[0019] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 An embodiment of a method for manufacturing a high-voltage and high-current automotive PCB is shown. The method is used to manufacture large blind vias on an automotive PCB. The method comprises: 110, pressing, obtaining the core board, and pressing multiple core boards to form a PCB board; in step 110, during pressing, specifically including: aligning the core boards by means of fusion + rivets, measuring the inter-layer alignment after the core boards are aligned, making the layer deviation tolerance of the core boards + / -0.1mm; measuring the expansion and contraction coefficients of all core boards by means of target cutting and grinding lines, and adjusting the drill belt according to the average of the expansion and contraction coefficients.

[0020] 120, mechanical drilling, drilling a first blind hole in the PCB board by controlling the depth of drilling; in step 120, refer to Figure 3 In mechanical drilling, a flat-bottom drill bit is used to drill a first blind hole 2 from the first board of the PCB board 1 according to a first preset depth, wherein the depth tolerance of the controlled depth drilling is + / -0.1 mm.

[0021] 130, laser drilling, the first blind hole is processed to form a second blind hole by laser ablation at the bottom of the first blind hole; in step 130, see Figure 4 The bottom of the first blind hole is the ablation area 3. In laser drilling, laser ablation is performed at the bottom of the first blind hole at a second preset depth by a circumferential ablation method. When making an extra-large blind hole, multiple laser beams are used for ablation when one laser beam cannot complete the blind hole. This solution moves the X and Y axis moments of the laser beam so that the laser beam ablates around the laser area. The pulse width of the laser beam is 15μm and the energy is 30.5mj. The number of pulses can be determined according to the size of the laser area. For example, when the laser area is 0.425mm, the number of pulses can be 6.

[0022] 140, plasma cleaning, cleaning the second blind hole by plasma; in step 140, during the plasma cleaning, it also includes: confirming by the first slice detection whether the bottom of the second blind hole has a positive etch greater than 2um, if so, proceed to the next step, otherwise re-perform laser drilling.

[0023] 150, PTH+ electroplating, electroplating the PCB board with a high aspect ratio electroplating solution to form a first electroplating layer on the surface of the blind hole; in step 150, the PTH+ electroplating also includes: confirming through a second slice detection whether the hole copper of the second blind hole is greater than or equal to 18um, if so, proceed to the next step, otherwise, perform a second PTH+ electroplating, wherein the second PTH+ electroplating requires brushing and micro-etching.

[0024] 160, resin plugging, the second blind hole after electroplating is plugged with resin by means of partial plugging of an empty aluminum sheet; in step 160, see Figure 5 The resin plugging method specifically includes: filling the air guide pad 5 and the aluminum sheet 6 on the PCB board in sequence, wherein the air guide pad is provided with a first through hole, the aluminum sheet is provided with a second through hole, and the first through hole, the second through hole and the second blind hole are arranged oppositely; the second blind hole is filled with the plugging ink 4 of Sumitomo ACE-9P.

[0025] 170, cover electroplating hole: after plugging the hole, the second blind hole is electroplated for the second time to complete the blind hole production. Figure 6 , then PTH+ electroplating is performed on the hole mouth resin, and the copper thickness is controlled at 12.5+ / -2.5μm, and finally a blind hole 7 is formed.

[0026] The present invention processes super-large blind holes through the above steps. The aperture of the blind hole is ≥0.6mm and the depth is ≥0.6mm. After mechanical deep drilling is used to a certain depth, laser drilling is performed to ablate the inner target layer to realize the processing and production of super-large blind holes. The problems of laser drilling being unable to process super-large blind holes and mechanical drilling penetrating more dielectric layers resulting in insufficient thickness are avoided, and the requirements of super-large blind holes for withstanding high voltage and high current are met.

[0027] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, and this embodiment further improves embodiment 1.

The exposure adopts LDI method to make the graphics of inner core board L2 / 3, L4 / 5, L6 / 7. The DES etching line width / line spacing tolerance is ±20%. The line width and line spacing control CPK≥1.67. The line width is measured at the lower width. The minimum hole ring of the inner layer is ≥25μm.

[0028] Lamination: Multiple core boards are aligned by fusion + rivets. After fusion, the inter-layer alignment is measured, and the layer deviation tolerance is + / -0.1mm.

The depth tolerance of the deep drilling is + / -0.1mm, ensuring that the mechanical deep drilling does not damage the copper of the layer to be drilled through.

[0030] Laser drilling: Based on the original deep drilling of the large hole, there is still about 0.10mm dielectric thickness that has not been drilled through.

The copper thickness of the layer that cannot be drilled through must be ≥ 2OZ and cannot be burned through by the laser.

[0031] Plasma cleaning: Use plasma to remove mechanical deep drilling and laser drilling contamination, and slice to confirm the positive etch effect of mechanical holes above 2um.

[0032] PTH+ electroplating: It is made by electroplating blind holes with high aspect ratio. The second electroplating needs to be brushed and micro-etched. The electroplating needs to be reversed. The large blind holes need to be sliced ​​to see the copper thickness. The copper thickness of the holes is controlled at a minimum of 18um and an average of 20um.

[0033] Resin plugging: vacuum aluminum sheet local plugging method is adopted, and Sumitomo ACE-9P (high TG) ink is used. The plugging effect of 0.9mm mechanical blind hole is confirmed on the first piece, and the fullness of the resin plugging is scanned after plugging.

[0034] Cover hole plating: PTH+ plating is performed on the hole mouth resin, and the copper thickness is 12.5+ / -2.5μm.
