Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a process control method and a process control device for a PCB spray etching process, a computer device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the PCB manufacturing process, the pool effect refers to the phenomenon caused by the accumulation of etchant on the top of the PCB when the etchant is sprayed. This pool becomes an obstacle to etching uniformity, making the center of the board more difficult to etch than the sides. When spraying a single board, the moment the etchant touches the copper, it becomes less effective because it has already reacted. In the middle of the board, this accumulation will happen quickly because it is difficult for the etchant to flow from the center to the sides. Using an oscillating spray method also requires pushing the etchant in the center of the board to the sides. Therefore, if nothing is done to assist etching, the center of the board will get less etching than the edges. This situation becomes very significant if you try to process large-sized boards.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the embodiments of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0016] In a core concept of an embodiment of the present invention, in the etching process of the PCB substrate, the flow rate of the annular array of the spray head is controlled to control the generation of the "pool effect" by using the flow control method. On the other hand, the spray array flow distribution data is adjusted by the microbubble content in the etching solution to obtain the actual spray array flow rate to further avoid the "pool effect" generated in the etching process; in addition, the first lamination, the first double-sided exposure, the etching operation with the first etching surface facing down, the second lamination, the second double-sided exposure, the etching operation with the second etching surface facing down, etc. of the PCB substrate can also be controlled to control and avoid the "pool effect" generated in the etching process. A special lamination method and etching method are adopted, and a single etching is divided into single-sided etching. During each etching, the wired side passes the etching line downward, which fundamentally solves the pool effect problem and meets the special requirements of products with strict impedance and strict line width tolerances; new lamination, exposure process, etching method and process are used to fundamentally solve the pool effect problem of PCB during the spray etching process and improve the line width uniformity.

[0017] The process control method of the PCB spray etching process provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to an application environment including a terminal and a server. Among them, the terminal communicates with the server through a network. The terminal can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers and portable wearable devices. The operating system of the terminal may include Android, Harmony OS, IOS, Windows Phone, Windows, etc. The present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this. The server can be implemented with an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers. The terminal is connected to a variety of semiconductor devices, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a process control method for a PCB spray etching process according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps: Step 101, obtaining microbubble parameters of the etching solution; In an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may be a terminal connected to a variety of semiconductor devices, and the semiconductor devices may include a variety of semiconductor devices, such as material pre-baking equipment, inner layer imaging equipment, etching equipment, drilling equipment, electroplating equipment, browning equipment, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on the types of semiconductor devices; the terminal and the connected server can control the above-mentioned semiconductor devices to perform corresponding processing operations on various semiconductor materials.

[0019] The PCB substrate may also include other operations before or after the etching operation, such as lamination operation, pressing operation, electroplating operation, outer layer image etching operation, solder mask operation, gold deposition operation, thermosetting text operation, molding operation, electrical measurement operation, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0020] Specifically applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the etching solution may include a plurality of different types of etching solutions. In terms of system classification, the etching solution may specifically include etching solutions corresponding to different types of combinations of ferric chloride system, acidic copper chloride system and alkaline copper chloride system, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this. In terms of main components, the main components of the etching solution may include ammonium fluoride, oxalic acid, sodium sulfate, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, bromic acid and sodium chloride, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the spray device in the etching equipment in the embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of spray heads, the spray heads may be spray heads in multiple rows, and the spray array may be arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0022] In a spraying process of an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 As shown, the PCB substrate moves through the transmission device, the spray device is arranged below the transmission device, the etching liquid is sprayed to the PCB substrate on the transmission device through the spray device, and the spray head in the spray device can change the inclination angle during spraying.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, firstly, a microbubble parameter of the etching solution can be obtained, and the microbubble parameter refers to the ratio of the microbubble area in the etching solution to the entire sampling image area; the microbubble parameter represents the content of microbubbles smaller than a preset diameter per unit area, for example, the microbubble parameter can be 0.02% or 0.035%.

[0024] In a specific implementation, the microbubble parameters can be obtained by high-speed camera of the transparent spray pipe to obtain an etching liquid image including microbubbles, thereby identifying the microbubble parameters of a certain etching liquid. It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of obtaining the microbubble parameters is only an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the microbubble parameters can also be measured by other methods, such as by conductivity probe measurement, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0025] Step 102, obtaining the array position of the shower head and the size distribution map of the PCB substrate; Further applied to the embodiments of the present invention, the array position of the spray head in the spray device can also be obtained. Specifically, the array position of the spray head can refer to the horizontal and vertical coordinate positions of the spray head. For example, the array position of a certain spray head can be expressed as (2, 3). Furthermore, the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate can also be obtained. The size distribution diagram can refer to the dimensions of the PCB substrate in the length direction and the width direction.

[0026] Step 103, calculating the flow distribution data of the spray array according to the array position of the spray head and the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate; In the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the array position of the shower head and the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate, the shower array flow distribution data can be calculated based on the two; Specifically, the spray array flow distribution data may include the spray volume per unit time of each spray head in the spray array.

[0027] Specifically applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the calculation of the spray array flow distribution data based on the array position of the spray head and the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate includes: dividing the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate into multiple levels of annular diagrams; dividing the annular array positions of multiple spray heads according to the multiple levels of annular diagrams; and establishing a relationship with the spray array flow data through the annular array positions of multiple spray heads to obtain the spray array flow distribution data.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown, the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate can be divided into four levels of annular diagrams, namely, a first-level annular diagram, a second-level annular diagram, a third-level annular diagram, and a fourth-level annular diagram; further, the annular array positions of multiple shower heads are divided according to the first-level annular diagram, the second-level annular diagram, the third-level annular diagram, and the fourth-level annular diagram. For example, the annular array positions of the shower heads can also be divided into four levels, such as the first shower head annular array position, the second shower head annular array position, the third shower head annular array position, and the fourth shower head annular array position. ; The first shower head annular array position corresponds to the first level annular diagram of the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate, that is, the position of the first shower head annular array position spraying corresponds to the PCB substrate position of the first level annular diagram; the position of the second shower head annular array position spraying corresponds to the PCB substrate position of the second level annular diagram; the position of the third shower head annular array position spraying corresponds to the PCB substrate position of the third level annular diagram; the position of the fourth shower head annular array position spraying corresponds to the PCB substrate position of the fourth level annular diagram, and the specific annular array positions are as follows Figure 2 As shown; The spray flow rates at the annular array positions of the shower heads of each level are different and can be reduced step by step, such as the spray volume at the annular array position of the first shower head is greater than the spray volume at the annular array position of the second shower head; the spray volume at the annular array position of the second shower head is greater than the spray volume at the annular array position of the third shower head, and the spray volume at the annular array position of the third shower head is greater than the spray volume at the annular array position of the fourth shower head. The spray array flow distribution data can be obtained. The step-by-step flow control method of the spray array in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively control the pool effect generated in the etching process. The above-mentioned division method is only an example of the embodiment of the present invention. The size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate and the annular array positions of the shower heads can also be divided into more other levels to achieve more precise flow control. The embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0029] Step 104, adjusting the spray array flow distribution data according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the spray array flow; In the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the spray array flow distribution data, it is also necessary to adjust the spray array flow distribution data according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the spray array flow; further reducing the influence of the microbubbles of the etching solution on the spray array flow, and at the same time, it can be beneficial to the flow control of the etching solution, improve the control efficiency, and improve the reaction rate of the etching solution. Specifically applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the spray array flow distribution data is adjusted according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the spray array flow, including: calculating the flow adjustment coefficient according to the microbubble parameters, the etching liquid density parameter, the water density parameter, and the mixed density parameter; adjusting the pressure data of the annular array position in the spray array flow distribution data according to the flow adjustment coefficient to obtain the spray array flow.

[0030] Specifically, the flow adjustment factor According to the etching liquid density parameter And water density parameters , mixed density parameters , and microbubble parameters Calculated, the flow adjustment coefficient The expression is as follows; The flow adjustment factor ; In an embodiment of the present invention, a flow adjustment coefficient is calculated based on the microbubble parameter, and then the pressure data of the annular array position in the spray array flow distribution data is fine-tuned based on the flow adjustment coefficient to obtain the spray array flow, and then the spray array flow is applied to the spray flow of the annular array position of each level of the spray head mentioned above, wherein the spray array flow is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the pressure, which is beneficial to the flow control of the etching liquid, improves the control efficiency, and improves the reaction rate of the etching liquid.

[0031] Further applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: acquiring an etching liquid image of the transparent spray pipe taken by high-speed photography; identifying the number of microbubbles from the etching liquid image taken by high-speed photography, and calculating the microbubble parameters.

[0032] Step 105 , performing an etching operation on the PCB substrate according to the flow rate of the spray array to obtain an etched PCB substrate.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, the etching operation of the PCB substrate is performed by the flow rate of the spray array to obtain the etched PCB substrate. It should be noted that during the etching operation, the PCB substrate can also be subjected to multiple operations such as lamination and double-sided exposure, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose too many restrictions on this. In a specific example of an embodiment of the present invention, the etching operation of the PCB substrate is performed according to the spray array flow rate to obtain the etched PCB substrate, including: performing a first lamination on the PCB substrate to obtain the PCB substrate after the first lamination; performing a first double-sided exposure operation on the PCB substrate after the first lamination to obtain the PCB substrate after the first double-sided exposure; performing an etching operation with the etched surface facing down on the PCB substrate after the first double-sided exposure according to the spray array flow rate to obtain the PCB substrate after the first etching; performing a second lamination on the PCB substrate after the first etching to obtain the PCB substrate after the second lamination; controlling the PCB substrate after the second lamination to perform a second double-sided exposure operation to obtain the PCB substrate after the second double-sided exposure; performing an etching operation with the etched surface facing down on the PCB substrate after the second double-sided exposure according to the spray array flow rate to obtain the PCB substrate after the second etching.

[0034] That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the etching surface of the PCB substrate is oriented downward, while the shower head is oriented upward in the etching operation, so as to avoid the "pool effect" generated in the etching process. A special lamination etching method is adopted, and a single etching is divided into single-sided etching. During each etching, the wired surface faces downward over the etching line, which fundamentally solves the pool effect problem and meets the special requirements of products with strict impedance and strict line width tolerance. A new lamination, exposure process, etching method and process are used to fundamentally solve the pool effect problem of PCB during the spray etching process, improve the line width uniformity, and some specific parameter settings are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, specifically, during the first etching operation, only the top surface circuit and the NPTH (Non-PlatedThrough Hole) hole on the bottom surface are etched. During the second etching operation, the bottom surface circuit is etched, and the NPTH hole is completely covered with dry film and not etched. The entire surface of the top surface where the circuit has been etched is exposed and not etched, and no window is added. During etching, the side that needs to be etched is always placed facing downwards when passing through the etching equipment. After the first etching, a second lamination is performed.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the process control method of the PCB spray etching process includes: obtaining microbubble parameters of the etching solution; obtaining the array position of the spray head, and obtaining the size distribution map of the PCB substrate; calculating the spray array flow distribution data according to the array position of the spray head and the size distribution map of the PCB substrate; adjusting the spray array flow distribution data according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the spray array flow; performing an etching operation on the PCB substrate according to the spray array flow to obtain the etched PCB substrate; controlling to avoid the "pool effect" generated during the etching process, adopting a special film pressing etching method, splitting a single etching into single-sided etching, and each time etching, the wired side faces down over the etching line, fundamentally solving the pool effect problem, and meeting the special requirements of products with strict impedance and strict line width tolerances; using new film pressing, exposure process, etching method and process, fundamentally solving the pool effect problem of PCB during the spray etching process production, and improving line width uniformity.
