments.
