[0003] Traditional buried copper block boards generally use copper substrates to act as copper blocks for embedding. The outer layer of the buried copper block has different networks and there is a thermal conductivity requirement of 1-10W between the copper block. After production, the connection between the copper substrate and FR4 is filled with PP glue. When the copper is deposited at a high temperature of 80 degrees, the PP glue has a certain shrinkage, resulting in copper deposition at the joints, causing a short circuit between the inner and outer layers at the joints, resulting in a short circuit between different networks on the outer layer, resulting in a high defect rate.

[0040] Step 1: Cutting: Position and cut the CCL materials into production sizes with consistent sizes to ensure the consistency and accuracy of subsequent processing;
[0041] Step 2, inner layer: Use micro-etching solution to clean the board surface, remove impurities and oxide layer, create good conditions for subsequent photosensitive ink coverage and polymerization reaction, cover with photosensitive ink for drying and curing, use exposure machine to irradiate with ultraviolet light to make it polymerize, and compensate for the expansion and contraction of the board in the polymerization reaction. After exposure, use DES line for development, etching, and film removal to realize the required graphics and gong groove positioning hole ring required for the next process on the copper clad board, which is convenient for subsequent equipment identification and prepares for gong groove and other processes;
[0042] Among them, the exposure energy is selected as 5-7 grids, and the expansion and shrinkage compensation is carried out according to different board thickness and copper thickness. The conventional X compensation is 3 / 10000, and the Y compensation is 5 / 10000. The expansion and shrinkage method is to shrink evenly from the four sides of the board to the center of the board;

[0045] 32) The CNC forming machine performs precision grooving operations on the sheet according to a pre-set program;
[0046] 33) After the gong groove is processed, clean the surface;
[0047] Step 4: Pressing: After all layers of inner boards are browned, fused and riveted, use the positioning holes to form grooves in the areas where copper blocks need to be buried, and then place the copper blocks in the grooves. When pre-pressing, place a whole sheet of thermal conductive glue and copper foil on one side of different networks, and then press them with a press to successfully bury the copper blocks.
[0048] Step 5: Drill the sheet material according to the drilling requirements;
[0049] Step 6: Copper deposition and electroplating: Use chemical CuCL2 solution to deposit 1-3um copper on the entire board and in the holes, providing a good foundation for the electroplating process, so that the subsequent electroplated copper can adhere better and improve the conductivity of the product. Then, copper electroplating is performed on the surface of the board to increase the copper thickness on the board surface and in the holes;
[0050] The copper electroplating process is as follows: first, place the plate in the electroplating tank; use the copper phosphorus ball as the anode and the plate as the cathode for electroplating; the copper phosphorus ball loses electrons at the anode and becomes copper ions, which move to the cathode under the action of the electric field and deposit on the surface of the plate; the copper thickening of the plate surface and the inside of the hole is completed;
[0051] Step 7, Circuit: Use micro-etching solution and brushing process to clean the board surface, press a layer of photosensitive dry film, use an exposure machine to irradiate with ultraviolet light to make it polymerize, and use a DES line to develop, etch, and remove the film after exposure to realize the desired pattern on the copper clad board, forming the circuit part of the circuit board, and realizing circuit connection and signal transmission;
[0052] Among them, the micro-etching solution is composed of H2SO4 and H2O2, and the development, etching and film stripping operations using the DES line include the following steps:
[0053] 71) The exposed copper-clad laminate is placed in the developing area of the DES line, and the developer chemically reacts with the unpolymerized photosensitive material in the exposed area to dissolve it in the developer;
[0054] 72) After development, the copper-clad laminate enters the etching area, and the etching solution chemically reacts with the copper layer on the copper-clad laminate that is not protected by the photosensitive material, etching away the unnecessary copper layer;
[0055] 73) After etching, the copper-clad laminate enters the film stripping area, and the film stripping liquid reacts chemically with the remaining photosensitive material on the copper-clad laminate, causing it to fall off the surface of the copper-clad laminate;
[0056] 74) After the operation is completed, the required pattern appears on the copper-clad board;
[0057] Step 8, solder mask: Use volcanic ash and brushing process to clean the board surface, print a layer of photosensitive ink on the board surface, dry and pre-bake it, use an exposure machine to irradiate it with ultraviolet light to make it polymerize, and use a developing line after exposure to develop the window required by the customer;
[0058] Step 9: Text and surface treatment: Use a text printer to print text and treat the surface;
[0059] Step 10: Final molding of the product with molding accuracy of ±0.1mm and special control accuracy of ±0.05mm. Then, testing and appearance inspection are carried out, including continuity test and insulation test. Appearance inspection uses AVI100% scanning and comparison, and products that do not meet the requirements are selected for repair or scrapping to ensure product quality and safety, prevent unqualified products from entering the market, and package the products after they pass the test.
[0060] In the present method, the thermal conductivity of the entire circuit board is effectively improved by using thermally conductive adhesive and copper foil, and by placing copper blocks in a reasonable manner, and by using thermally conductive PP in the sub-outer layer. This enables the circuit board to dissipate heat better during operation, improve the stability and service life of the equipment, and reduce failures caused by overheating. Thermally conductive adhesive and copper foil and other materials are placed on one side of different networks, and precise process control, such as inner layer processing, solder mask and other steps, effectively ensures the insulation performance between different networks, which can prevent circuit short circuits, ensure the normal operation of the circuit, and improve the reliability of the product. The present invention uses the sub-outer layer to use the entire surface of thermally conductive insulating PP to replace the FR4PP+copper substrate containing thermally conductive PP process, which simplifies the original complex process. The use of thermally conductive PP in the entire sub-outer layer can solve the problem of poor electroplating short circuits. The short circuit connectivity problem caused by material shrinkage and other reasons that often occurs in traditional processes is effectively solved, and the product yield is significantly improved.
