Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a printed circuit board with a blind slot and the printed circuit board, which are used for solving the problems that in the manufacturing process of a multi-layer board, when the inner-layer gold plating area is large, namely the prepreg bonding area is small, a core board can generate large stripping stress in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the pressing process, and the bonding effect is poor. And plate explosion and layering are very easy to occur. The preparation method of the printed circuit board comprises the step of drilling a ventilation hole in each of the two ends, corresponding to a blind groove area, of a conventional layer core board. Therefore, the expansion stress of the core board can be released in time through the air holes, and the phenomenon of board explosion and layering when the bonding area of the prepreg of the printed circuit board is relatively low is avoided. The printed circuit board manufactured by the invention has the advantages of no board explosion layering, simple manufacturing method, easy realization of batch production and the like.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit boards, and in particular to a method for preparing a printed circuit board with a blind groove and a printed circuit board. Background Art

[0002] In printed circuit boards, the characteristic of blind slot design is that it will not run through the entire PCB stacking structure, occupying a better space, making the layout of components denser and more flexible, and connecting different layers of signals, simplifying the patching line to reduce the thickness of the circuit board and optimize the overall area. At present, with the increase of blind slot design products, the final welding area of ​​the blind slot is generally made of hard gold plating and soft gold plating. In order to ensure the precise separation of the semi-cured sheet and the gold-plated layer, it is necessary to select a resist film for blocking. The semi-cured sheet in the area covered by the resist film is a hollow area, which means that there is no adhesion after the area covered by the resist film is pressed. After molding, the resist film is manually peeled off at the resist film to expose the gold-plated area. In the existing technology, when the inner layer gold-plated area accounts for more than 30% (that is, the resist film coverage), that is, the semi-cured sheet bonding area is less than 70%, the core board of the printed circuit board will produce a large peeling stress during the high-temperature baking process, and it is very easy to explode and delaminate. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a printed circuit board with a blind groove, so as to solve the problem of board delamination at the resistive film when the core board is pressed. The method comprises: S1. Core board cutting: prepare two core boards, namely core board core1 and core board core2; S2, inner layer processing: firstly, drill holes in core board core1 and core board core2, and drill a vent hole at both ends of the blind groove area of ​​core board core1, and then sequentially perform inner layer copper deposition, full board electroplating, inner layer pattern transfer, inner layer etching and film stripping on core board core1 and core board core2; S3, forming a partially gold-plated inner circuit pattern on the core board core2: wet film pattern transfer and dry film pattern transfer are sequentially performed on the core board core2, both of which expose the copper layer in the gold-plated area, and the exposed copper layer is gold-plated after the dry film pattern transfer, and then the dry film and the wet film are removed to form a partially gold-plated core board core2; wet film pattern transfer and dry film pattern transfer are sequentially performed on the core board core2 after the partial gold plating, both of which expose the copper layer in the wire area, and the excess copper layer in the wire area is etched away, and then the film is stripped to form a partially gold-plated inner circuit pattern; S4, pressing and outer layer drilling: the core board core1 after step S2 and the core board core2 after step S3 are stacked and pressed through prepreg, a resist film is placed in the gold-plated area between the core board core1 and the core board core2, and then the production board is drilled according to the drill tape data; S5, forming outer layer circuits and surface treatment; S6, adhesive film processing and finished product molding: remove the adhesive film with controlled depth and shape the shape; S7, FQC final inspection and electrical testing.

[0004] Furthermore, in step S2, the diameter of the air holes ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 mm; the inner copper plating is to copper-plate the walls of the drilled holes of the core board core1 and the core board core2 to form a conductive hole; the inner pattern transfer is to coat the surface of the core board core1 and the core board core2 with a photoresist film, and form a circuit pattern through exposure and development; the core board core2 needs to design leads to the process edge in the gold-plated area to ensure electroplating conduction; the inner layer etching and film stripping are to use alkaline solution to remove the photoresist in the unexposed area, and then etch the exposed copper layer with an acidic etching solution, and the circuit forming is completed after the film is stripped.

[0005] Furthermore, the gold plating in step S3 is nickel gold or soft gold.

[0006] Furthermore, after drilling in step S4, plasma treatment is required to remove the glue residue in the hole and activate the surface of the hole wall to improve the adhesion of subsequent copper deposition, as well as copper deposition and electroplating. After chemical copper deposition, the entire board is electroplated to thicken the hole wall to ensure the conduction reliability of the through hole; the air holes need to be exposed when removing the glue residue, and the air holes are sealed with high-temperature tape during copper deposition and electroplating.

[0007] Furthermore, in step S5, the outer layer circuit is formed by sequentially subjecting the production board to film lamination, exposure, and development processes to form an outer layer circuit pattern, and the unexposed area is exposed by alkaline solution and etched away by acid etching to form an outer layer circuit after film removal; the surface treatment includes AOI optical inspection, solder mask, and character printing; the air holes need to be exposed during the solder mask process, and the air holes need to be sealed with high-temperature tape in other surface treatment processes and in the process of forming the outer layer circuit.

[0008] The present invention provides a printed circuit board with a blind groove, and the printed circuit board is manufactured by adopting the above-mentioned method for manufacturing a printed circuit board.

[0009] The printed circuit board of the present invention has a double-layer core board, and a vent hole is drilled at each end of the blind groove area of ​​core 1 of one of the core boards. Through precise pattern transfer, gold plating process and lamination control PCB, the problem of lamination of the resist film is effectively solved by adding the design of vent holes, ensuring the reliability of the product; it solves the problem that in the method of making double-core lamination of resist film, when the cavity area of ​​the inner blind groove area accounts for more than 30%, it is very easy to produce stratification and explosion in the negative pressure environment during the heating process and the plasma treatment stage.
