Method used

The metallized hole is first drilled through at the designed position of the circuit board, and the groove is formed by the first and second drilling and milling in the clockwise direction. Then milling is done along the forming line to avoid directly milling the metallized hole. Single-edge and double-edge drill bits are used to ensure cutting force rather than pulling force. Combined with the clockwise rotation design, high-precision metallized half holes are formed.

Benefits of technology

The processing accuracy of the metallized half-hole is improved, burrs and flashes are avoided, and high-precision and efficient production of circuit boards is ensured.

Therefore, the features defined as “first”, “second” can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of “plurality” is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0035] In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that a person of ordinary skill in the art can realize it. When the combination of technical solutions appears to be contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 for the process flow diagram.

[0037] The manufacturing process of the embodiment of the present application includes the implementation of each step process in Figure 1 , and each step process in Figure 1 will be further described step by step.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 for the planar schematic diagram of the metallized hole.

[0039] The circuit board of the present embodiment is designed with a forming line 100, the effective area is within the forming line 100, and the other area is the ineffective area. The effective area is the upper end, and the ineffective area is the lower end. The upper end and the lower end are the reference directions to form the corresponding left end and right end.

[0040] Step S10:

[0041] In the forming line 100 of the circuit board, a through hole is drilled at the design position of the half-hole, and is plated to form a metallized hole 200, to form a metallized hole plate 10. By first making a complete metallized hole 200, and cooperating with the milling in the later process, the metallized hole 200 in the effective area is formed into the required metallized half-hole 3010, providing a processing basis for the later process.

[0042] Optionally, the metallized hole is a small hole with a diameter of 0.15mm to 0.5mm. The present embodiment is directed to the technical process of a smaller diameter metallized hole. The adhesion of the copper layer on the wall of the small hole is relatively weak. Generally, the milling cutter has a larger diameter. If direct forming milling is used, it is more likely to cause problems such as pulling and tearing of the copper layer on the hole wall. In addition, the small hole is conducive to high-density processing of the effective space.

[0043] Optionally, a hole ring 210 is made for the metallized hole 200 to provide a connection function for the hole wall metal layer of the metallized half-hole 3010, and also provides a processable hole ring pattern basis for the present embodiment. The size of the hole ring 210 is 25μm to 105μm, which can provide sufficient contact surface area to ensure good welding performance, thereby reducing the failure probability caused by poor contact and achieving higher positioning accuracy. This is not only conducive to improving the yield.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , Figure 3 is a plan view of the milling of the metallized hole on the front surface of the circuit board; Figure 4 is a partial enlarged view of the FD of Figure 3 ; Figure 5 is a design diagram of the first drilling and milling and the second drilling and milling of the metallized hole; Figure 6 is a design diagram of the first drilling and milling, the second drilling and milling, and the forming line of the metallized hole.

[0045] Step S20:

[0046] The first drilling and milling is performed on the circuit board to form a first drilling and milling path 2010, and the rotation direction of the drill bit in the first drilling and milling is clockwise. The first drilling and milling is performed on the metalized hole 100 from the inside of the hole to the hole wall of the invalid area, so that the cutting edge of the drill bit forms a cutting force (rather than a pulling force) on the hole wall, preventing the hole wall from being pulled and torn, and preventing burrs or burrs from occurring. The angle of the first drilling and milling is in the range of the left end and the lower end (i.e., 20° to 80°), and passes through the intersection JD of the forming line 100 and the hole wall, exposing the substrate at the intersection JD, forming a pre-milling state, effectively avoiding the impact of the high speed of the milling cutter on the intersection JD of the left side of the circuit board during the milling and forming of the subsequent process, and preventing burrs, burrs and other problems from occurring on the edge of the metalized half-hole 3010.

[0047] The second drilling and milling is performed from the right end to the left end of the first drilling and milling path 2010, forming a second drilling and milling path 2020. The second drilling and milling path 2020 is parallel to the forming line 100, the hole wall forms a groove, and the whole forms a drilling plate 20. The process of forming the first step of milling the hole wall and the second step of milling the micro groove ensures that the copper layer of the hole wall is cleanly milled, effectively preventing the hole wall from being pulled during milling and causing burrs, burrs and other problems if it is processed simultaneously with the subsequent forming and milling.

[0048] Further, the first drilling and milling and the second drilling and milling both use single-edge drill bits, which produce less cutting waste and are easy to remove. This helps to reduce surface damage caused by cutting waste accumulation, resulting in a smoother hole wall and better drilling quality.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the second drilling and milling path 2020 has a remaining margin 2030 between the forming line 100, and the distance is 20 microns to 50 microns. On the one hand, it provides a milling force point for the milling cutter of the subsequent milling plate, preventing the milling cutter from causing unevenness in the plate edge due to empty milling. On the other hand, it also does not increase the unnecessary amount of material removal due to the large distance, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0050] Further, the rotation speed of the first drilling and milling is 25 krpm to 30 krpm, preferably 28 krpm; the feed speed is 0.3 m / min to 0.7 m / min, preferably 0.5 m / min; the withdrawal speed is 7.0 m / min to 9.0 m / min, preferably 8.0 m / min; and the movement speed is 0.4 m / min to 0.6 m / min, preferably 0.5 m / min.

[0051] Further, the rotation speed of the second drilling and milling is 33krpm to 37krpm, preferably 35krpm; the feed speed is 0.8m / min to 1.2mm / min, preferably 1.0m / min; the retreat speed is 6.0m / min to 10.0m / min, preferably 8.0m / min; and the moving speed is 0.5m / min to 0.9m / min, preferably 0.7m / min.

[0052] The first drilling and milling needs to mill the copper layer on the hole wall, and a relatively low rotation speed is used to form a fine milling, a relatively small feed speed and a relatively small retreat speed are used to form the minimum pulling damage to the hole wall; the first drilling and milling is to mill the groove in the invalid area, and a relatively large rotation speed, a relatively large feed speed and a retreat speed are used to realize high efficiency processing; by reasonably controlling the rotation speed of the cutting edge and the feed speed, material tearing caused by too fast can be avoided, so that better surface smoothness and flatness are obtained, and the faster but stable retreat speed not only improves the speed of a single process, but also improves the output rate of the production line as a whole.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of milling the metallized hole on the back of the circuit board; Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of the metallized half hole.

[0054] Step S30:

[0055] The drilling and milling plate 20 is flipped, and then the milling is performed along the forming line 100 from one end of the groove to the inside of the hole, forming the circuit board 30.

[0056] The first drilling path 2010 of the previous process and the second drilling path 2020 communicate to form a groove, and the drilling and milling plate 20 is flipped, but the clockwise rotation direction of the milling cutter is not changed, at this time the groove is the feed port of the milling, the milling cutter first advances to the position of the hole edge that has been milled, and the remaining margin 2030 is trimmed and milled, and then advances to the hole wall for drilling and milling, and the milling uses a double-edge milling cutter and rotates clockwise (the same as the previous drilling), at this time the advancing direction of the milling cutter forms a cutting state with the hole wall, effectively avoiding the pulling effect on the hole wall during milling, and problems such as burrs and burrs.

[0057] Further, the rotation speed of the second drilling and milling is 33krpm to 37krpm, preferably 35krpm; the feed speed is 0.8m / min to 1.2mm / min, preferably 1.0m / min; the retreat speed is 6.0m / min to 10.0m / min, preferably 8.0m / min; and the moving speed is 0.5m / min to 0.9m / min, preferably 0.7m / min.

[0058] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure variations or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, which are made based on the contents of the present application specification and drawings, shall fall within the patent protection scope of the present application.
