[0067] S7: pattern electroplating, so that the conductive copper layer reaches the preset thickness; copper plating is used to thicken the hole and the circuit copper layer, and improve the plating quality.

[0068] S8: back drilling, using mechanical drilling to make the through hole reach the preset depth;

According to the process, the stub of the back drilling is 2.67 mil. When etching, the copper on the back drilling surface is exposed to the etching without tin protection. After the stub is etched, it is 0 mil, which causes the 5G signal test to fail. By adjusting the process and canceling the back drilling etching process, the etching caused by etching can be effectively solved, and the stub problem can be solved.
