Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of PCB production, and more particularly to a method and device for producing an HDI circuit board and a printed circuit board. Background Art
[0002] HDI circuit boards, or high-density interconnect circuit boards, utilize micro-blind and buried via technology to create a high-density circuit board. Designed specifically for small-volume users, these compact products feature high density, high precision, and high performance. As electronic products evolve toward greater multifunctionality, sophistication, and miniaturization, HDI circuit boards are increasingly widely used.
[0003] With the development of integrated circuits, high-aspect-ratio circuit boards are increasingly being used. In the circuit board manufacturing industry, high-aspect-ratio refers to products with apertures ≤0.2mm and aspect ratios ≥15:1. The via metallization electroplating process presents significant challenges, primarily due to the significant difference in copper plating rates between the via opening and the center of the via. The copper plating rate is fast at the via opening, but slow in the center of the via. This results in a significant difference in copper thickness between the via opening and the center of the via, impacting the quality and reliability of the via copper. This can lead to uneven copper ductility and thickness, causing resistance and signal impedance issues. Furthermore, the small via diameter complicates the resin via plugging process, potentially leading to poor via quality.
[0004] High-aspect-ratio HDI circuit boards also use through-hole and blind via co-plating, which often leads to quality issues during the production process, such as poor copper uniformity, small hole diameter, uneven copper ductility, and poor resin plugging. The higher the aspect ratio of the circuit board, the more serious the problems will be. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In light of the above-mentioned issues, embodiments of the present invention provide an HDI circuit board manufacturing method, apparatus, and printed circuit board to address the prior art problem of co-plating through-hole and blind vias in HDI circuit boards with high aspect ratios.

These issues become more severe with higher aspect ratios of circuit boards where both blind and through vias are plated together.

[0051] 140, drilling a through hole for the first time, making a first through hole in the PCB multilayer board; in step 140, a through hole can be drilled in the PCB multilayer board by mechanical drilling or laser drilling, wherein the first through hole connects the upper and lower surfaces of the PCB multilayer board.
[0052] 150, the second copper making, the second side copper is made on the PCB multilayer board by copper sinking method, flash copper plating method and pulse electroplating method in sequence, wherein the copper plating solution in the flash copper plating method and pulse electroplating method is a non-hole filling solution; in step 150, the non-hole filling solution is composed of 22.5%-27% H2SO4, 3.375%-4.15% CU 2+ , 0.85%-1.15% leveling agent, 0.055%-0.105% brightener, 0.75-1.25 leveling agent, 50-70PPM CL - In this step, a low copper ratio is used to reduce the copper plating speed in high-current areas, reduce uneven copper plating between high and low current levels, and coordinate with the reverse current in the pulse plating process to reduce the thicker copper in high-potential areas. This step is used to create a second copper layer on top of the first copper layer, thickening the copper cladding thickness of multi-layer PCBs.
[0053] 160 , filling the first through hole with resin; In step 160 , the first through hole is filled with epoxy resin to protect the inner layer circuit of the first through hole.
[0054] 170, the second copper reduction, the copper is reduced in the cover hole area of the PCB multilayer board, wherein the cover hole area is the area connected to the first through hole; in step 170, the second copper reduction specifically includes: the second grinding, grinding off the excess resin of the resin plug hole, and grinding off the second side copper of the cover hole area, the copper reduction thickness is 2μm-4μm, and the grinding is performed three times with a current of 1.8A, a wear mark width of 5mm±2mm, and a brush mark time of 2 seconds; the second micro-etching, micro-etching the cover hole area to reduce the copper, and the copper reduction thickness is 10μm-20μm; the third grinding, grinding off the resin protruding after the second micro-etching, and performing one grinding with a current of 1.8A, a wear mark width of 5mm±2mm, and a brush mark time of 2 seconds.
[0055] 180, the third copper making, through the copper sinking method, flash copper plating method and pulse electroplating method to sequentially make the hole cover copper layer in the hole cover area, wherein the copper plating solution in the flash copper plating method and pulse electroplating method is a non-hole filling solution. In step 180, the non-hole filling solution is composed of 22.5%-27% H 2 SO 4 , 3.375%-4.15% CU 2+ , 0.85%-1.15% leveling agent, 0.055%-0.105% brightener, 0.75-1.25 leveling agent, 50-70PPM CL - In this step, a low copper ratio is used to reduce the copper plating speed in high-current areas, minimize uneven copper plating between high and low current levels, and facilitate the reverse current in the pulse plating process to reduce the thicker copper in high-potential areas. This step is used to create a cover copper layer in the cover area, covering the first through-hole location.
[0056] The present invention sequentially performs the steps of blind hole drilling, first copper preparation, first copper reduction, first through-hole drilling, second copper preparation, hole plugging with resin, second copper reduction, and third copper preparation on a PCB multilayer board, thereby producing high-profile blind holes and through-holes in the PCB multilayer board; achieving good hole filling effect and copper uniformity in through-holes with good deep plating capability, and effectively avoiding the problem of uneven copper thickness caused by insufficient deep plating capability of hole filling and copper plating of through-holes.
[0057] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 2 The first copper reduction includes:
[0058] 210, the first grinding, the copper on the first side is ground to reduce copper by 2μm-4μm, and two grindings are performed with 1.8A current, 5mm±2mm grinding width, and 2 seconds brushing time; the grinding can be performed by grinding equipment, and the first grinding specifically includes the following steps: according to the high current distribution characteristics of hole filling electroplating, the thicker copper is all at the pinch point position, so in the grinding stage, the product is electroplated with a pinch point end against the side of the ceramic grinding wheel, so that the grinding pressure at the position with thicker copper is the largest, and a greater grinding and copper reduction effect is obtained, ensuring that the extreme difference in copper thickness of the entire PCB multi-layer board surface is reduced.
[0059] 220, the first micro-etching, micro-etching the first copper surface to reduce the copper thickness by 22μm. In this embodiment, the first micro-etching can be performed using a micro-etching solution composed of sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, a water-soluble metal salt, and a micro-etching stabilizer. The micro-etching is specifically performed by the following steps: the plated end of the product is placed horizontally on the production line. Then, the micro-etching nozzle pressure is increased according to the location of the thicker copper plating, increasing the micro-etching rate of the solution at that location to achieve a greater copper reduction effect, thereby reducing the extreme variation in copper thickness across the entire board surface.
[0060] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 3 The second copper reduction includes:
[0061] 310, the second grinding, the excess resin of the resin plug hole is ground flat, and the second side copper of the cover hole area is ground to reduce the copper thickness of 2μm-4μm, and 3 grindings are performed with 1.8A current, 5mm±2mm grinding width, and 2 seconds brushing time; grinding can be performed by grinding equipment, and the second grinding specifically includes the following steps: According to the high current distribution characteristics of the hole filling electroplating, the thicker copper is all at the pinch point position, so in the grinding stage, the product is electroplated with a pinch point on the side of the ceramic grinding wheel, so that the grinding pressure at the thicker copper position is the largest, and a greater grinding and copper reduction effect is obtained, ensuring that the extreme difference in copper thickness of the entire PCB multilayer board surface is reduced.
[0062] 320. The second micro-etching process involves micro-etching the cover hole area to reduce copper by 10-20μm. This second micro-etching process can be performed using a micro-etching solution composed of sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, water-soluble metal salts, and a micro-etching stabilizer. The micro-etching process involves placing the plated end of the product horizontally against the production line. The micro-etching nozzle pressure is then increased based on the location of thicker copper plating, increasing the micro-etching rate at that location to achieve greater copper reduction, thereby minimizing the extreme variation in copper thickness across the board.
[0063] 330, the third grinding, smoothes out the resin protruding after the second micro-etching. This is done with a current of 1.8A, a 5mm±2mm grinding width, and a 2-second brushing time. The third grinding is used to remove excess resin from the cover hole area, making the surface of the cover hole area smooth and convenient for the third electroplating.
[0064] In this embodiment, the product is electroplated with a pinch point on one end against a horizontal production line, and then the micro-etching copper reduction nozzle pressure is increased according to the thicker copper plating position, and the micro-etching rate of the solution at this position is increased to achieve a multi-copper reduction effect, thereby reducing the extreme difference in copper thickness on the entire board surface. The first micro-etching is used to reduce the surface copper added by the hole filling electroplating, from approximately 25μm~30μm to 8~10μm. For the first electroplating, the extreme difference in surface copper thickness is controlled to be ≤5μm. The second micro-etching is used to reduce the surface copper that needs to be plated for hole cover, from approximately 30μm~35μm to 15~20μm. Through the two processes of grinding + micro-etching, the extreme difference in copper thickness on the board surface is controlled within 10μm for the thick copper area to ensure that the fine lines meet the etching process capabilities. If the copper thickness deviation is large or exceeds 10μm, etching will result in incomplete etching short circuits or excessive etching resulting in smaller lines.
[0065] In the above embodiment, through the first grinding, the second grinding and the third grinding, according to the high current distribution characteristics of the hole filling electroplating or the through-hole electroplating, the areas with thicker copper are all pinch points. Therefore, during the grinding stage, the end of the product with the pinch point is placed against the side of the ceramic grinding wheel. In this way, the grinding pressure at the area with thicker copper is the greatest, and a greater grinding and copper reduction effect is obtained, ensuring that the extreme difference in copper thickness of the entire board surface is reduced.
[0066] In some optional embodiments, the blind hole drilling specifically includes: laser blind hole, which is to laser-drill blind holes in the PCB multilayer board by laser; in addition, the blind hole can be made by mechanical drilling.
[0067] The first plasma degumming is to remove the excess resin in the blind hole. The resin glue remaining after drilling the PCB multilayer board can be removed by any of the following methods: vacuum plasma cleaning, chemical dissolution, mechanical removal, thermal stripping, and potassium permanganate. In this solution, the epoxy resin glue can be chemically dissolved by organic solvents such as acetone, acetic acid, and methanol to clean the resin glue. Before degumming, the target PTH hole needs to be drilled in the PCB multilayer board. The previous drilling process can be mechanical drilling or laser drilling based on the drilling data.
[0068] In some optional embodiments, after the second copper reduction and before the third copper production, the process further includes:
[0069] Drill a through hole a second time to create a second through hole in the PCB multilayer board. This step is used to create a through hole that does not require a cover hole. The second through hole can be created by mechanical drilling or laser drilling.
[0070] The second plasma degumming is used to remove the excess resin in the second through-hole. The resin glue remaining after drilling the PCB multilayer board can be degummed by any of the following methods: vacuum plasma cleaning, chemical dissolution, mechanical removal, thermal stripping, and potassium permanganate. In this solution, the epoxy resin glue can be chemically dissolved by organic solvents such as acetone, acetic acid, and methanol to clean the resin glue. Before degumming, the target PTH hole needs to be drilled in the PCB multilayer board. The previous drilling process can be mechanical drilling or laser drilling based on the drilling data.
[0071] In some optional embodiments, the hole filling solution is composed of 9%-11% H2SO4, 5.75%-6.25% CU 2+ , 1.125%-1.575% leveling agent, 1.125%-1.575% brightener, 50-70PPM CL - In this embodiment, the hole filling electroplating solution ratio is H2SO4: 90-110g / L, CU 2+ :57.5—62.5 g / L,CL - : 50-70ppm, leveling agent: 11.25-15.75ml / L, brightener: 11.25-15.75ml / L. Among them, chloride ions stabilize the quality of the copper plating lattice and enhance the ductility of the copper plating.
[0072] In some optional embodiments, the non-hole filling solution is composed of 22.5%-27% H2SO4, 3.375%-4.15% CU 2+ , 0.85%-1.15% leveling agent, 0.055%-0.105% brightener, 0.75-1.25 leveling agent, 50-70PPM CL - In this embodiment, the non-hole filling solution is the through hole plating solution, H2SO4: 250-270g / L, CU 2+ :33.75—41.5 g / L、CL - : 50-70ppm, leveler: 8.5-11.5ml / L, brightener: 0.55-1.05ml / L, wetting agent: 7.5-12.5ml / L. The high acidity of H2SO4 provides a more evenly distributed current, and the low copper ratio reduces the copper plating speed in high-current areas, reduces uneven copper plating in high and low current areas, and cooperates with the reverse current in the pulse plating process to reduce the thicker copper in the high-potential area. Chloride ions stabilize the copper plating lattice quality and enhance the copper plating ductility.
[0073] In some optional embodiments, the second copper plating and the third copper plating pulse plating include 6 stages, among which the main function of PTH is to deposit a thin layer of metal copper on the non-conductive hole wall substrate of the drilled hole by chemical method, which serves as the base for subsequent copper electroplating. Flash copper plating is to plate a layer of base copper about 5~10μm thick on the surface of the copper deposited in the through hole, so that the VCP can be pre-treated with oil, micro-etching, and pickling to ensure that the deposited copper is intact. It specifically includes:
[0074] The first stage, which accounts for 15% of the entire pulse plating cycle, uses 100% positive current for pulse plating;
[0075] The second stage, which accounts for 30% of the entire pulse plating cycle, uses a forward and reverse current ratio of 1:3 and a forward and reverse current time ratio of 20:1;
[0076] The third stage accounts for 25% of the entire pulse plating cycle, with a positive and negative current ratio of 1:3 and a positive and negative current time ratio of 18:9;
[0077] The fourth stage accounts for 10% of the entire pulse plating cycle, with a positive and negative current ratio of 1:2 and a positive and negative current time ratio of 16:8;
[0078] The fifth stage accounts for 15% of the entire pulse plating cycle, with a positive and negative current ratio of 1:2 and a positive and negative current time ratio of 14:7;
[0079] The sixth stage, accounting for 15% of the entire pulse plating cycle, uses 100% positive current for pulse plating.
[0080] See Table 1 below. Table 1 shows pulse electroplating parameters, which can uniformly plate copper and ensure that the copper plating thickness meets the requirements in the second copper making or the third copper making.

[0083] Example 2:
[0084] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, an HDI circuit board manufacturing device is provided, which is used to execute the above-mentioned HDI circuit board manufacturing method to manufacture a printed circuit board.
[0085] The following steps can be performed by the device of this application:
[0086] Drilling blind holes, obtaining a PCB multilayer board and making blind holes in the PCB multilayer board;
[0087] The first copper production is to produce the first copper surface of the PCB multilayer board by copper deposition and copper plating in sequence, wherein the copper plating solution in the copper plating method is a hole filling solution;
[0088] The first copper reduction is to reduce the copper on the first surface;
[0089] Drilling a through hole for the first time to make a first through hole on the PCB multilayer board;
[0090] The second copper making process is to make the second copper surface of the PCB multilayer board by copper sinking, flash copper plating and pulse electroplating in sequence, wherein the copper plating solution in the flash copper plating and pulse electroplating methods is a non-hole filling solution;
[0091] Filling the first through hole with resin;
[0092] The second copper reduction is to reduce copper in the cover hole area of the PCB multilayer board, wherein the cover hole area is the area connected to the first through hole;
[0093] The third copper making process is to sequentially make a hole-covering copper layer in the hole-covering area by copper deposition, copper flash plating and pulse electroplating. The copper plating solution in the copper flash plating and pulse electroplating methods is a non-hole-filling solution.
[0094] The present invention separates the blind via and through-hole production steps, performing copper plating of the blind vias and through-holes in separate steps using a hole-filling plating solution and a high-aspect-ratio copper plating solution using a pulse electroplating process. This avoids the problem of uneven copper thickness caused by insufficient deep plating capacity of the hole-filling copper plating and the through-hole plating. In addition, if the copper thickness of the board surface exceeds the control requirements after multiple copper plating processes, the excess surface copper is removed through a special grinding and micro-etching process to achieve a surface copper tolerance that is acceptable in the subsequent etching process.
