Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of printed circuit technology, specifically a POP three-dimensional stacked interconnect substrate and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional suspended leads are processed by locally filling with adhesive resist material. This requires filling the specified position with adhesive resist material during the lamination of the printed circuit board layers to prevent the semi-cured adhesive from covering the suspended area during the lamination process. However, in actual processing, the width of this suspended area is only 1mm, and the adhesive resist material can only be filled manually, which is inefficient and poses a risk of misalignment, resulting in abnormal product quality.
[0003] In the electronics manufacturing industry, the precise fabrication of suspended leads is a crucial step in ensuring the performance and reliability of circuit boards. In traditional suspended lead manufacturing processes, to prevent semi-cured adhesive (usually a pre-impregnated epoxy resin or other polymer material used for interlayer bonding and insulation) from flowing into and covering the areas designed for suspended leads during the interlayer lamination of the printed circuit board, the industry commonly uses adhesive resist materials for localized filling. These adhesive resist materials have excellent barrier properties, effectively preventing adhesive penetration while maintaining the integrity of the electrical connection.
[0004] However, this process faces numerous challenges in practice. Especially when the width of the suspended area is reduced to only 1 millimeter, the manual filling of the resist material becomes extremely difficult. First, due to the confined operating space, workers require extremely high precision and patience to ensure the resist material is accurately filled into the target location, which not only significantly reduces production efficiency but also increases labor costs. Second, the unavoidable alignment misalignment during manual operation becomes a major hidden danger affecting product quality. Even the most skilled operators cannot guarantee perfect alignment every time on such a tiny scale. Once the resist material filling position deviates, the prepreg may accidentally cover the suspended area, leading to serious consequences such as short circuits, poor signal transmission, or mechanical instability, directly affecting the final performance and reliability of the product.
[0005] Furthermore, the manual filling process makes it difficult to control the amount and uniformity of the resist material. Too much resist material can lead to unnecessary material waste and increased circuit board thickness, while too little may fail to effectively block the adhesive, also causing quality problems. Therefore, this manual operation method is not only inefficient but also difficult to control in terms of quality, making it difficult to meet the high precision, high efficiency, and high quality requirements of modern electronic products. Summary of the Invention

[0068] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0069] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0070] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0071] Printed substrates using traditional processing techniques contain materials such as copper wires, epoxy fiberglass cloth, and potting compound when interconnecting on the sides. The energy requirements for potting compound and epoxy fiberglass cloth are different during laser etching. To avoid metal powder residue from etching interconnect patterns remaining in the fiberglass material of the substrate, which could lead to potential leakage or short circuits in the potting compound, excess substrate below the leads needs to be removed.
[0072] The technical solution of this invention is to improve the design of the suspended lead structure and develop a novel structure: utilizing the epoxy material of the substrate to locally reinforce the suspended lead. Its structural features are: 0.1~0.2mm of epoxy material is retained below the copper lead, and the substrate on both sides of the suspended lead is completely removed. This substrate-reinforced lead process improves the structural strength of the suspended lead, reduces process difficulty, shortens the processing steps, and increases the yield.

Step 2: Remove the transfer medium from the lower carrier board, place the transfer medium (film or membrane) and the printed circuit board at the guide line contact point, ensuring complete contact, and use a pressure roller to fix the transfer medium onto the printed circuit board. Before fixing, use positioning guide lines to align the position of the transfer medium and the printed circuit board. Step 3: Select a film with the corresponding pattern and attach it to both sides of the sheet, then use an exposure machine to photocur the transfer medium. Step 4: Manually peel off the top and bottom layers of the film and allow it to stand for a period of time. Then, degrade the cured photosensitive adhesive according to the pattern on the film, and clean it thoroughly.

The etching speed is determined based on the thickness of the copper foil. The thin film covered with the pattern medium is placed into the etching equipment, and the copper foil in the areas not covered by the pattern medium is removed cleanly through chemical etching, resulting in a circuit pattern with neat conductor edges. The inner layer etching process includes the following two steps:
[0091] Step 1: Etch the copper surface without resist protection to create the inner conductive pattern; Step 2: Remove the resist film from the non-effective pattern areas on the surface of the thin film.

Step 6: Retrieve the corresponding lamination program to complete the lamination process.
[0096] S6: Drilling: Using a specialized drilling machine, such as Figure 3 As shown, holes of the required diameter are drilled at designated locations on the laminated substrate according to the design documents. The drilling process includes the following four steps:
[0097] Step 1: Machining positioning holes on the multilayer board; checking the overlap of inner layer patterns, measuring expansion and contraction values, and identifying and marking the board orientation; Step 2: Fixing the multilayer board to the CNC drilling machine table with pins at the positioning hole positions; Step 3: Reading the CNC drilling file into the CNC drilling machine to perform drilling on the multilayer board; Step 4: Reading the CNC milling file into the CNC milling machine to perform shape machining on the substrate.
[0098] S7: Hole Metallization: Utilizing the deposition of colloidal palladium, the activation of the palladium core induces a self-catalytic reaction of chemical copper deposition, depositing a layer of chemical copper on the board surface and hole walls, thus forming a network interconnect between the printed conductors of each layer of the interconnect substrate. The hole metallization process includes the following four steps:
[0099] Step 1: Use a deburring and brushing machine to remove burrs from the hole openings, oxide layer, organic contaminants, and other impurities from the board surface, and roughen the surface to enhance the adhesion between the board surface and the electroless copper layer.

[0103] S10: Alkaline Etching: Utilizing the resist properties of dry / wet films to protect the effective patterned areas, the copper surface without resist layer protection is removed by etching with an alkaline copper chloride solution. The alkaline etching process includes the following three steps:
[0104] Step 1: Remove the resist film from the non-effective pattern areas on the substrate surface; Step 2: Etch the copper surface without resist protection to create the outer conductive pattern; Step 3: Remove the tin protective layer on the conductive lines.
[0105] S11: Depth Control Machining: Using a dedicated CCD depth control milling machine, the corresponding depth control file is retrieved, and depth control machining of the substrate in the overhanging lead area is performed according to the layer stack design theory. The depth control milling process includes the following three steps:

[0107] High-precision depth control single-board positioning and depth control platform structure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the product's depth control effect is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0108] S12: Laser Cutting: Laser cutting utilizes a focused, high-power, high-density laser beam to irradiate a substrate, causing the irradiated material to rapidly ablate, melt, and vaporize. Simultaneously, a high-speed gas stream coaxial with the laser beam blows away the molten material, thus cutting the epoxy-coated substrate material between suspended leads. The laser cutting process includes the following three steps:
[0109] Step 1: Place the substrate in the corresponding position on the laser cutting worktable according to the guide lines; Step 2: Read the laser cutting file into the laser processing equipment, locate the substrate through the MARK point recognition system, and perform the first laser cutting trial processing; Step 3: Apply the laser parameters determined by the first trial processing to the remaining substrates in the same batch for batch processing.

[0115] S15: Chemical Electroless Nickel-Gold Deposit: A nickel layer of appropriate thickness is deposited on the interconnect substrate pads, and then a gold layer of a certain thickness is replaced on the nickel layer. This provides extremely high flatness to the pad surface during soldering and forms a protective layer on the pad surface and sidewalls, facilitating subsequent lap soldering or wire bonding. The chemical electroless nickel-gold deposit process includes the following three steps:
