[0002] As the communication electronics field gradually develops towards high frequency and high speed of signals, higher requirements are put forward for the low loss transmission of high frequency and high speed signals and impedance continuity of signal lines in PCB. In high-speed products, it is hoped that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor of materials will become lower and lower, but no matter how the material formula is improved, it is impossible to reduce the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor of materials infinitely. Therefore, in 112G and 224G high-speed PCB applications, the reduction of dielectric loss has encountered a bottleneck.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0053] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a cavity-containing PCB provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is along Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the A-A' section. Figure 1 and Figure 2The cavity-containing PCB includes a top core board 10, a bottom core board 20 and at least one middle core board 30, and the top core board 10, the bottom core board 20 and the middle core board 30 are bonded and fixed by a prepreg 40. The top core board 10 includes a first receiving hole 11; the bottom core board includes a second receiving hole 21; the cavity-containing PCB also includes a tripod column 50; the tripod column 50 passes through the first receiving hole 11, the second receiving hole 21, and the cavity 80 of the cavity-containing PCB.

[0054] Specifically, the hollow column 60 of the tripod column 50 can enter the cavity 80 through the first accommodating hole 11 and / or the second accommodating hole 21, and the hollow column 60 can be used as a channel connecting the top core board 10 and the bottom core board 20, and the copper column 06 can be formed by electroplating in the channel. The copper column 06 is combined with the copper layer 101 of the top core board 10 and the copper layer 201 of the bottom core board 20 into a whole, and the copper column 06 can be connected and fixed in the cavity of the cavity-containing PCB, and the copper column 06 can also be prevented from falling. The copper column 06 has a certain rigidity and can well support and fix the cavity 80.

[0055] For example, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a signal line 110 is arranged inside the cavity 80, and the signal line 110 can transmit high-frequency and high-speed signals.

The copper column can also play a certain shielding role, improve the signal anti-crosstalk ability between the signal lines, and is conducive to the transmission of the signal in the cavity, thereby improving the integrity of the signal; on the other hand, the top core board and the bottom core board can be pulled. When the cavity expands due to heat, the tripod column with the copper column inside can play a pulling role to ensure that the cavity is heat-resistant and reliable.
