Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of circuit board processing, and in particular to a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment degree between arbitrary 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 for 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 between holes and copper conductors has become smaller and smaller. This trend has brought many challenges, especially the alignment requirements for high-layer boards have become increasingly stringent. High-layer boards play a vital role in electronic equipment. They carry various electronic components and realize circuit connection and signal transmission. In order to ensure product reliability, 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 performance and stability of the entire electronic equipment. At present, for some layers that exceed For high-layer 16L boards, the traditional concentric circle coupon method is gradually showing its limitations in determining interlayer alignment. Traditional concentric circle coupons primarily determine interlayer alignment by measuring the relative positions of concentric circle patterns on different layers. However, with the increase in the number of layers and rising design requirements, this method is no longer able to comprehensively and effectively determine whether the alignment between any two layers meets design requirements. On the one hand, traditional methods can only perform limited alignment testing on specific layers and cannot cover all interlayer combinations. For high-layer boards, the alignment between any two layers may affect product quality and performance, and traditional concentric circle coupons are unable to meet the monitoring requirements for any interlayer alignment. On the other hand, as the spacing between the hole and the copper conductor decreases, the requirement for alignment accuracy becomes even higher.Traditional methods may not be able to accurately detect tiny alignment deviations, and thus cannot 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 the 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 the 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 needs. 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 cannot effectively monitor the alignment between any layers.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[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 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 an arrangement of a circuit board printing method for monitoring alignment between arbitrary layers provided by the present invention; Figure 4 Coupon designs for different layers of a circuit board printing method for monitoring alignment between arbitrary layers provided by the present invention; Figure 5 The present invention provides a circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between arbitrary layers. The working board has a symmetrical layout at the four corners. A circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between arbitrary layers includes the following steps: S1: by designing corresponding coupons on the even layers of different core boards, the coupons are set by a paint spraying device, and the alignment between arbitrary layers of the multilayer board can be monitored by X-Ray, as follows Figure 1 As shown;
[0036] S2: Example of Symbol size: Ring outer diameter a: 0.8mm, Ring inner diameter b: 0.5mm, PAD diameter c: 0.4mm; Center distance d between adjacent Symbols: 1.0mm;
[0037] S3: Coupon design with different layers. After hot-melt stacking of core boards with different layers, the alignment between any two layers can be determined by the overlap of the circular PADs after stacking.
[0038] S4: Observe the symmetrical layout of the four corners of the work board.
[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. One point is sprayed on the board with the 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 the 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 visually observed, and the distance between the points can be measured to determine whether there is an offset.
[0041] The working principle of the circuit board printing method for monitoring the alignment between arbitrary layers provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0042] During operation, first of all, because layer deviation mainly occurs between different core boards, the probability of layer deviation between the same core boards is relatively small. Therefore, in order to reduce the size of the entire coupon and facilitate monitoring, coupon graphics are only designed on the even-numbered layers (or odd-numbered layers, whichever is greater) of different core boards;
[0043] Note 2: Numbers and letters represent corresponding levels; A stands for 10, B for 12, C for 14, D for 16, E for 18, F for 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 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. One point is sprayed on the board with the 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 the 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 visually observed, and the distance between the points can be measured to determine whether there is an offset.
