Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of circuit boards, and in particular relates to a processing method for improving the flatness of a multi-layer PCB board. Background Art

[0002] At present, PCB design tends to be more complex and centralized. The material grade, density of board wiring, circuit grade and stacking of components on the board are becoming more and more complicated. From the initial single-sided plug-in to the current double-sided surface mounting, its production and processing technology is also becoming more complicated. The flatness of the PCB during mounting directly affects the pass rate of the product after mounting, so customers have also put forward more stringent requirements for the flatness of the PCB surface.

[0003] In the operating environment of millimeter-wave radar products, there are two types of signals: high-frequency signals and digital signals. In order to meet the transmission rate and loss requirements of high-frequency signals, high-frequency materials must be used; while other digital signals can meet the requirements with the use of low-cost FR4 materials. This leads to the mixed pressing process of two different materials. Millimeter-wave radar PCB is generally designed with 6 or 8 layers, of which L1 / 2 is the high-frequency signal layer, and L3 / 6 or L3 / 8 is the digital signal layer. However, due to the different filler and resin systems of the two materials, such as the attached Figure 2 As shown, the expansion and contraction coefficients during high-temperature pressing are different. After pressing, the product will bend toward the side with a larger shrinkage rate. On the other hand, due to the design of the holes, L3 to 6 needs to be pressed for the first time, and the thickness after pressing is about 50 mil. Due to the requirements of signal transmission, the thickness of the high-frequency material is 5 mil. The second BOOK stacking pressing is 5 mil high-frequency material and 50 mil L3 to 6 semi-finished products. The thickness of the two pressed materials is seriously uneven, causing the PCB to bend toward the thinner side after pressing, resulting in a very high defective rate. Summary of the invention
