[0024] This application provides a method for manufacturing a rigid-flex board. For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a rigid-flexible board of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the production method includes:

[0025] Step S11: providing a flexible substrate.

[0026] In this embodiment, the flexible substrate includes a resin layer and two copper foil layers. The copper foil layers are located on two opposite sides of the resin layer to form a flexible substrate including two copper foil layers. In other embodiments, the flexible substrate may also be composed of a copper foil layer. Copper foil is a metal material and is often used in boards such as PCB boards or circuit boards.

[0027] This step also includes: making the copper foil layer on one side of the flexible substrate or the copper foil layers on two opposite sides into a circuit pattern. By making the copper foil layer on the surface of the flexible substrate into a circuit pattern to form an inner circuit copper layer, it is also convenient to form a circuit pad after the subsequent soft board layer is opened, so as to form a circuit connection.

[0028] Step S12: laminating a layer of flexible resin-coated copper foil on two opposite sides of the flexible substrate to obtain a soft board layer.

[0029] The flexible resin-coated copper foil includes a resin layer, an insulating layer and a copper foil layer in sequence. The copper foil layer is arranged on the side away from the flexible substrate. That is, the resin layer, the insulating layer and the copper foil layer are arranged in sequence in the direction away from the flexible substrate.

[0030] The flexible resin-coated copper foil is a pre-processed semi-finished product, and in this embodiment, it can be directly applied to the processing technology of the rigid-flexible board. In this embodiment, the two sides of the flexible resin-coated copper foils provided with the resin layer are directly pressed onto the opposite two sides of the flexible substrate, so that the copper foil layer of the flexible resin-coated copper foil is arranged away from the side of the flexible substrate.

[0031] In one embodiment, the soft board layer includes a flexible substrate and flexible resin-coated copper foil layers located on two opposite sides of the flexible substrate.

[0032] In another embodiment, the flexible printed circuit (FPC) layer includes a flexible substrate, and a resin layer and an insulating layer located on opposite surface sides of the flexible substrate. In another embodiment, step S12 further includes: using a graphic etching process to remove the copper foil layer at the position corresponding to the to-be-opened cover on the surface of the flexible copper-clad laminate with resin coating, so as to form a flexible printed circuit (FPC) area with insulated surface. At the same time, it can also ensure that the surface of the board is flat after pasting the peelable adhesive in step S13, and avoid the unevenness or protrusion of the board surface caused by the excessive thickness of the peelable adhesive.

[0033] Step S13: Paste a peelable adhesive at the position corresponding to the to-be-opened cover on the surface of the flexible copper-clad laminate with resin coating.

[0034] Among them, the peelable adhesive can be completely removed without residue. The peelable adhesive is pasted at the position corresponding to the to-be-opened cover on the surface of the copper-clad laminate with resin coating, that is, corresponding to the subsequently formed flexible printed circuit (FPC) area, and the peelable adhesive is not pasted on the rigid board area.

[0035] Step S14: Press and laminate a prepreg and a copper-clad laminate layer on the surfaces of the flexible copper-clad laminate with resin coating and the peelable adhesive in sequence to obtain a rigid board layer.

[0036] A rigid board layer is fabricated on the surface of the flexible copper-clad laminate with resin coating, where the rigid board layer at least includes multiple insulating layers and copper foil layers formed alternately. That is, the copper-clad laminate layer at least includes one insulating layer and two copper foil layers located on opposite surface sides of the insulating layer.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the copper-clad laminate layer includes one insulating layer and two copper foil layers located on opposite surface sides of the insulating layer. Step S14 specifically includes: pressing and laminating the first prepreg on the surfaces of the flexible copper-clad laminate with resin coating and the peelable adhesive, pressing and laminating the first copper-clad laminate layer on the surface of the first prepreg, pressing and laminating the second prepreg on the surface of the first copper foil layer, and pressing and laminating the second copper-clad laminate layer on the surface of the second prepreg, so as to form a rigid board layer including at least four copper foil layers. Among them, the material compositions of the first copper-clad laminate layer and the second copper-clad laminate layer are the same. The materials of the first prepreg and the second prepreg are the same. By analogy, multiple copper foil layers can be fabricated on the surface of the flexible printed circuit (FPC) layer according to the specific functional requirements of the rigid-flex printed circuit board. Among them, the copper-clad laminate layer can also be pre-designed and then pressed onto the surface of the flexible printed circuit (FPC) layer by a pressing method and separated by prepregs.

[0038] Among them, the prepreg is also called PP. In a specific embodiment, the insulating layer can be PP or insulating resin, and the material thereof is not specifically limited herein.

[0039] In another embodiment, the resin copper foil layer can also be directly made into the required number of copper layers. That is, the resin copper foil layer can include multiple insulating layers and copper foil layers arranged at intervals. Specifically, the resin copper foil layer sequentially includes a first copper foil layer, a first insulating layer, a second copper foil layer, a second insulating layer, and a third copper foil layer along the direction perpendicular to the board surface, thus forming a rigid board layer including two insulating layers and three copper foil layers. In other embodiments, a rigid board layer including three insulating layers and four copper foil layers can also be formed, which is not limited herein.

[0040] It should be noted that the rigid board layer is located on the opposite two side surfaces of the flexible board layer. The flexible board layer and the rigid board layers arranged on both sides of the flexible board layer form the rigid board area of the rigid-flex board, and the flexible board layer forms the flexible board area of the rigid-flex board.

[0041] After this step, it can also include: performing patterning on the copper foil layer on the surface of the rigid board layer to form an outer layer circuit copper foil layer; making vias or through holes in the rigid board area of the rigid-flex board to enable electrical interconnection between the outer layer circuit copper foil layer and the inner layer copper foil layer, and further enabling electrical interconnection between the circuit copper foil layers in the rigid board area and the circuit copper foil layers in the flexible board area. Among them, each copper foil layer of the rigid-flex board can be made into a circuit copper foil layer.

[0042] Step S15: Use a peelable adhesive to remove the rigid board layer at the position to be opened, obtaining a rigid-flex board.

[0043] This step specifically includes: using a milling process to process the rigid board layer at the position to be opened to expose the peelable adhesive layer, and then using the peelable adhesive to tear off the rigid board layer at the position to be opened, thereby obtaining a rigid-flex board.

[0044] After this step, it also includes: performing laser ablation windowing on the flexible board area of the rigid-flex board to expose the copper foil layer on the flexible substrate of the flexible board layer, thereby forming connection pads in the flexible board area to facilitate connection with external devices or welding components in the flexible board area. Compared with welding components in the rigid board area, welding components in the flexible board area can reduce the overall volume of the rigid-flex board. In a specific embodiment, one connection pad can be formed by windowing on one side surface of the flexible board layer, or two connection pads can be formed by windowing on the opposite two side surfaces of the flexible board layer, which is not limited herein.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the opening position is set on the same side of the opposite two sides of the flexible board layer, so that the rigid-flex board forms a flying tail structure, and further facilitates windowing in the flexible board area to form connection pads to connect to an external circuit. In other embodiments, the opening position can also be set at the middle position of the opposite two sides of the flexible board layer to form a left-right symmetric rigid-flex board.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: a soft board layer is obtained by laminating a layer of flexible resin-coated copper foil on the surfaces of the two opposite sides of the flexible substrate, and a peelable adhesive is pasted on the surface of the flexible resin-coated copper foil at the position to be opened; then a semi-cured sheet and a resin copper foil layer are sequentially pressed on the surface of the flexible resin-coated copper foil and the peelable adhesive to obtain a hard board layer; finally, the hard board layer at the position to be opened is removed using the peelable adhesive, thereby obtaining a hard-flex board. Using a flexible resin-coated copper foil instead of a traditional covering film not only reduces the production process, but also reduces costs. At the same time, the board thickness can be reduced in the process of making a flexible resin-coated copper foil alone, thereby reducing the board thickness of the hard-flex board. In addition, the hard-flex board adopts a flying tail structure, which makes the precision of laser ablation window opening in the soft board area higher.

[0047] This application also provides a rigid-flex board. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the rigid-flex board of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the rigid-flex board includes a flexible board area 21 and a rigid board area 22 .

[0050] The hard board area 22 includes a flexible substrate 201, a flexible resin-coated copper foil 202 located on opposite sides of the flexible substrate 201, and a prepreg 203 and a resin copper foil layer 204 located on the surface of the flexible resin-coated copper foil 202. The resin copper foil layer 204 includes at least one insulating layer P and two copper foil layers T located on opposite sides of the insulating layer.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the flexible substrate 201 includes a resin layer C and copper foil layers T located on opposite sides of the resin layer C, and the copper foil layer T of the flexible resin-coated copper foil 202 corresponding to the flexible board area is removed to expose the insulating layer. The flexible board area 21 is also provided with an opening 211 to expose the copper foil layer T on the surface of the flexible substrate 201 to form a connection pad.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rigid board area 22 is further provided with a via 221 , and a copper layer is plated on the side wall of the via 221 to connect the inner copper foil layer and the outer copper foil layer.

[0053] In this embodiment, the soft board area 21 is located on one side of the hard board area 22 to form a hard-flex board with a flying tail structure.

[0054] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: By providing openings in the flexible board area to expose the copper foil layer on the flexible substrate, connection pads are formed for electrical connection with an external circuit. Additionally, the rigid-flex board adopts a flying tail structure, enabling higher precision in laser ablation for windowing in the flexible board area.

[0055] In other embodiments, the flexible board area 21 can also be located between two rigid board areas 22.

[0056] For details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of the second embodiment of the rigid-flex board of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, the rigid-flex board includes a flexible board area 31 and a rigid board area 32.

[0057] Among them, the flexible board area 31 and the rigid board area 32 are connected by a flexible substrate 301.

[0058] The flexible board area 31 includes a resin layer C and an insulating layer P of the flexible resin-coated copper foil 302 located on the flexible substrate 301 and on both opposite sides of the flexible substrate 301. Among them, the flexible resin-coated copper foil 302 in the flexible board area 31 includes a resin layer C and an insulating layer P.

[0059] The rigid board area 32 includes the flexible substrate 301, the flexible resin-coated copper foil 302 on both opposite sides of the flexible substrate 301, and a prepreg 303 and a resin copper foil layer 304 on the surface of the flexible resin-coated copper foil 302. The flexible resin-coated copper foil 302 in the rigid board area 32 sequentially includes a resin layer C, an insulating layer P, and a copper foil layer T. Among them, the resin copper foil layer 304 further includes an insulating layer P and two copper foil layers T on both opposite sides of the insulating layer.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the flexible substrate 301 includes a resin layer C and copper foil layers T on both opposite surfaces of the resin layer C.

[0061] Among them, the flexible board area 31 is also provided with an opening 311 to remove the resin layer C and the insulating layer P of the flexible resin-coated copper foil 302 to expose the copper foil layer T on the surface of the flexible substrate 301, forming a connection pad.

[0062] In this embodiment, the rigid board area 32 is also provided with a via 321, and a copper layer is plated on the side wall of the via 321 to connect the inner copper foil layer and the outer copper foil layer.
