Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of circuit board processing, and in particular to a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment degree between any layers. Background Art
[0002] In today's rapidly developing technological era, the field of electronic technology is undergoing unprecedented changes. As electronic products continue to develop towards miniaturization and high performance, the technical requirements of printed circuit boards (PCBs), as the core components of electronic products, are also increasing. In PCB manufacturing, high-layer boards are more and more widely used. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of technology, the number of layers of products has continued to increase, and the spacing from holes to copper conductors has become smaller and smaller. This trend has brought many challenges, especially the alignment requirements for high-layer boards have become more and more stringent. High-layer boards play a vital role in electronic devices. They carry various electronic components and realize circuit connection and signal transmission. In order to ensure the reliability of the product, accurate inter-layer alignment is one of the key factors. If the inter-layer alignment deviates, it may cause poor circuit connection, blocked signal transmission, and even affect the entire electronic device. At present, for some high-layer boards with more than 16L layers, the traditional concentric circle coupon method has gradually revealed its limitations in determining the alignment between layers. The traditional concentric circle coupon mainly determines the alignment between layers by measuring the relative positions of the concentric circle patterns on different layers. However, with the increase in the number of layers and the improvement of design requirements, this method can no longer comprehensively and effectively determine whether the alignment between any layers meets the design requirements. On the one hand, the traditional method can only perform limited alignment detection on specific layers and cannot cover all interlayer combinations. For high-layer boards, the alignment between any two layers may affect the quality and performance of the product, and the traditional concentric circle coupon is difficult to meet the monitoring needs for the alignment between any layers. On the other hand, as the spacing from the hole to the copper conductor decreases, the accuracy requirements for alignment are higher.Traditional methods may not be able to accurately detect tiny alignment deviations, and thus fail to discover potential quality problems in a timely manner. In the production process of high-layer boards, the alignment deviation of any layer may be magnified in subsequent manufacturing links, ultimately leading to an increase in product defect rates. In order to meet these challenges and meet the market's increasingly stringent quality requirements for high-layer boards, it is urgent to design a new inter-layer alignment coupon. This new coupon should be able to effectively monitor the alignment between any layers and provide accurate quality feedback for the production process. By real-time monitoring of inter-layer alignment, the production process can be adjusted in a timely manner to improve the yield and reliability of the product. The new inter-layer alignment coupon can Adopt more advanced measurement technology and design concepts. For example, high-precision optical detection equipment can be used in combination with digital image processing technology to achieve accurate measurement of interlayer alignment. At the same time, by optimizing the design structure of Coupon, it can better adapt to the complex structure and tight spacing requirements of high-layer boards. In short, under the background of rapid development of electronic technology, the requirements for interlayer alignment of high-layer boards are constantly increasing. The traditional concentric circle Coupon method can no longer meet the demand. Designing a new interlayer alignment Coupon is of great significance to improving product yield and reliability. This is not only a challenge faced by the PCB manufacturing industry, but also an opportunity to promote technological progress in the industry.
[0003] The currently commonly used concentric circle coupon design can only monitor whether adjacent layers are offset. When the number of layers is large, it is impossible to effectively monitor the alignment between any layers.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between arbitrary layers provided by the present invention; Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing an example of Symbol size for a circuit board printing method for monitoring alignment between arbitrary layers provided by the present invention; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the arrangement of a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between any layers provided by the present invention; Figure 4 Coupon designs of different layers for a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between any layers provided by the present invention; Figure 5 The present invention provides a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between any layers, with the four corners of the working board symmetrically arranged. A circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between any layers, comprising the following steps: S1: by designing corresponding coupons on the even layers of different core boards, the coupons are set by a spray paint device, and the alignment between any layers of the multilayer board can be monitored by X-Ray, as follows Figure 1 As shown;
[0036] S2: Take the Symbol size as an example: the outer diameter of the ring a: 0.8mm, the inner diameter of the ring b: 0.5mm, the diameter of the circle PAD c: 0.4mm; the center distance between adjacent Symbols d: 1.0mm, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown;
[0037] S3: Coupon designs for different levels are as follows Figure 4 As shown, the hot-melt stacking of different core panels is shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown in the last figure, the alignment between any two layers can be determined by the overlap of the circular PADs after the two layers are superimposed;
[0038] S4: Observe the symmetrical layout of the four corners of the work board, such as Figure 5 shown.
[0039] The core panels of different layers can also be stacked by riveting.
[0040] Symbol size can be changed. As a measurement reference, take the even-numbered layers as an example. Figure 4 The first picture shows the display of the second layer. The even numbers are set to 2, 4, 6, etc. The first even-numbered picture is the second stacked circuit board. A point is sprayed on the board with horizontal and vertical coordinates of 1, 1. The second even-numbered picture is the fourth stacked circuit board. Two points are sprayed on the board with horizontal and vertical coordinates of 2, 2. When the first, second and third circuit boards are stacked, the point in the middle of the connecting hole is intuitively observed, and the distance between the points can be measured to determine whether there is an offset.
[0041] The working principle of a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between any layers provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0042] During operation, firstly, because layer deviation mainly occurs between different core boards, the probability of layer deviation between the same core boards is small. Therefore, in order to reduce the size of the overall coupon and facilitate monitoring, coupon graphics are only designed on the even-numbered layers (or odd-numbered layers, whichever is 1) of different core boards;
[0043] Note 2: Numbers and letters represent corresponding levels; letter A represents 10, B represents 12, C represents 14, D represents 16, E represents 18, F represents 20, and so on.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the parameters such as the Symbol size are illustrated as follows: the outer diameter of the ring a: 0.8mm, the inner diameter of the ring b: 0.5mm, the diameter of the circle PAD c: 0.4mm; the center distance between adjacent Symbols d: 1.0mm.
[0045] The coupon designs for different levels are as follows Figure 4 As shown, the hot-melt or riveted stacking of core panels of different layers is shown in the last figure above. The alignment between the two layers can be determined by the overlap between the circular PADs or circles after any two layers are stacked.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, taking the even-numbered layers as an example, Figure 4The first picture shows the display of the second layer. The even numbers are set to 2, 4, 6, etc. The first even-numbered picture is the second stacked circuit board. A point is sprayed on the board with horizontal and vertical coordinates of 1, 1. The second even-numbered picture is the fourth stacked circuit board. Two points are sprayed on the board with horizontal and vertical coordinates of 2, 2. When the first, second and third circuit boards are stacked, the point in the middle of the connecting hole is intuitively observed, and the distance between the points can be measured to determine whether there is an offset.
