[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides a processing method for a substrate, comprising: step S100: making a circuit on one side or both sides of a glass wafer 1, and then cutting to obtain a plurality of glass plate units 2; step S200: making a plurality of first positioning targets and a plurality of mounting cavities 31 on a core plate frame 3; step S300: attaching an adhesive layer 4 to the bottom surface of the core plate frame 3, and attaching the glass plate unit 2 to the adhesive layer 4 in the mounting cavity 31 according to the first positioning target, so that the glass plate unit 2 corresponds to the mounting cavity 31 one by one; step S400: covering one side or both sides of the glass plate unit 2 with a sealing layer 5 and pressing them; step S500: setting a first signal lead-out hole 6 in the sealing layer 5 for connecting the signal of the glass plate unit 2.
[0036] Before cutting, one or both sides of the glass wafer 1 are etched, a second positioning target is drilled, and copper is sputtered in the positioning hole and then electroplated to complete the circuit production. The sputtering copper process can form a uniform and dense copper film on the surface of the glass wafer 1. The copper film, as a conductive substrate, can ensure that the copper ions in the electroplating solution are uniformly deposited on the surface of the glass wafer 1 under the action of the electric field to form a thicker copper layer, which not only enhances the conductive performance of the circuit on the surface of the glass plate unit 2, but also improves the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance; when processing the glass wafer 1, high-precision glass plate cutting equipment and bonding equipment are used, and the first positioning target is made on the chip frame by mechanical drilling, laser drilling or etching. The glass plate cut from the same glass wafer 1 is embedded in the same core plate frame 3 to make a glass substrate, which effectively reduces the problem of fragility in the existing glass plate processing process, and in this process, the glass wafer 1 material is utilized to the greatest extent, ensuring that each glass plate unit 2 can be fully utilized, and improving the utilization rate of the glass wafer 1 material. The innovative PNL (Panel) level embedded glass panel unit 2 technology can effectively improve production capacity, and multiple glass panel units 2 can be processed simultaneously in one core panel frame 3, reducing processing steps and material waste, and significantly reducing production costs.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 In this embodiment, in step S100, a second positioning target is set on the glass wafer 1 before cutting. The second positioning target can also be made on the chip frame by mechanical drilling, laser drilling or etching. During the entire packaging process, the second positioning target is used to position and guide the glass plate unit 2, guide the glass plate unit 2 to be mounted to the designated installation cavity 31, or instruct the equipment to process the designated circuit position in the glass plate unit 2.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 In this embodiment, in step S200, each installation cavity 31 is provided with a set of first positioning targets; the glass plate units 2 are arranged one by one in the corresponding installation cavity 31 by aligning the second positioning targets with the first positioning targets. The alignment process of the second positioning targets with the first positioning targets ensures the precise position of the glass plate unit 2 in the installation cavity 31, reducing the error in the assembly process.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, step S210 is further included between step S200 and step S300: UV laser and browning treatment are performed on the core plate frame 3 and the glass plate unit 2 in sequence. UV laser can ensure the precise cutting and positioning of the core plate frame 3 and the glass plate, and the browning treatment helps to ensure that the adhesive layer 4 can be firmly adhered to the core plate frame 3 and the glass plate by changing the chemical and physical properties of the surface of the core plate frame 3 and the glass plate, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 In this embodiment, step S410 is also included between step S400 and step S500: finding the second positioning target in the sealing layer 5 by laser drilling, locating the position coordinates of the first signal lead-out hole 6 by the second positioning target, and forming the first signal lead-out hole 6 by laser burning and copper electroplating processes in sequence.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 9 and 10 In this embodiment, step S310 is further included between step S300 and step S400: copper plating is performed on the surface of the glass plate unit 2 on the core plate frame 3. The laser drilling and laser burning techniques ensure high-precision positioning during the processing of the first signal lead-out hole 6. At the same time, the copper plating process forms a uniform copper layer with good conductivity on the hole wall, ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission during the working process of the signal lead-out hole.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 In this embodiment, in step S400, a first sealing layer 51 is coated on the top surface of the core plate frame 3 and the first pressing and curing is performed, and the first sealing layer 51 wraps the top side of the glass plate unit 2; the adhesive layer 4 is peeled off, and a second sealing layer 52 is coated on the bottom surface of the core plate frame 3 and the second pressing and curing is performed, and the second sealing layer 52 wraps the bottom side of the glass plate unit 2.
[0043] Please refer to Fig.11 In this embodiment, after step S500, step S510 is further included, wherein a first protective layer 81 is attached to the bottom end of the sealing layer 5, an extension hole 811 connected to the first signal lead-out hole 6 is drilled in the first protective layer 81, and metal copper is filled in the extension hole 811 to be electrically connected to the first signal lead-out hole 6; a second protective layer 82 is attached to the top of the sealing layer 5, a connection hole 9 is drilled in the sealing layer 5 along the extension hole 811, a second signal lead-out hole 10 connected to the connection hole 9 is drilled in the second protective layer 82, and the connection hole 9 and the second signal lead-out hole 10 are filled with metal copper in sequence. The first protective layer 81 and the second protective layer 82 are wrapped around the upper and lower surfaces of the core plate frame 3 and are made of insulating protective material. The first signal lead-out hole 6 is filled with metal material to complete the electrical connection with the external circuit at the bottom through the extension hole 811 connected to it; and a connecting hole 9 can also be drilled in the sealing layer 5 and a second signal lead-out hole 10 can be drilled in the second protective layer 82. After filling with metal material, the electrical connection between the second signal lead-out hole 10 and the first signal lead-out hole 6 can be achieved, so that the circuit signal in the glass plate unit 2 in the interlocking unit 7 is guided to the top layer of the interlocking unit 7, which is convenient for subsequent circuit connection.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 12 to Figure 13In this embodiment, step S220 is further included between step S210 and step S300: a plurality of process expansion and contraction holes 32 are provided on the core plate frame 3, and metal copper is filled in the process expansion and contraction holes 32. The process expansion and contraction holes 32 are located between the interlocking units 7 (the packaging structure of the single glass plate unit 2 and the mounting cavity 31), and the multiple interlocking units 7 are placed between them and deformed due to the extrusion caused by the expansion and contraction changes. Metal copper, as a good thermal and electrical conductive material, can effectively transfer heat and current. The expansion and contraction holes filled with metal copper also enhance the mechanical strength of the core plate frame 3 and improve its ability to resist deformation and damage.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 9 to 12 The present invention also provides a substrate structure, comprising:
