Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to PCB manufacturing, and in particular to an exposure method for maintaining high-precision alignment of AB surface graphics on a substrate. Background Art

[0002] In the actual manufacturing process of PCB, for substrates with holes on four sides but not target holes (the target holes in the PCB process are opened according to the target hole layer, the relative position between the target hole and the exposure pattern is accurate, and the upstream and downstream links are positioned according to the target holes, so the overlay accuracy of the final product can meet the requirements), when the A side (front side) and B side (back side) patterns have a high alignment accuracy (±7μm), the inner layer method is generally used to process it. The precise camera position of the laser pattern in the pattern is reversely calculated according to the center alignment method of the A side. While exposing the A side, the laser pattern is used to target the B side, the position of the B side laser pattern is captured, and the B side is exposed according to the position of the B side laser pattern (the specific process is as follows Figure 2 shown).

[0003] The above technical solution has the following main disadvantages: 1) It is necessary to use a color-developing dry film or ink; 2) There should be a margin of about 3mm on the edge of the substrate, otherwise the laser pattern will invade the customer pattern; 3) The edge clarity of the laser pattern on the B side will affect the alignment accuracy. If the alignment accuracy of the hole is ±5μm, then the alignment accuracy of the laser pattern can only reach ±10μm. Summary of the invention
