Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PCB boards, and in particular to a manufacturing method of a PCB board with a metallized half hole and a PCB board. Background Art

[0002] At present, the development speed of electronic information technology is getting faster and faster, and various electronic products as product ends are also rapidly developing in the direction of miniaturization and multi-function. Therefore, as one of the core of electronic products, PCB boards need to achieve reliable connection between PCB boards in many application scenarios, and the connection distance is short. Therefore, the design of many PCBs introduces the function of metallized half holes. Through the metallized half hole, the PCB can be effectively connected to the PCB port, or connected to the chassis shell to improve the grounding effect and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0003] At present, the conventional method of making PCB half-holes is as follows: after the PCB drilling process, electroplating is performed to achieve metallization of the half-hole; then exposure and development are performed, and the outer layer graphics are produced using positive or negative film processes, followed by processes such as solder mask and text. During the shape processing, the metallized half-hole is milled out using a milling machine. This method is a mature method in the industry and has been widely used.

[0004] However, although the above method has no problem for the ordinary half-hole metallization process, for some special structure plates, such as irregular half-holes, large half-hole diameters, etc., during the final shape processing, the half-hole lacks support and is prone to cause the hole wall to deform, or cause the metal on the half-hole wall to be torn and pulled off. Therefore, the traditional method can no longer meet the processing requirements of such plates. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a PCB board with a metallized half hole and a PCB board, so as to solve the following technical problems:

[0006] How to prevent the metal holes of PCB from being deformed and damaged during the etching of the board surface.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a PCB board with a metallized half hole, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1: Perform hole metallization on the drilled PCB board;

[0010] S2: Filling the metal holes of the PCB with protective paste and curing the protective paste;

[0011] S3: Perform metallization half-hole processing on the edge of the PCB board;

[0012] S4: Remove the protective paste in the metal holes of the PCB board.

[0013] In a further scheme of the present invention: after step S1 is completed, an aluminum sheet and a FR-4 board of the same size as the PCB board are taken, and holes corresponding to the metal holes on the PCB board are opened on the aluminum sheet and the FR-4 board respectively, and then the FR-4 board, the PCB board, and the aluminum sheet are stacked and fixed in sequence from bottom to top.

[0014] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the aluminum sheet is 0.1 mm, and the thickness of the FR-4 board is 0.2 mm.

[0015] In a further embodiment of the present invention: in step S2, the protective slurry is prepared by adding calcium hydroxide into water and mixing evenly to obtain the protective slurry, and the concentration of the calcium hydroxide is 1.5-2.5 g / mL.

[0016] In a further embodiment of the present invention: in step S2, the protective slurry is filled into the metal hole by silk screen printing.

[0017] In a further embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the method for curing the protective paste is as follows: placing the PCB board with the protective paste in the metal holes in an oven filled with CO2 and baking at 75-85°C for 25-35 minutes.

[0018] In a further solution of the present invention: in step S3, metallized half-hole processing is performed on the edge of the PCB board by milling, and half of the hole on the edge of the PCB board is removed to obtain a metallized half-hole.

[0019] In a further embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the protective slurry is removed by:

[0020] Place the PCB in water and use ultrasonic waves for 8-12 minutes to loosen the protective slurry in the metal holes. Then soak the PCB in a 4-6% dilute hydrochloric acid solution for 8-12 minutes, then use high-pressure water to wash away the residual protective slurry in the holes. Finally, wash and dry the PCB.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention further discloses a PCB board, which is processed by the manufacturing method of the PCB board with metallized half holes as described above.

[0022] Furthermore, the PCB board is a double-sided board or a multi-layer board.

[0023] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0024] Before the metallized half-hole processing is performed, the present invention fills the metal hole with protective slurry and solidifies the protective slurry, so that the metal hole is filled with the protective slurry and the metal hole is filled with the solid-formed protective slurry. Therefore, when the edge of the metallized half-hole is milled, under the force of the milling work, since the metal hole has the support and balance of the protective slurry, the metal hole is not easy to deform during milling. The metal on the inner wall of the hole is buried in the protective slurry and can also be prevented from being pulled off under the strong force of the milling work. At the same time, the raw materials of the protective slurry used are cheap and easily available materials, so the processing cost will not be increased. The operation of the process of filling and removing the protective slurry is also very simple, the production process is simple, and the one-time qualified rate of the product and the production efficiency can be greatly improved.
