Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a process control method for a PCB spray etching process, a process control device for a PCB spray etching process, a computer device, and a storage medium. Background Art
[0002] In the PCB board manufacturing process, the pool effect refers to the phenomenon caused by the accumulation of the etching agent at the top of the PCB when spraying the etching agent. This pool becomes an obstacle to etching uniformity, making it more difficult to etch the center of the board than the sides. When spraying a single board, the etching agent becomes less effective the moment it touches the copper because it has already reacted. In the middle of the board, this accumulation occurs quickly because it is difficult for the etching agent to flow from the center to the side. Using the oscillating spray method also requires pushing the etching agent in the center of the board to the side. Therefore, without any measures to assist etching, the etching obtained in the center of the board is less than that at the edge. If attempting to process large-sized boards, this situation becomes very significant. Summary of the Invention

[0056] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following further describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the 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.
[0057] In a core concept of an embodiment of the present invention, in the etching process of a PCB substrate, by controlling the flow rate of the annular array of the spray head and using the flow rate control method to control the generation of the "pool effect". On the other hand, by adjusting the content of microbubbles in the etching solution to obtain the actual spray array flow rate distribution data of the spray array to further avoid the "pool effect" generated during the etching process; in addition, it is also possible to control the first film pressing of the PCB substrate, the first double-sided exposure, the etching operation with the first etching surface facing down, the second film pressing, the second double-sided exposure, the etching operation with the second etching surface facing down, etc., to control and avoid the "pool effect" generated during the etching process, adopt special film pressing and etching methods, split the single etching into single-sided etching, and when etching each time, the wire surface passes through the etching line facing down, fundamentally solving the problem of the pool effect and meeting the special requirements of products with strict impedance and strict line width tolerances; using new film pressing, exposure processes, etching methods and processes to fundamentally solve the pool effect problem during the production of PCB in the spraying and etching process and improve the line width uniformity.
[0058] The process control method for the PCB spray etching process provided by the embodiments 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, laptop computers, smart phones, tablet computers, and portable wearable devices. The operating system of the terminal can 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 by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers. The terminal is connected to a variety of semiconductor devices, and the embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0059] Referring to Figure 1 , a step flowchart of an embodiment of the process control method for the PCB spray etching process according to the embodiments of the present invention is shown, and specifically may include the following steps:
[0060] Step 101, obtaining the microbubble parameters of the etching solution;
[0061] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terminal can be a terminal connected to a variety of semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices can include a variety of semiconductor devices, such as material pre-baking equipment, inner layer imaging equipment, etching equipment, drilling equipment, electroplating equipment, brownification equipment, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on the types of semiconductor devices; the terminal connected to the server can control the above-mentioned semiconductor devices to perform corresponding processing operations for various semiconductor materials.
[0062] Before or after the etching operation for the PCB substrate, other operations can also be included, such as stacking operation, lamination operation, electroplating operation, outer layer image etching operation, solder resist operation, immersion gold operation, heat-set text operation, forming operation, electrical testing operation, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0063] Specifically applied to the embodiments of the present invention, the etching solution can include multiple different types of etching solutions. In terms of system classification, the specific etching solution can include etching solutions corresponding to different combinations of ferric chloride system, acidic copper chloride system, and alkaline copper chloride system. The embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this;
[0064] In terms of the main components, the main components of the etching solution can include ammonium fluoride, oxalic acid, sodium sulfate, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, bromic acid, sodium chloride and other main components. The embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0065] Such as Figure 2 As shown, the spray device in the etching equipment in the embodiments of the present invention can include multiple spray heads. The spray heads can be multi-column spray heads, and the spray array can be arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0066] In a spray process according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the PCB substrate moves through a transfer device, and a spray device is arranged below the transfer device. The etching solution is sprayed onto the PCB substrate on the transfer device through the spray device, and the spray head in the spray device can change the tilt angle during spraying.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, first, microbubble parameters of the etching solution can be obtained. The microbubble parameter refers to the proportion of the area of microbubbles in the etching solution to the area of the entire sampled image; the microbubble parameter characterizes the content of microbubbles with a diameter smaller than a preset diameter per unit area. For example, the microbubble parameter can be 0.02% or 0.035%.
[0068] In a specific implementation, the microbubble parameter can be obtained by means of high-speed photography of a transparent spray pipe to obtain an etching solution image including microbubbles, so as to identify the microbubble parameter of a certain etching solution. It should be noted that the above method for obtaining the microbubble parameter is only an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and other methods can also be used, such as measuring the microbubble parameter by means of a conductivity probe. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this too much.
[0069] Step 102, obtain the array position of the spray head and obtain the size distribution map of the PCB substrate;
[0070] Further applied to an embodiment 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 coordinates of the spray head. For example, the array position of a certain spray head can be expressed as (2, 3). Further, the size distribution map of the PCB substrate can also be obtained. The size distribution map can refer to the dimensions in the length direction and width direction of the PCB substrate.
[0071] Step 103, calculate the spray array flow distribution data according to the array position of the spray head and the size distribution map of the PCB substrate;
[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the array position of the spray head and the size distribution map of the PCB substrate, the spray array flow distribution data can be calculated based on the two;
[0073] Specifically, the spray array flow distribution data can include the spray amount per unit time of each spray head in the spray array.
[0074] Specifically applied to the embodiments of the present invention, the calculation of the spray array flow distribution data according to the array positions of the spray heads and the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate includes: dividing the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate into circular diagrams of multiple levels; dividing the circular array positions of multiple spray heads according to the circular diagrams of multiple levels; establishing the relationship with the spray flow through the circular array positions of multiple spray heads respectively to obtain the spray array flow distribution data.
[0075] As Figure 4 shown, the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate can be divided into circular diagrams of four levels, namely the first-level circular diagram, the second-level circular diagram, the third-level circular diagram, and the fourth-level circular diagram; further, divide the circular array positions of multiple spray heads according to the first-level circular diagram, the second-level circular diagram, the third-level circular diagram, and the fourth-level circular diagram. For example, it can also be divided into circular array positions of spray heads of four levels, such as the first spray head circular array position, the second spray head circular array position, the third spray head circular array position, and the fourth spray head circular array position; the first spray head circular array position corresponds to the first-level circular diagram of the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate, that is, the position where the first spray head circular array position sprays corresponds to the position of the PCB substrate of the first-level circular diagram; the position where the second spray head circular array position sprays corresponds to the position of the PCB substrate of the second-level circular diagram; the position where the third spray head circular array position sprays corresponds to the position of the PCB substrate of the third-level circular diagram; the position where the fourth spray head circular array position sprays corresponds to the position of the PCB substrate of the fourth-level circular diagram, and the specific circular array positions are as Figure 2 shown;
[0076] And the spray flows of the circular array positions of spray heads at each level are different and can decrease gradually. For example, the spray volume of the first spray head circular array position is greater than that of the second spray head circular array position; the spray volume of the second spray head circular array position is greater than that of the third spray head circular array position, and the spray volume of the third spray head circular array position is greater than that of the fourth spray head circular array position, so that the spray array flow distribution data can be obtained. Through the spray array step-by-step flow control method in the embodiments of the present invention, the pool effect generated in the etching process can be effectively controlled. The above division method is only an example of the embodiments of the present invention, and the size distribution diagram of the PCB substrate and the circular array positions of the spray heads can also be divided into more other levels to achieve more refined flow control. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this too much.
[0077] Step 104, adjust the spray array flow distribution data according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the spray array flow;
[0078] In the embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the flow distribution data of the spray array, it is also necessary to adjust the flow distribution data of the spray array according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the flow rate of the spray array; further reducing the influence of the microbubbles of the etching solution on the flow rate of the spray array, and at the same time being beneficial to the flow control of the etching solution, improving the control efficiency, and increasing the reaction rate of the etching solution.
[0079] Specifically applied to the embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting the flow distribution data of the spray array according to the microbubble parameters to obtain the flow rate of the spray array includes: calculating a flow rate 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 at the annular array position in the flow distribution data of the spray array according to the flow rate adjustment coefficient to obtain the flow rate of the spray array.
[0080] Specifically, the flow rate adjustment coefficient is calculated from the etching liquid density parameter and the water density parameter , the mixed density parameter , and the microbubble parameter . The expression of the flow rate adjustment coefficient is as follows;
[0081] This flow rate adjustment coefficient .
[0082] In the embodiments of the present invention, the flow rate adjustment coefficient is calculated according to the microbubble parameters, and then the pressure data at the annular array position in the flow distribution data of the spray array is fine-tuned according to the flow rate adjustment coefficient to obtain the flow rate of the spray array. Then, the flow rate of the spray array is applied to the spray flow rate at the annular array position of each grade of the spray head above. Among them, adjusting the flow rate of the spray array by increasing or decreasing the pressure is beneficial to the flow control of the etching solution, improving the control efficiency, and increasing the reaction rate of the etching solution.
[0083] Further applied to the embodiments of the present invention, the method includes: obtaining an etching solution image of a high-speed camera of a transparent spray pipe; identifying the number of microbubbles from the etching solution image of the high-speed camera and calculating the microbubble parameters.
[0084] 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.
[0085] In the embodiments of the present invention, performing an etching operation on the PCB substrate through the flow rate of the spray array to obtain an etched PCB substrate. It should be noted that during the etching operation, the PCB substrate can also be subjected to multiple operations such as film pressing and double-sided exposure. The embodiments of the present invention do not impose too many restrictions on this;
[0086] In a specific example of an embodiment of the present invention, the etching operation of the PCB substrate according to the flow rate of the spray array to obtain the etched PCB substrate includes: after performing the first film pressing on the PCB substrate, obtaining the PCB substrate after the first film pressing; performing the first double-sided exposure operation on the PCB substrate after the first film pressing to obtain the PCB substrate after the first double-sided exposure; performing the etching operation with the etched surface of the PCB substrate after the first double-sided exposure facing down according to the flow rate of the spray array to obtain the PCB substrate after the first etching; performing the second film pressing on the PCB substrate after the first etching to obtain the PCB substrate after the second film pressing; controlling the PCB substrate after the second film pressing to perform the second double-sided exposure operation to obtain the PCB substrate after the second double-sided exposure; performing the etching operation with the etched surface of the PCB substrate after the second double-sided exposure facing down according to the flow rate of the spray array to obtain the PCB substrate after the second etching.
[0087] That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the etched surface of the PCB substrate in the etching operation faces downward, while the spray head faces upward, which can avoid the "pool effect" generated during the etching process. By adopting a special film pressing method and etching method, the single etching is split into single-sided etching. Each time during etching, the wire side faces down when passing through 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 processes, etching methods and processes to fundamentally solve the pool effect problem during the production of PCB in the spray etching process and improve the line width uniformity. Some specific parameter settings are as Figure 5 shown. Specifically, during the first etching operation, only the top surface circuit and the NPTH (Non-Plated Through Hole) holes on the bottom surface are etched. During the second etching operation, the bottom surface circuit is etched, the NPTH holes are all covered with dry film and not etched, the entire surface of the top surface circuit that has been etched is exposed and not etched, and no openings are added. During etching, the side that needs to be etched is always placed facing down when passing through the etching equipment; after the first etching, the second film pressing is performed.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present invention, the process control method for the PCB spray etching process includes: obtaining the microbubble parameters of the etching solution; obtaining the array positions of the spray heads and the size distribution map of the PCB substrate; calculating the spray array flow distribution data according to the array positions of the spray heads 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 rate; performing the etching operation on the PCB substrate according to the spray array flow rate to obtain the etched PCB substrate; controlling to avoid the "pool effect" generated during the etching process, adopting a special film pressing and etching method, splitting the single etching into single-sided etching, and when etching each time, the wire side faces down and passes through 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 processes, etching methods and processes to fundamentally solve the pool effect problem during the production of PCB in the spray etching process and improve the line width uniformity.
