Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of flexible circuit board or rigid-flex board manufacturing, in particular to a manufacturing method of high-heat-dissipation aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flex board. BACKGROUND

[0002] For a kind of rigid-flex board applied to intelligent network connected car, low-altitude aircraft, not only require flexible installation characteristics, also need to have the ability of bearing multiple signal transmission, thus be designed as multilayer flexible plate structure, in addition, high heat dissipation performance is required, thus select aluminum-based layer as heat dissipation layer, and the overall structure forms aluminum-based rigid-flex board.

[0003] In prior art, aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flex board generally adopts similar manufacturing method of ordinary rigid-flex board, that is, multilayer flexible plate layer is manufactured, cover film is attached to the area of subsequent formed rigid-flex area, aluminum-based plate is manufactured, blind groove is manufactured to the edge of the area of aluminum-based plate needing to be uncovered, aluminum-based plate is laminated with multilayer flexible plate layer, then outer layer circuit pattern is manufactured and surface cover film is attached, and uncovering processing is carried out, to form aluminum-based rigid-flex board.

[0004] The disadvantages of prior art are:

[0005] The expansion and contraction rate of multilayer flexible plate layer is much larger than that of aluminum-based plate, and the thickness of aluminum-based plate is generally thick, if the pressing force is too large when laminating the two, it is easy to cause the problems of excessive expansion and contraction deviation and displacement, or the problems of deviation and displacement in the pressing process caused by the thickness of aluminum-based plate being too thick, and if the pressing force is too small, it is easy to cause the problems of poor pressing and delamination.

[0006] The method of manufacturing blind groove of aluminum-based plate, then laminating and then manufacturing outer layer circuit, after laminating, the multilayer flexible plate layer corresponding to the position of blind groove is easy to be concave, which is easy to cause short circuit or open circuit in the manufacturing of outer layer circuit pattern.

[0007] Since multilayer flexible plate layer is manufactured first and then laminated, the hole of multilayer flexible plate layer forms a through hole after electroplating, which is easy to cause problems such as through hole skew and glue overflow in the hole during laminating.

[0008] During uncovering processing, controlled depth milling plate is used, and it is difficult to control the depth, too large depth is easy to damage the surface of multilayer flexible plate layer, and too small depth is difficult to uncover due to insufficient milling of aluminum-based plate, and controlled depth milling plate needs to use milling cutter for transverse milling, which generates large vibration during processing, and is easy to cause delamination between aluminum-based plate and multilayer flexible plate layer and other problems.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a process flow diagram of the manufacturing method of the present invention.

[0043] The method for manufacturing a high heat dissipation aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flex plate according to embodiments of the present invention includes:Figure 1 The key process flow is shown, and the specific implementation steps are as follows.

[0044] Step S10:

[0045] The structure of the multi-layer rigid-flex combined board is split into a first copper layer and a multi-layer flexible board core layer. The aluminum substrate 110 and the first adhesive layer 120 are taken, and the first adhesive layer 120, the first copper layer 130 are attached to the surface of the aluminum substrate 110 in turn, and are pressed to form an aluminum-based copper-clad plate 10.

[0046] The present embodiment splits the original multi-layer flexible circuit board structure according to the number of copper layer circuits, independently manufactures one of the surface circuit layers on the aluminum substrate 110 to form the aluminum-based copper-clad plate 10, and processes the other layers through subsequent processes to form the flexible adhesive plate 30. The aluminum substrate 110 is first attached with a first adhesive layer 120 and a first copper layer 130, which facilitates the expansion and contraction matching of the aluminum-based copper-clad plate 10 and the flexible adhesive plate 30 formed in subsequent processing, and prevents the problems of offset and displacement during pressing.

[0047] Step S20:

[0048] The first copper layer 130 of the aluminum-based copper-clad plate 10 is processed to form a copper layer circuit pattern 1310, and an aluminum substrate through hole 210 is formed, which includes an aluminum substrate pin hole 2110. Then, an aluminum substrate windowed area 220 is formed, followed by brown oxidation to form a brown oxidation surface 1311. The whole forms a windowed aluminum substrate 20.

[0049] The first copper layer 130 is processed to form a copper layer circuit pattern 1310 according to the original design of the multi-layer flexible circuit board, which is the outer layer circuit pattern in contact with the aluminum substrate 110. That is, the outer layer circuit pattern of the multi-layer flexible circuit board is transferred to the aluminum substrate 110 for processing. The aluminum substrate windowed area 220 is the position of the flexure area of the finally formed aluminum-based rigid-flex combined board 60. The brown oxidation forms a more effective uniform rough surface on the copper surface, increases the friction and bonding force between the pressing layers, and can form better bonding force with other adhesive layers during subsequent pressing, and can prevent the problems of offset and displacement during pressing. The aluminum substrate pin hole 2110 is used for matching the pin 430A of the pressing mold 430 during subsequent pressing. It is worth noting that if the copper layer circuit pattern 1310 has a through hole with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.5mm on the surface, and the through hole needs to be connected to the through holes of other layers in subsequent processing, the aluminum substrate pin hole 2110 can be formed at the position of the through hole.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that after the aluminum substrate is windowed, each independent single aluminum substrate 230 to be laminated can be formed, and the flexible circuit board is processed in a panel manner during processing. The panel structure has a "tool pattern area", that is, an invalid area that needs to be removed finally. The position distribution of the tool pattern area corresponding to the aluminum substrate 110 and the position pattern that the single aluminum substrate 230 needs to be laminated are used to set the aluminum substrate connecting line 2310 between each single aluminum substrate 230, so that the single aluminum substrate 230 forms a whole, facilitating subsequent lamination and lamination processing.

[0051] Step S30:

[0052] The core layer 30A of the multilayer flexible board is manufactured according to the predetermined process, and the surface pattern layer 320 of the core layer 30A is formed. The core layer 30A is the other layers of the originally designed multilayer flexible circuit board except the first copper layer 130 transferred to the aluminum substrate 110, for example Figure 5 As shown in the formula, a double-sided flexible copper-clad plate is taken, including an insulating medium layer 330, and double-sided patterns are manufactured, which are the surface pattern layer 320 and the inner layer pattern layer 340, respectively.

[0053] The second adhesive layer 350 is taken, and the second adhesive layer 350 is attached to the core layer 30A. Since the core layer 30A needs to be laminated with the windowed aluminum substrate 20 subsequently, the second adhesive layer 350 plays a role of bonding and interlayer insulation, and the second adhesive layer 350 is equivalent to the insulating medium layer below the copper layer circuit pattern 1310 of the original multilayer flexible circuit board structure.

[0054] Subsequently, the first cover film is taken, the first cover film pattern is manufactured to form the first cover film layer 360, the first cover film layer 30B is attached to the surface of the second adhesive layer 340, the first cover film layer 360 corresponds to the aluminum substrate windowed area 220, and the size of the aluminum substrate windowed area 220 is smaller than the size of the first cover film layer 360 on one side.

[0055] The first cover film layer 360 is the cover film layer of the flexible area of the finally formed aluminum rigid-flex combination board. Therefore, the first cover film layer 360 is arranged corresponding to the aluminum substrate windowed area 220, and the first cover film layer 360 needs to be laminated under the windowed aluminum substrate 20. Therefore, the size of the aluminum substrate windowed area 220 needs to be smaller than the size of the first cover film layer 360 on one side. Generally, the size is smaller by 10 μm to 50 μm on one side. The overall processing forms a cover film flexible board.

[0056] A cover film flexible board through hole 310 is manufactured on the cover film flexible board, and the cover film flexible board through hole 310 includes a flexible core plate pin hole 3110. The flexible board pin hole 3110 is also used for matching the pin 430A of the laminating mold 430 during subsequent lamination, and the overall processing forms a flexible adhesive plate 30.

[0057] Step S40:

[0058] Take the second cover film, make the second cover film pattern, form the second cover film layer 30B, and the second cover film pattern includes the cover film pin hole 310B; the cover film pin hole 310B is also used for matching the pin of the pressing die 430 during subsequent pressing.

[0059] In one embodiment, take the third glue layer, and make the glue layer windowed area 310C corresponding to the first cover film layer 360, and make the glue layer through hole 3110C including the glue layer pin hole 3111C; and the whole forms the windowed glue layer 30C.

[0060] Because the second glue layer 350 already exists, the windowed glue layer 30C is an optional glue layer, but in order to prevent the problem of easy deviation and displacement of the flexible adhesive plate 30 and the windowed aluminum substrate 20 during subsequent pressing, the windowed glue layer 30C can better improve the interlayer bonding effect and glue filling effect during pressing.

[0061] Make the pressing die 430, and the pressing die 430 is provided with a pin 430A on the surface, and the pressing die 430 is arranged on the surface of the lower table 420 of the pressing equipment.

[0062] The second cover film layer 30B, the flexible adhesive plate 30, and the windowed aluminum substrate 20 are sequentially stacked from bottom to top to form a stacking structure 410, and are placed in the pressing equipment for whole plate pressing; further, the cover film pin hole, the flexible core plate pin hole, and the aluminum substrate pin hole are sequentially and correspondingly sleeved on the pin from bottom to top; further, if the windowed glue layer 30C is arranged, the windowed glue layer 30C is arranged between the flexible adhesive plate 30 and the windowed aluminum substrate 20, and the glue layer pin hole is arranged corresponding to the flexible core plate pin hole.

[0063] In the prior art, the aluminum substrate 110 is directly pressed with the multilayer flexible circuit board, the thickness of the aluminum substrate 110 is thicker than that of the multilayer flexible circuit board, and the difference in expansion and contraction is too large, so in the embodiment, the pressing die 430 with a pin is arranged on the lower table of the pressing equipment, and the corresponding pin hole is arranged on the stacking structure 410 during pressing; during pressing, the edges of each layer are fixed by using the traditional hot melting or rivet method, and then the pin holes of each layer structure are correspondingly sleeved into the pin 430A, and the pin holes are further used to fix each layer plate during the pressing process, so that a stable pressing process is formed, and the deviation and displacement problems during the pressing process are prevented.

[0064] It is worth noting that the height of the protrusion of the pin 430A from the surface of the pressing mold 430 is 5μm to 35μm smaller than the thickness of the pressing plate 50 formed after pressing, preferably 10μm or 15μm smaller.

[0065] In one embodiment, because release layers and covering layers need to be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the stacked structure 410 during the pressing process, it cannot be completely guaranteed that the pin 430A will not hit the release layer or covering layer, nor can it be completely guaranteed that the pin 430A will be flush with the thickness of the pressing plate 50. Therefore, a pre-pressing device can be used for pre-pressing, and the pressing mold 430 is placed on the pre-pressing device. Pre-pressing generally uses a lower temperature, shorter time, and lower pressure than the formal pressing to form a pre-pressed state for each layer before placing it into the pressing device for formal pressing. For example, pre-pressing uses a temperature of 130°C to 150°C and a pressure of 10 kg / cm². 2 Up to 20kg / cm 2 Pre-compression is performed under pressure for 60 to 90 seconds, followed by formal compression at a temperature of 160°C to 180°C and a pressure of 15 kg / cm². 2 Up to 25kg / cm 2 The pressure and time of 7 to 15 minutes are used to quickly press the flexible circuit board using a rapid pressing device.

[0066] For the upper platform 440 of the pressing equipment, an airbag 450 is made. The airbag 450 is a structure with air inside a sealed plastic layer. The airbag 450 is set on the upper platform 440 of the pressing equipment.

[0067] The airbag 450 in this embodiment has a flat structure with a thickness of 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm. The airbag 450 can be made of PP, PE, PET, or PTFE, with PTFE being the preferred material. The airbag is inflated in an unsaturated state and can be fixed to the upper table 440 of the pressing equipment by adhesive or edge nailing. Since the pressing layout structure 40 has an aluminum substrate window area 220 and is oriented upwards, a layout structure with a good upper surface for covering is required for covering. The airbag 450 structure can effectively buffer the covering and improve the flatness of the aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flexible board pressing.

[0068] It is worth noting that a first release layer 4310, a covering layer 4320, and a second release layer 4330 are sequentially laid on the pressing mold 430. The release layer is fitted onto the corresponding pin 430A to cover and release the pin. A third release layer 4340 is laid on the surface of the airbag 450 to release the airbag.

[0069] After the above layout, a pressed layout structure 40 is formed.

[0070] In one embodiment, the pressing device is a rigid plate press; the parameters of the whole plate pressing are as follows: the temperature rising rate is 2-6°C / min, the highest temperature is 160-180°C, the pressure is 15-25 kg / cm 2 2 and the temperature falling rate is 10-20°C / min; if better interlayer bonding effect and better pressing stability are needed, the rigid plate press can be used for pressing.

[0071] After pressing, the whole forms a pressed plate 50.

[0072] Step S50:

[0073] Optionally, first, the pressed plate 50 is drilled to form a trimming hole 510, and the drilling is performed according to the drilling pattern of the aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flex combined plate.

[0074] Here, the drilling is trimming drilling, because after pressing, there may be problems such as uneven inner wall of the hole, and by trimming the hole shape, it is regular, which is convenient for subsequent copper plating hole processing.

[0075] After drilling, laser ablation, plasma treatment and alkali washing treatment are sequentially performed; the laser ablation is performed on the stepped position of the aluminum substrate window area 220 and the first cover film layer 360.

[0076] Because after pressing, the stepped position of the first cover film layer 360 may produce overflow 520, the overflowed glue is burned off by laser ablation, and after laser ablation, carbon black impurities will appear, and after trimming drilling, there are drilling dirt impurities, so by plasma treatment and alkali washing treatment, the carbon black impurities and drilling dirt impurities can be effectively removed.

[0077] Then, the pressed plate 50 is subjected to electroplating processing to form an electroplated copper layer 610, and back drilling processing is performed to form a back drilling hole 620, and the back drilling processing is performed on the aluminum substrate through hole 210, and optionally, the depth of the back drilling hole 620 is 5-50 μm larger than the depth of the aluminum substrate through hole 210, thereby forming the aluminum-based multilayer rigid-flex combined plate 60.

[0078] ​Since the flexible adhesive plate 30 is first made with the surface pattern layer 320, and then the second cover film layer 30B is attached by pressing, a multilayer flexible circuit layer structure is formed, but the layers of the multilayer need to be connected through the through hole, so it also needs electroplating processing. The present embodiment places electroplating after the processing of the surface pattern layer 320 and the processing of the second cover film layer 30B, effectively preventing the original processing process of first pressing between the multilayer, then drilling and electroplating through holes, and then making the outer circuit pattern, which is prone to surface depression, and further causes the problem of short circuit or open circuit of the circuit pattern.

[0079] After electroplating, the inner wall of the aluminum substrate via hole 210 of the aluminum substrate 110 is also electroplated with copper. Through the processing of back drilling, the copper on the inner wall of the aluminum substrate via hole 210 is effectively removed, preventing the problem of short circuit.

[0080] It is worth noting that due to the precision of the flexible circuit board in actual design and processing process, the actual structure diagram and the thickness of each layer, the line width and other dimensions are all in microns, for example, the thickness of each layer is generally 5-50 microns, and the aluminum substrate 110 is generally 0.1-3.0 mm. If the drawings in the specification are made according to the actual scale, there will be a problem of unclear illustration. Therefore, in order to more clearly represent the implementation process of the manufacturing method, the drawings of the present embodiment are all enlarged schematic diagrams of the technical features, which do not represent the size of the actual structure diagram, nor represent the enlarged diagram of the actual structure diagram in the same proportion.

[0081] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
