Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of impedance circuit design, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a printed circuit board configured with an impedance circuit. Background Art
[0002] At present, for traditional printed circuit boards, the impedance control of the outer layer or the sub-outer layer of HDI is mainly based on the originally designed line width and line thickness, and then the appropriate prepreg is selected to press out the required dielectric layer thickness. However, during the lamination process of the printed circuit board, the dielectric layer thickness is more easily affected by factors such as the volume, weight, glue content of the glass fiber cloth used in the prepreg, and the error of the hot pressing process parameters, resulting in a certain range of thickness changes, that is, the thickness of the same dielectric layer is uneven.
[0003] In the traditional manufacturing process of printed circuit boards, suitable prepregs are often selected based on the thickness of the inner layer circuit and the residual copper rate, and then the required dielectric layer thickness is pressed. Then the thickness and width of the outer or sub-outer layer circuit are designed according to the pressed dielectric layer thickness, in order to complete the outer or sub-outer layer impedance circuit, and its impedance value can also be controlled within the design range. However, although this method can adjust the thickness of the dielectric layer that affects the impedance value by replacing prepregs of different specifications in the test or mass production stage to meet the impedance specifications. However, since the measurement of the dielectric layer thickness requires the use of slices, it is tantamount to destroying the printed circuit board, and it is difficult to measure the dielectric layer thickness in large quantities before making the outer or sub-outer layer impedance circuit, so the line impedance value can only be measured after the outer or sub-outer layer impedance circuit is completed. In the next mass production, the semi-cured sheet specifications are changed or the thickness and width of the outer or sub-outer layer circuit are adjusted according to the measured line impedance value.
[0004] In summary, it is difficult for the traditional printed circuit board manufacturing method to estimate the thickness of the dielectric layer that has an important influence on the impedance value of the outer or sub-outer impedance line before the outer or sub-outer impedance line electroplating process, and then to produce the printed circuit board, and thus it is difficult to make the impedance line thickness and impedance line width reach the design of the pre-corrected impedance line.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a printed circuit board configured with an impedance circuit, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the printed circuit board may include one or more inner-layer boards 300 with formed circuits, dielectric layers 200 between the inner-layer boards 300 and on the outer side of the inner-layer boards 300, and outermost copper foils 100. The dielectric layer 200 is formed by laminating a prepreg, and is used to bond the inner-layer board 300 and its outer copper foil 100, and to form a dielectric layer 200 with a controlled thickness between the inner-layer circuits adjacent to the outer copper foil 100 and the outer copper foil 100. One or more large copper surfaces 400 that are not connected to each other are arranged on the circuits of the inner-layer board 300 adjacent to the outer copper foil 100 through the dielectric layer 200, so as to form a capacitor with the outer copper foil 100, so as to measure one or more capacitance values.
[0081] In this embodiment, one or more holes are formed at appropriate positions on the outer copper foil 100 to penetrate the outer copper foil 100 and the dielectric layer 200, exposing one or more large copper surfaces 400 on the inner layer board 300. By probing each large copper surface 400 and the outer copper foil 100 on the inner layer board 300, the capacitance of one or more capacitors formed by the one or more large copper surfaces 400 on the inner layer board 300 and the outer copper foil 100 isolated by the dielectric layer 200 can be measured, and then the measured capacitance value and the area of each large copper surface 400 on the inner layer board 300 are used to infer the average thickness of the dielectric layer 200 in the area.
[0082] In this embodiment, the capacitance value of the capacitor formed by each unconnected large copper surface 400 of the inner layer board 300 and the outer copper foil 100 is measured. The average thickness of the dielectric layer 200 between the impedance line and the reference large copper surface 400 is calculated by using this capacitance value, and then the impedance line is corrected to obtain the thickness and width, and then the impedance line is manufactured according to the original printed circuit board manufacturing process.
[0083] It should be noted that, for a high density interconnect circuit board (HDIPCB) having blind holes and which may need to undergo multiple lamination processes, when one of its circuit layers has been arranged with one or more large copper surfaces 400, or one or more large copper surfaces 400 may be added, the one or more large copper surfaces 400 and the outer copper foil 100 may be made to form one or more capacitors in the same manner as the above-mentioned through-hole multilayer board, and the capacitance value may be measured and the average thickness of the dielectric layer 200 in the corresponding area may be inferred.
[0084] In this embodiment, after the thickness of the dielectric layer 200 inside the copper foil 100 is calculated or inferred, the width and thickness of the impedance line on the copper foil 100 can be appropriately corrected according to the impedance calculation formula. Only one type of thickness correction of the impedance line can be selected, and the width design of the impedance line can be based on the partition imaging size limit of the image transfer device, and the uneven thickness of the dielectric layer 200 corresponding to the measured capacitance value of each zone, and one or more line width designs can be used.
[0085] In this embodiment, for some lines, it is required to control the characteristic impedance value of the line, and the thickness of the dielectric layer 200 between the outer layer or the sub-outer layer line and the corresponding adjacent large copper surface 400 is regarded as a flat plate capacitor. The outer copper foil 100 and the dielectric layer 200 are penetrated at an appropriate position of the outer layer to expose the inner layer 300, and the capacitance is measured according to the flat plate capacitor formula: C=ε×ε0×S / d (where C is capacitance, unit F, ε is dielectric constant, ε0 is vacuum dielectric constant 8.86 10 -12F / m, S is the area in square meters, D is the distance in meters) to estimate the thickness of the dielectric layer 200, and then design the matching line copper thickness and line width based on the characteristic impedance formula.
[0086] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
