[0048] S4, screen printing and curing the line gap of the ultra-thick copper inner core board with resin;

[0049] S5. Lay and laminate the ultra-thick copper inner core board and the prepreg PP in order of layers to form a semi-finished PCB board.

[0050] Specifically, when the line gap of the ultra-thick copper inner core board is screen-printed and cured with resin, a scraper scrapes the solder paste on the screen board, and the solder paste is printed onto the ultra-thick copper inner core board through the holes on the screen board to achieve scraping; the thickness of the scraper is 20 mm, the hardness of the scraper is 70-80 degrees, the angle of the scraper is 7-15 degrees, the speed of the scraper is 10-100 mm / s, and the pressure of the scraper is 0.2-0.35 MPa; the number of resin fillings is 1-3 times.
