Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of high-speed printed circuit board manufacturing, and relates to a method for realizing specified hole copper thickening, in particular to a manufacturing method for a printed circuit board under the condition that the specified hole copper has special requirements, that is, the requirements of the hole copper are met without increasing the surface copper and additional copper thinning process. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing power of production devices, the requirements for heat dissipation and current flow of printed circuit boards are also increasing. The horizontal current flow can be realized by increasing the inner layer copper foil, such as using 20Z or 3OZ or more copper foil, but the vertical current flow can only be realized by thickening the electroplated hole copper.

[0003] At present, the existing methods for realizing hole copper thickening include: whole plate surface electroplating, reducing the surface copper by thinning the copper after electroplating to meet the surface copper requirement of etching circuit; multiple selective hole plating (normal windowing), realizing the hole copper thickening of specified holes by more than twice selective hole plating; and multiple selective hole plating (small windowing), realizing the hole copper thickening of specified holes by more than twice selective hole plating.

[0004] However, the existing technology still has the following problems: whole plate surface electroplating, in the case of meeting the requirements of specified hole copper, the surface copper is very thick, the operation difficulty of the copper thinning process is extremely great, and after the copper thinning process, the uniformity of the outer layer copper thickness is very poor, which seriously affects the etching operation of the subsequent process; multiple selective hole plating (normal windowing), the windowing bump stacking method of multiple selective hole plating leads to very thick bumps, and the operation difficulty of the subsequent polishing process is great, and there is a risk of polishing not off or polishing exposing the original; and multiple selective hole plating (small windowing), although this process does not have the problem of multiple selective hole plating windowing bumps, the second windowing process and the following windowing processes have great difficulty, and there are uncontrollable physical property risks at the hole position and many other problems. Therefore, it is urgent to design a method for realizing specified hole copper thickening to overcome the defects of the existing technology and meet the actual application requirements. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for realizing specified hole copper thickening.

[0028] (10) Hole plugging treatment: The hole plugging treatment specifically includes plugging the designated drill holes and general drill holes on the printed circuit board after the treatment in step (9) with plugging parts;

[0029] (11) Grinding treatment: The grinding treatment specifically includes grinding the bumps of the designated drilled holes on the printed circuit board after the treatment in step (10), wherein the bumps are the remaining bumps after the large window selective hole plating.

[0030] It should be noted that the first-level electroplating treatment in the present invention is the electroplating treatment, which performs degumming, chemical copper removal and electroplating processes on all drilled holes, including electroplating thin copper in the drilled holes for base electroplating; the first-level lamination treatment includes pressing dry film on the entire panel of the printed circuit board; the second-level electroplating treatment is to electroplate the specified drilled holes to the specified thickness according to the actual hole copper requirements; the first-level degumming treatment includes degumming the entire panel of the printed circuit board; the third-level electroplating treatment is to electroplate all drilled holes to the specified thickness according to the actual hole copper requirements; the second-level degumming includes degumming all the board surfaces of the printed circuit board again; the hole plugging treatment includes sealing all holes with materials such as resin; the grinding treatment is mainly used to grind the bumps left after the large window selective hole plating treatment.

[0031] It should be noted that the present invention combines the processing methods of performing primary electroplating, primary lamination, primary exposure and development, secondary electroplating, primary degumming, secondary lamination, secondary exposure and development, tertiary electroplating, secondary degumming, plugging and grinding on the drilled holes, which can make the copper thickness of the specified drilled holes more accurate while reducing the height of the bumps of the large windows and reducing the difficulty of grinding.

[0032] It should be noted that the present invention uses a processing technology that combines a first-level exposure and development process with a second-level exposure and development process, that is, adopts a reasonable arrangement of large and small window selective plating processes, which not only reduces the height of the bumps of the large window and reduces the difficulty of grinding, but also increases the copper thickness coating at the corner position, improves the reliability of the corner position, and achieves the purpose of thickening the copper of the specified hole.

[0033] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the diameter of the designated drill hole is 0.3 to 1 mm, for example, it can be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 mm, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values ​​within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0034] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (1), the thickness of the coating treated by the primary electroplating is 0.25 to 0.4 mil, for example, it can be 0.25 mil, 0.27 mil, 0.29 mil, 0.3 mil, 0.31 mil, 0.33 mil, 0.35 mil, 0.36 mil, 0.38 mil, 0.39 mil, 0.4 mil, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0035] The thickness of the plating layer of the primary electroplating treatment in the application is 0.25-0.4 mil, because in this thickness range, the hole breakage can be avoided and the surface copper is in a reasonable range, if not in this thickness range, the hole breakage or the surface copper is too high will be caused, which affects the subsequent process operation, because the copper thickness in the hole is less than 0.25 mil, there is a risk of being etched during the pre-treatment of the subsequent process micro-etching, which causes the hole breakage, and if the thickness in the hole is higher than 0.4 mil, due to the influence of the through-hole capability, the surface copper needs to be electroplated about 0.6 mil, which will cause the copper thickness to be too high and affect the subsequent process.

[0036] As a preferred technical solution of the application, in step (3), the opening value of the small opening selective plating hole is less than or equal to the diameter of the specified drilling hole, and the difference between the opening value of the small opening selective plating hole and the diameter of the specified drilling hole is 0-1.5 mil, for example, it can be 0 mil, 0.2 mil, 0.4 mil, 0.6 mil, 0.8 mil, 1 mil, 1.2 mil, 1.4 mil, 1.5 mil, etc., but it is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in this range are also applicable.

[0037] In the application, the opening value of the small opening selective plating hole is less than or equal to the diameter of the specified drilling hole, and the difference between the opening value of the small opening selective plating hole and the diameter of the specified drilling hole is 0-1.5 mil, because in this diameter difference range, the plating hole can be guaranteed without protrusions, and the plating quality of the plating hole can be guaranteed, if not in this diameter difference range, the plating hole will have too large protrusions and poor plating quality, etc., because when the diameter difference is less than 0 mil, the plating hole will have obvious protrusions at the hole opening, which cannot achieve the function of small window plating small protrusions, and when the difference is controlled to be greater than 1.5 mil, the specified diameter hole will be covered too much, which artificially reduces the hole diameter and increases the difficulty of plating the hole, affecting the plating quality.

[0038] As a preferred technical solution of the application, in step (4), the specified thickness is the specified thickness of the hole copper, and the specified thickness of the hole copper is 0.4-0.65 mm, for example, it can be 0.4 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.46 mm, 0.48 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.52 mm, 0.54 mm, 0.56 mm, 0.58 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.62 mm, 0.64 mm, 0.65 mm, etc., but it is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in this range are also applicable.

[0039] As a preferred technical solution of the application, in step (7), the opening value of the large opening selective plating hole is greater than the diameter of the specified drilling hole.

[0040] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the difference between the window value of the large window selective plated hole and the aperture of the designated drilled hole is 2 to 3.5 mil, for example, it can be 2mil, 2.2mil, 2.4mil, 2.6mil, 2.8mil, 3mil, 3.2mil, 3.4mil, 3.5mil, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0041] In the present invention, the window value of the large window selective plated hole is greater than the aperture of the specified drilled hole, and the difference between the window value of the large window selective plated hole and the aperture of the specified drilled hole is 2 to 3.5 mil. Generally, the difference here is 2.5 mil because within the aperture difference range, it can ensure that the convex point of the plated hole is not too large, and the dry film quality of the plated hole can be guaranteed, and the quality of the plated hole can be guaranteed. If it is not within the aperture difference range, it will lead to problems such as excessive convex points or poor lamination quality. This is because the difference value is greater than 3.5 mil, which will cause the convex point to be too large, affecting the post-process grinding process. If the difference value is less than 2 mil, the secondary lamination operation will become more difficult, and there is a risk of pressing the first convex point, affecting the operation efficiency.

[0042] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (8), the specified thickness is the final hole copper thickness, and the final hole copper thickness is 0.45-0.7 mm, for example, it can be 0.45 mm, 0.48 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.52 mm, 0.54 mm, 0.56 mm, 0.58 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.62 mm, 0.64 mm, 0.66 mm, 0.68 mm, 0.7 mm, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0043] It should be noted that the final hole copper thickness in the present invention refers to the hole copper thickness of the designated hole after all operations are completed. The thickness here is generally greater than or equal to the required specification of 0.05 mil.

[0044] It should be noted that the aperture of the general drill hole in the present invention is usually different from the aperture of the designated drill hole. The designated drill hole can be processed first through the first-level exposure and development treatment, and then the designated drill hole and the general drill hole can be processed through the second-level exposure and development treatment. Because the difference between the window value of the first-level exposure and development treatment and the aperture of the designated drill hole is small, it will not affect the subsequent processing of the designated drill hole. The difference between the window value of the second-level exposure and development treatment and the aperture of the designated drill hole is large. The bumps left over from the second-level exposure and development treatment can be removed in the subsequent processing, and it will not affect the processing of all holes.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] In the present application, by using the process of combining the first exposure development process and the second exposure development process, not only the height of the bump of the large window is reduced, the difficulty of polishing is reduced, but also the copper thickness of the corner position is increased, the reliability of the corner position is improved, and the purpose of thickening the copper of the specified hole is achieved.

[0121] Embodiment 5

[0127] Comparative Example 2

[0128] The comparative example provides a work method for realizing specified hole copper thickening, and the difference from the embodiment 1 is that only one exposure and development treatment (large windowing selective hole plating) is performed, and the other methods and conditions are the same as those in the embodiment 1.

[0129] Through the test on the hole copper thickness in the embodiment and the comparative example, the results are shown in the following table 1.

[0130] Table 1 Test of hole copper thickness in examples and comparative examples

[0131]

[0132] From the above table 1, it can be seen that:

[0133] By comparing the results of examples 1-3 and example 4, it can be seen that the hole copper test results in examples 1-3 are better than those in example 4, because the application limits the window value of small window selective plating and the aperture difference of specified drill hole 3 to be 0-1.5 mil, so that the hole copper thickness reaches the ideal value, and when the window difference value is greater than 1.5 mil, the plating quality of small window hole plating will be affected, which affects the final hole copper thickness.

[0134] By comparing the results of examples 1-3 and examples 5 and 6, it can be seen that the hole copper test results in examples 1-3 are better than those in examples 5 and 6, because the application limits the window value of large window selective plating and the aperture difference of specified drill hole 3 to be 2-3.5 mil, obviously, too large or too small aperture difference will affect the difficulty of hole plugging bump and secondary film pressing.

[0135] By comparing the results of examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the test results in examples 1-3 are better than those in comparative examples 1 and 2, because the application uses a combination of first and second exposure and development processes, that is, a reasonable ordering of large and small window selective plating processes, which not only reduces the bump height of large window, reduces the difficulty of grinding, but also increases the copper thickness of the corner position, improves the reliability of the corner position, and achieves the purpose of specified hole copper thickening.

[0136] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art, and all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present application.
