[0055] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a pillar type copper platform circuit board, comprising:
[0057] Step 11, providing a substrate and a copper base;
[0058] Step 12, pre-treating the substrate to obtain a substrate with circuits;
[0059] Step 13, performing milling processing on the copper base to obtain a plurality of copper pillars;
[0060] Step 14, performing a lamination process on the substrate with circuits and the plurality of copper pillars to obtain a substrate with a plurality of copper pillars;
[0061] Step 15, performing wire drawing and electroplating treatment on the substrate with multiple copper pillars to obtain a pillar-type copper platform circuit board.
[0062] In this example, two key materials are first prepared: substrate and copper base. The substrate is the basic material for manufacturing circuit boards, and has good insulation performance and mechanical strength. Common substrate materials include epoxy resin, glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin (FR-4), etc. The copper base is the raw material for the subsequent formation of multiple copper columns, and exists in the form of copper blocks.
[0063] Pre-processing the substrate to obtain a substrate with circuits; wherein the pre-processing process includes multiple sub-steps, aiming to make the substrate surface suitable for subsequent circuit production, including cutting the substrate to obtain a substrate of a preset size; and then performing copper reduction, drilling and other processing processes to obtain a substrate with circuits;
[0064] The copper base is milled to obtain a plurality of copper pillars; specifically, the copper base is precisely milled using precision processing equipment such as a CNC milling machine or a laser cutting machine, and the copper base is cut into a plurality of copper pillars with specific shapes and sizes according to design requirements. These copper pillars will serve as pillars for subsequent connection with the substrate to support and connect different parts of the circuit. The processing accuracy must be strictly controlled during the milling process to ensure that the size, shape and position of the copper pillars meet the design requirements;
[0065] The substrate with the circuit and the multiple copper pillars are subjected to a lamination process to obtain a substrate with multiple copper pillars; specifically, the substrate with the circuit is first placed on a lower mold of a laminating machine, and then multiple copper pillars are placed on the substrate according to a predetermined layout, and then a protective film or an insulating layer is covered over the copper pillars and the substrate to prevent the copper pillars and the circuit from being damaged during subsequent processing; the laminating machine is started to apply a certain pressure and temperature to the substrate, the copper pillars and the protective film to tightly combine them together; after the lamination is completed, the excess protective film is removed to obtain a substrate with multiple copper pillars;
[0066] The substrate with multiple copper pillars is subjected to wire drawing and electroplating treatment to obtain a pillar-type copper platform circuit board; specifically, the substrate with multiple copper pillars is subjected to wire drawing treatment to achieve the cleaning of the substrate, glue overflow and leveling; then the substrate with multiple copper pillars is placed in an electroplating tank, and a layer of metal is deposited on the surface of the copper pillars and the substrate by electrolysis; during the electroplating process, by controlling parameters such as current density, electroplating time and composition of the electroplating solution, a metal coating with a specific texture and thickness can be formed on the surface of the copper pillars and the substrate; after the electroplating is completed, the circuit is etched, solder mask text is processed, gold is immersion, and drilling depth is controlled to obtain a pillar-type copper platform circuit board.
[0067] The technical solution of the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention improves the surface flatness of the pillar-type copper table plate, and effectively avoids scratches and damages on the surface of the product.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides that step 12 may include:
[0069] Step 121, cutting the substrate according to a first preset cutting parameter to obtain a cut substrate;
[0070] Step 122, performing copper reduction processing on the substrate after cutting according to preset copper reduction parameters to obtain a substrate after copper reduction;
[0071] Step 123, drilling the copper-reduced substrate to obtain a drilled substrate;
[0072] Step 124, performing through-hole electroplating processing on the drilled substrate to obtain a substrate with through-hole electroplating;
[0073] Step 125, performing secondary processing on the substrate with the through-holes plated thereon to obtain a substrate with circuits.
[0074] In this embodiment, firstly, it is necessary to determine the first preset cutting parameters, including the cutting path, cutting size, etc.; the selection of the first preset cutting parameters depends on the material, thickness, required dimensional accuracy and subsequent processing requirements of the substrate; a cutting device (such as a laser cutting machine, a mechanical cutting machine, etc.) is used to accurately cut the substrate according to the preset parameters, and the cutting quality needs to be strictly controlled during the cutting process to ensure that the cutting edge is flat and burr-free, and the dimensional accuracy meets the design requirements; after the cutting is completed, a substrate after cutting is obtained, that is, a substrate that has been cut according to a predetermined size and shape;
[0075] Copper reduction treatment is usually used to adjust the thickness of the copper layer on the substrate to meet the requirements of subsequent processing or product performance. First, the preset copper reduction parameters are determined, including the copper reduction rate, copper reduction time, the composition and concentration of the copper reduction solution, etc. Then, the cut substrate is placed in the copper reduction equipment, and the copper layer on the substrate is subjected to copper reduction treatment according to the preset parameters by chemical etching or electrolytic etching. During the copper reduction process, the uniformity and depth of the copper reduction need to be strictly controlled to avoid over-reduction or under-reduction. After the copper reduction is completed, a copper-reduced substrate is obtained, that is, a substrate whose copper layer thickness has been adjusted to a predetermined range.
[0076] The purpose of drilling is to form through holes on the substrate that connect different layers of circuits. In this step, special drilling equipment, such as laser drilling machines, mechanical drilling machines, etc., are used to drill holes in the copper-reduced substrate. During the drilling process, the position, diameter and depth of the holes need to be precisely controlled to ensure that the position accuracy and size accuracy of the through holes meet the design requirements. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid damage to the substrate caused by burrs and debris generated during the drilling process. After the drilling is completed, the drilled substrate is obtained, that is, the substrate with through holes drilled according to the predetermined position and size.
[0077] The purpose of electroplating through-hole processing is to deposit a layer of conductive metal (usually copper) on the inner wall of the through-hole formed after drilling, so as to achieve electrical connection between different layers of circuits. In this step, the substrate after drilling is first placed in the electroplating tank, and then the electroplating solution is introduced and current is applied to reduce and deposit the copper ions in the electroplating solution on the inner wall of the through-hole to form a copper layer. During the electroplating process, it is necessary to control the composition, concentration, temperature and current density of the electroplating solution to ensure that the uniformity and thickness of the electroplated layer meet the design requirements. After the electroplating is completed, the substrate after electroplating through-hole is obtained after cleaning and drying, that is, the substrate with the inner wall of the through-hole plated with a copper layer.
[0078] The substrate with the plated through holes is subjected to secondary processing to obtain a substrate with circuits; specifically, the substrate with the plated through holes is first subjected to whole-board electroplating processing to obtain a whole-board plated substrate, that is, the substrate with the plated through holes is placed in an electroplating tank for whole-board electroplating processing. The purpose of whole-board electroplating is to uniformly deposit a layer of copper or other conductive metal on the entire surface of the substrate (including the inside and surface of the through holes); this can not only increase the conductivity of the substrate, but also provide sufficient metal layer thickness for subsequent processing; during the electroplating process, it is necessary to control parameters such as the composition, temperature, current density and electroplating time of the electroplating solution to ensure that the uniformity and thickness of the electroplated layer meet the design requirements; after the electroplating is completed, the substrate surface and the inside of the through holes will be covered with a uniform metal layer to form a whole-board plated substrate;
[0079] The plugging treatment is performed on the substrate after the whole plate electroplating to obtain a plugged substrate; the plugging treatment is to fill and cure the through holes that do not need subsequent connection on the substrate after the whole plate electroplating with non-conductive materials, such as resin, ink, etc., to prevent the plating solution or etching solution from entering the through holes during the subsequent processing; this step usually uses special plugging equipment or processes to accurately fill the plugging material into the through holes and cure it by heating or ultraviolet irradiation; after the plugging is completed, the plugged substrate is obtained, and the through hole part of these substrates is effectively closed, which provides convenience for subsequent processing;
[0080] The plugged substrate is subjected to drilling and through-hole electroplating to obtain a substrate after drilling and through-hole electroplating. Although through-hole electroplating has been performed before, the plugged substrate needs to be subjected to additional drilling in this step to form through-holes for inserting electrical components. After drilling is completed, through-hole electroplating is performed again to ensure that the newly formed through-hole is also covered with a conductive metal layer. This step is similar to the previous through-hole electroplating, but the electroplating parameters also need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the newly formed through-hole. After completion, a substrate after drilling and through-hole electroplating is obtained.
[0081] According to the preset copper-cutting parameters, the substrate after the drilling and electroplating through-hole processing is subjected to copper-cutting treatment to obtain the copper-cutting substrate; specifically, the copper-cutting treatment is a process of removing part of the copper layer on the surface of the substrate by chemical or mechanical methods; in this step, according to the preset copper-cutting parameters, the position of the preset copper column is subjected to copper-cutting treatment, and the copper-cutting is designed according to the copper column diameter compensation of 0.2mm to prevent short circuit;
[0082] The copper-cut substrate is subjected to pattern electroplating treatment to obtain a pattern-plated substrate; specifically, the pattern electroplating treatment is a process of depositing a conductive metal on a specific area on the surface of the substrate; in this step, a photoresist pattern is first formed on the surface of the substrate using photolithography technology, and the pattern defines the area to be electroplated; then the substrate is placed in an electroplating tank, and metal copper is deposited at the opening of the photoresist pattern by electroplating; after the electroplating is completed, the photoresist pattern is removed to obtain a pattern-plated substrate; the surface of these substrates is covered with a conductive metal layer only in a specific area, forming a clear circuit pattern;
[0083] The substrate after the pattern electroplating is etched to obtain a substrate with circuits. Specifically, the etching process is a process of removing the unnecessary copper layer on the surface of the substrate by chemical etching. In this step, the substrate after the pattern electroplating is etched with an etching liquid. The etching liquid selectively reacts with the unprotected copper layer to dissolve and remove it. The photoresist or other protective materials cover the copper layer that needs to be retained to prevent it from being corroded by the etching liquid. After the etching is completed, the protective material is removed to obtain a substrate with circuits. The surface of these substrates forms a precise circuit pattern, which provides a basis for subsequent assembly and testing.
[0084] In an optional embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides that step 13 may include:
[0085] Step 131, cutting the copper base according to the second preset cutting parameter to obtain a cut copper base;
[0086] Step 132, performing milling processing on the cut copper base according to preset milling parameters to obtain a plurality of milled copper columns;
[0087] Step 133 , performing browning treatment on the plurality of copper pillars after milling to obtain a plurality of copper pillars.
[0088] In this embodiment, the copper base is cut according to the second preset cutting parameters, including the cutting path, the cutting size, etc., to obtain the copper base after cutting; wherein the main purpose of this step is to cut the original copper base material (copper plate or copper block) according to the specific size and shape requirements for subsequent processing; the copper base material is accurately placed on the workbench of the cutting equipment, and is firmly fixed by a clamp or other fixing device to prevent movement or offset during the cutting process; the cutting equipment is started, and cutting is performed according to the preset cutting parameters; during the cutting process, the equipment automatically or manually moves according to the set path, and the cutting blade cuts the copper base at a certain speed and depth; after the cutting is completed, the copper base after cutting that meets the subsequent processing requirements is obtained;
[0089] According to preset milling parameters, the copper base after cutting is milled to obtain a plurality of copper pillars after milling; the purpose of this step is to further process the copper base after cutting into a plurality of copper pillars of specific shapes and sizes; the copper base after cutting is placed on the workbench of the milling machine and fixed with a clamp; the position and angle of the copper base are ensured to be accurate so as to perform milling according to the design requirements; milling operation: start the milling machine and perform milling according to preset milling parameters; during the milling process, the milling cutter will cut the copper base according to the set path and depth, and gradually process it into a plurality of copper pillars; after the milling is completed, the copper pillars are removed from the copper base by a separation operation;
[0090] The multiple copper pillars after milling are subjected to browning treatment to obtain multiple copper pillars; wherein, the browning treatment is a surface treatment technology aimed at improving the corrosion resistance and adhesion of the copper pillars; before the browning treatment, the copper pillars need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities such as oil stains and oxides on the surface; the cleaning methods include solvent cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, etc.; the cleaned copper pillars are immersed in the browning liquid and soaked for a predetermined time and temperature; the chemical components in the browning liquid will react with the surface of the copper pillar to form a dense oxide film; after the treatment is completed, the copper pillars are taken out of the browning liquid and rinsed with water; the copper pillars after the browning treatment are placed in a ventilated and dry place for natural drying or dried in an oven; after drying, check whether the surface of the copper pillar is evenly covered with a layer of brown oxide film, and whether there are defects such as cracks and shedding.

[0094] Step 143 , performing a lamination process on the browned substrate and the plurality of copper pillars to obtain a substrate with a plurality of copper pillars.
[0095] In this embodiment, firstly, a CNC drilling machine or a laser drilling machine is used to drill holes in the substrate according to the set parameters; during the drilling process, the stability and accuracy of the equipment need to be maintained to avoid deviation or breakage of the drill bit, which may lead to inaccurate hole position or damage to the substrate; after the drilling is completed, the drill cuttings and impurities on the substrate are cleaned; then, the quality of the drilled hole is checked, including whether the diameter, depth, and position of the hole meet the design requirements, and whether the hole wall is smooth and undamaged; the diameter of the drilled hole is 0.09 mm to 0.11 mm larger than the diameter of the copper column;
[0096] Prepare an appropriate amount of browning liquid according to the process requirements; the browning liquid is usually prepared from acidic or alkaline chemicals, which can react chemically with the metal on the surface of the substrate to form a dense oxide film; immerse the cleaned substrate in the browning liquid and soak it for a predetermined time and temperature; the chemical components in the browning liquid will react with the metal on the surface of the substrate to form a brown oxide film; during the treatment process, it is necessary to control the immersion time and temperature to avoid excessive browning resulting in degradation of substrate performance; after the browning treatment is completed, take the substrate out of the browning liquid and rinse it with deionized water or purified water; then place the substrate in a ventilated and dry place for natural drying or use an oven for drying;
[0097] Place the prepared copper pillars one by one into the drilled holes on the substrate; during the placement process, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the copper pillars is accurate and fits tightly with the drilled holes; use a press to press the substrate; during the pressing process, a certain pressure and temperature are applied to firmly fix the copper pillars on the substrate; at the same time, pressing can also eliminate the gaps and bubbles between the substrate and the copper pillars, and improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure; after pressing is completed, the substrate with multiple copper pillars is inspected; the inspection content includes whether the position of the copper pillars is accurate, whether the combination with the substrate is firm, and whether the surface is flat and defect-free.
