[0002] Nearly all modern electronic devices incorporate printed circuit boards (PCBs). Traditional PCB manufacturing relies on complex processes such as photolithography, etching, and drilling, leading to material waste, chemical contamination, and low multilayer board alignment accuracy.

[0047] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0048] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for processing a printed circuit board according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step 110: Obtain multiple printed circuit boards.

[0050] Each printed circuit board comprises a composite PI layer and a copper foil layer. The composite PI layer is prepared by embedding vertically oriented graphene nanosheets within a PI substrate. Specifically, the composite PI layer is prepared by the following steps: First, a graphene dispersion is prepared: graphene oxide (GO) is dispersed in a water / ethanol mixture (1:1 volume ratio) and ultrasonically treated for 2 hours at 300W to a concentration of 1 mg / mL. Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (10 nm in diameter, 5 wt%) are added to modify the GO surface via electrostatic adsorption to produce a graphene dispersion. Subsequently, an oxygen plasma treatment is performed at 50W for 5 minutes on the surface of the PI substrate to generate oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH or -OH) on the surface, enhancing graphene adhesion. The treated PI substrate is then immersed in a 2 wt% ethanol solution of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane at 60°C for 2 hours to form an amino layer on the surface of the PI substrate, promoting directional anchoring of the graphene. Graphene nanosheets are uniformly dispersed in a solvent by ultrasonic dispersion to prepare a graphene dispersion. The graphene dispersions are vertically arranged in multiple columns on the surface of the PI substrate; the graphene nanosheets are embedded in the PI substrate by hot pressing to form the composite PI layer. In an embodiment of the present invention, the graphene nanosheets can be vertically oriented on the surface of the PI base layer by a magnetic field induction method or a template-assisted CVD growth method. After obtaining the PI substrate with added vertical graphene, the PI substrate with added vertical graphene is immersed in a polydopamine solution with a pH of 8.5 and reacted at room temperature for 12 hours. The polydopamine solution forms an adhesion layer at the interface between graphene and PI; in a vacuum hot press, it is maintained at 150°C and a pressure of 5MPa for 30 minutes to eliminate pores and enhance interface bonding to obtain the composite PI layer.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the composite PI layer is prepared, the side provided with the graphene nanosheets is laminated to a copper foil layer to obtain a printed circuit board.

[0052] Step 120: performing parameter design and simulation optimization using finite element analysis software to obtain simulation parameters, and etching the surface of the printed substrate to obtain a bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure according to the simulation parameters.

[0053] Specifically, it is carried out in the following ways:

[0054] Step 1201: Create a three-dimensional model of a printed circuit board in finite element analysis software to obtain simulation parameters.

[0055] Among them, the finite element analysis software can be ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, AltairHyperWorks, etc. Among them, ANSYS Mechanical can be used to analyze the PCB structural strength analysis (such as bending stress, vibration fatigue) and solder joint reliability verification. ANSYS Icepak is used to analyze PCB thermal management (chip heat dissipation, air convection optimization). ANSYS SIwave&HFSS is used to analyze signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The printed circuit board design parameters include the geometric dimensions and material properties of the composite PI layer and the copper foil layer, and the initial geometric parameters of the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure on the copper foil layer. In an embodiment of the present invention, the bionic wrinkle structure is as follows Figure 2 As shown, only the local structure is shown in the figure.

[0056] Step 1202: Perform electrical performance simulation based on the printed circuit board design parameters to obtain electrical properties of the printed circuit board, wherein the electrical properties include dielectric constant, signal loss, and conductivity.

[0057] Step 1203: Determine whether the electrical properties meet the electrical performance requirements. If not, modify the PCB three-dimensional model based on the electrical properties, and perform electrical performance simulation again based on the modified PCB design parameters until the electrical performance requirements are met, thereby obtaining the final PCB design parameters.

[0058] Step 1204: etching the surface of the copper foil layer using ultraviolet laser to obtain the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure according to the final printed circuit board design parameters.

[0059] Among them, the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure can be composed of multiple connected rectangles or hexagons. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure is a honeycomb structure composed of multiple hexagons. The size of a single unit of the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure matches the wavelength. In high-frequency applications (such as 28GHz), the signal wavelength λ≈10.7mm, and the side length of the honeycomb unit is set to λ / 10≈1mm. In low-frequency applications (such as 1GHz), the unit side length can be extended to λ / 5≈60mm. When the copper foil thickness is 35μm, the groove depth is ≤7μm (copper thickness 20%), and the stress distribution is verified by finite element analysis (ANSYS). At least 5μm of continuous copper layer is retained at the bottom of the groove to avoid signal line breakage. Use HFSS or CST simulation tools to optimize the groove shape (hexagon) to ensure that the insertion loss in the 28GHz band is <1.2dB / cm.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, a biomimetic honeycomb wrinkle structure was etched onto the substrate surface using an ultraviolet laser. The cells were 200 μm in size and 20 μm in depth, distributing stress evenly along the hexagonal grid. ANSYS simulations and actual measurements showed that, at the same curvature, the maximum principal stress was reduced by 67%.

[0061] Furthermore, by combining a bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure with vertical graphene in a composite PI layer, the present invention increases the surface area of the honeycomb grooves by 30%. Combined with the vertical graphene (thermal conductivity of 1500 W / m·K), the overall thermal resistance is reduced by 45%. This effectively dissipates heat from the cylindrical printed circuit board.

[0062] Step 130: performing multi-level grayscale masking and photoresist coating on each printed substrate according to the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure, and etching to obtain an etched printed substrate.

[0063] After obtaining the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure, photoresist is applied to each printed circuit board. In this embodiment of the present invention, the photoresist on each printed circuit board is exposed using a multi-level grayscale mask, thereby achieving pattern transfer. The multi-level grayscale mask is designed based on the simulation parameters of the bionic honeycomb wrinkle structure. Using a multi-level grayscale mask (e.g., with 0%, 30%, 70%, and 100% transmittance), the circuit pattern (conductors / pads) and the groove structure are integrated into the same mask. The grayscale regions correspond to the groove depth gradient (0% represents the deepest groove, 100% represents no groove). After pattern transfer, etching is performed to obtain the etched printed circuit board.

[0064] The photoresist coating and exposure are carried out in the following manner:

[0065] Substrate pretreatment: Plasma cleaning of the PI substrate surface (O2, 100W, 5min) to enhance the adhesion of the photoresist.

[0066] Spin-coat photoresist: Use AZ4620 positive photoresist with a thickness of 8 μm (3000 rpm, 30 s).

[0067] Grayscale exposure: Using an i-line lithography machine (wavelength 365nm) and dose gradient control (50~150mJ / cm²) to achieve different cross-linking degrees of photoresist in different areas.

[0068] The following methods are used for development and etching:

[0069] Development: AZ400K developer (1:4 dilution), development time 60s, to form a stepped photoresist structure.

[0070] Copper etching: FeCl3 etching solution (concentration 40%), controlled temperature 25°C, etching rate 1.2μm / min, accurately retaining the copper layer at the bottom of the groove.

[0071] PI substrate etching: O2 / CF4 plasma etching (power 200W, gas pressure 50mTorr) with a rate of 0.5μm / min was used to form a honeycomb groove structure.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, after etching, correction scanning is performed by using an ultraviolet laser with a wavelength of 355 nm, a pulse width of 10 ps, and a repetition frequency of 100 kHz.

[0073] A honeycomb-shaped ground copper layer (line / spacing = 50 / 50μm) is inserted above and below the signal layer, generated using laser direct structuring (LDS). The ground layer is spaced 100μm from the signal layer and filled with a low-k dielectric (ε_r = 2.7), creating a ground shield.

[0074] In this embodiment, the wavy conductors were set to have an amplitude of 50μm and a wavelength of 300μm. HFSS was used to optimize the line width and spacing, for example, to achieve impedance control, with a 50Ω differential line width of 90μm and a spacing of 80μm. An online TDR tester (40GHz bandwidth) was also used to monitor impedance fluctuations in real time (within ±5%).

[0075] Step 140: staggeredly stacking and bonding a plurality of etched printed substrates along a first direction, with adjacent etched printed substrates at least partially overlapping, and curling and pressing the staggered stacked and bonded printed substrates along the first direction into a cylindrical printed circuit substrate using a mold.

[0076] In this process, multiple etched printed substrates are staggered along a first direction according to design requirements, ensuring that adjacent substrates at least partially overlap. A layer of high-performance adhesive is evenly applied to the bonding surface of the substrates. The adhesive should have excellent adhesion, insulation, and high-temperature resistance to ensure strong bonding and electrical isolation between the substrates. The adhesive-coated substrates are stacked and bonded together in sequence, and the adhesive is cured by applying a certain pressure and temperature to form an integrated stacked structure. During the bonding process, care is taken to control the pressure and temperature to avoid damage or deformation to the substrates, while ensuring that the adhesive is fully cured to improve the bonding strength and stability of the stacked structure. The printed substrates, after being staggered and bonded, are placed in a dedicated curling mold. Utilizing the shape and structure of the mold, the substrates are gradually curled into shape along the first direction by applying external force. During the curling process, the curling speed and force are precisely controlled to avoid defects such as cracks and wrinkles on the substrates, ensuring that the curled cylindrical structure has good geometric shape and dimensional accuracy.

[0077] To ensure accuracy during curling, magnetic nano-markers are embedded into the surface of the etched printed substrate in predetermined areas via inkjet printing. The magnetic nano-markers are made of an inner layer of Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell magnetic nanoparticles and an outer layer of SiO2 insulating coating. Multiple etched printed substrates are stacked and bonded together in a staggered manner along a first direction, with adjacent etched printed substrates at least partially overlapping. In this embodiment of the present invention, the printed substrate is a rectangular structure, and the first direction is parallel to the length of the etched printed substrate. Specifically, the multiple etched printed substrates are stacked and bonded together in a staggered manner along the length. Micro-displacement is adjusted between the layers of the staggered, bonded printed substrates based on the magnetic nano-markers. The adjusted staggered, bonded printed substrates are then rolled and pressed together in the first direction using a mold to form a cylindrical printed circuit board. To minimize the impact of uneven forces on the electrical performance of the substrates during the curling process, this embodiment of the present invention utilizes a combination of laser preforming and dynamic temperature-controlled pressing. It is carried out by laser pre-bending and dynamic gradient temperature control pressing. Specifically, a 355nm pulsed laser is used to selectively weaken the lattice of the straight core board, generating a microcrack array (spacing 100μm, depth 10μm) in the preset curling path. The crack density is adjusted by the laser energy density to achieve 0°~30° pre-bending (accuracy ±0.5°) to control the pre-bending angle. The axial temperature gradient control is achieved by integrating a multi-segment heating module into the pressing mold. Specifically, the center area is set to 180°C (rapid curing of the adhesive layer) and the edge area is set to 120°C (maintaining the elasticity of the substrate). Combined with air pressure-assisted molding (dynamic adjustment of pressure 0.1~0.5MPa), residual stress is eliminated. Thus, a cylindrical printed circuit substrate with better performance is obtained.

[0078] Step 150: baking and curing the cylindrical printed circuit substrate to obtain a cylindrical printed circuit substrate.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, a rolled and pressed cylindrical printed circuit substrate is placed in a baking and curing device. The baking temperature and time parameters are set according to the substrate material and adhesive properties. The temperature and time parameters of the device are monitored in real time to produce the cylindrical printed circuit substrate.
