AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing buried copper plates have low bonding power due to the difference in temperature coefficient between the copper block and the fiberglass plate under high temperature conditions, which is prone to failure of the board. At the same time, the thickness of the copper block does not match the thickness of the substrate, resulting in a pressing loss and a poor bonding power.

Method used

The TG value is greater than 150 degrees combined with glass fiber substrate material to ensure thermal stability and increase binding force through small gap fit and pth hole distribution.

Benefits of technology

The connection strength between the glass fiber substrate and the copper block is improved, the stability of the substrate is enhanced, and the problems of insufficient bonding force and compressive loss at high temperatures are avoided.

[0002] At present, the buried copper plates on the market are mainly applied to high heat dissipation scenarios. There are significant differences in the temperature coefficients between the copper blocks and the glass fiber boards, which often result in low bonding force between them after high temperature, and problems such as board explosion failure. At the same time, when there are differences in height and pressure between the thickness of the copper block and the thickness of the substrate, it is easy to cause pressure loss during lamination and poor bonding force.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a substrate with a buried copper block thermoelectric separation structure and a manufacturing method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In the above substrate with a buried copper block thermoelectric separation structure, the reinforcing half holes are provided at intervals of 5 - 10mm, and the diameter is 0.5 - 0.8mm.

[0009] In the above substrate with a buried copper block thermoelectric separation structure, the diameter of the pth hole is 1 - 2mm, and the pth holes are distributed according to the center of gravity distribution points of the copper block outer shape space.

[0010] In the above substrate with a buried copper block thermoelectric separation structure, the thickness of the copper-free light board is 0.5 - 1mm.

[0011] A manufacturing method of a substrate with a buried copper block thermoelectric separation structure, comprising the following steps:

[0012] S1. Cut a double-sided copper clad laminate with a suitable thickness, drill positioning holes, and strengthen half-holes at the installation inner groove positions of the buried copper blocks. Perform pretreatment, including wet film coating, pre-baking, exposure, development, etching, stripping, and routing, where routing is performed corresponding to the positions of the copper blocks;

[0013] S2. Cut copper blocks. The thickness of the copper blocks is the same as that after lamination with the fiberglass board. Drill reference holes, coat wet film on both sides, pre-bake, expose, and develop. Perform controlled-depth etching of 0.10 mm without stripping. Laser cut the copper blocks based on the holes. To facilitate the copper blocks to pass through the brownification process, a small built-in concave connection position is reserved at the outer shape of the copper blocks for convenient board separation;

[0014] S3. Cut suitable prepregs, drill reference holes, and route the positions of the protruding parts of the copper blocks;

[0015] S4. Cut a suitable copper-free light board with a thickness controlled within 0.5 - 1 mm, route holes at the boss positions of the copper blocks, with the same size as the routed positions of the prepregs;

[0016] S5. Brownify the fiberglass substrate and the copper blocks. Place the separated brownified copper blocks in the routed positions of the fiberglass substrate, add prepregs with routed holes above and below, place copper foils above and below, align the copper foils above and below with the copper-free light board with routed holes, and then perform lamination;

The material of the glass fiber substrate is selected with a TG value greater than 150 degrees, effectively ensuring thermal stability. The outer shape of the copper block and the installation inner groove of the glass fiber substrate are in a small clearance fit, ensuring that there is a certain space for the resin in the prepreg to fully fill the space between them. At the same time, a reinforced half hole with a diameter of 0.5 - 0.8 mm is drilled at intervals of 5 - 10 mm at the forming line position of the glass fiber substrate corresponding to the installation inner groove, facilitating the resin in the prepreg to fully fill the device and effectively increasing the bonding force. At the same time, based on the design of the center of gravity distribution points of the outer shape space of the copper block on the inner and outer layers of the glass fiber substrate and the copper block, multiple PTH holes are set at appropriate positions at the junction of the two materials, playing a role similar to riveting and further increasing the installation bonding force. A certain depth of double-sided etching is performed on the edge of the copper block to form a stepped groove, enabling the inner side of the copper block to overlap with the hollowed prepreg, and forming a resin glass fiber coating up and down, enhancing the bonding force between the glass fiber substrate and the copper block. A reusable copper-free light board is configured on each of the upper and lower sides of the copper block and stacked on the upper and lower copper foils of the board to be laminated during lamination, ensuring that the lamination steel plate will not be lifted by the protruding part of the copper block higher than the glass fiber substrate, causing pressure loss, and ensuring the bonding force around the protruding part of the copper block, effectively improving the connection strength between the glass fiber substrate and the copper block and enhancing the use stability of the entire glass fiber substrate.
