[0026] Figures 1 to 6 A three-dimensional schematic view of circuit board 100 (please refer to Figure 6 ) at various stages of the process. Please refer to Figure 1, the circuit board 110 is divided into a main region MR and a plurality of bending regions BR, and the plurality of bending regions BR are adjacent to the main region MR. Specifically, the plurality of bending regions BR are respectively located around the main region MR. It can be understood that the plurality of bending regions BR protrude outward from the side boundary of the main region MR, and the length of the plurality of bending regions BR is less than the length of the boundary of the main region MR. For example, in this embodiment, the shape of each bending region BR is strip-shaped, and the main region MR can protrude from both ends of each bending region BR, as Figure 1 shown. The circuit board 110 extends along the XY plane and has a thickness extending along the Z direction.

[0027] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 6 the accompanying drawings shown are only used to illustrate the relative positions of the main region MR, the bending regions BR and each component, and the detailed descriptions of the layer structures in the main region MR and the bending regions BR and the grooves formed between the main region MR and the bending regions BR will be in Figure 7A , Figure 7B , Figure 8A and Figure 8B presented.

[0028] Figure 7A is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of line A-A' of Figure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The circuit board 110 includes dielectric layers 112, 114, and 116 and a bendable circuit layer 118. The dielectric layers 112, 114, and 116 are disposed above the bendable circuit layer 118. Specifically, the dielectric layers 112, 114, and 116 include first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a and second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b. The first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a are located in the main region MR, while the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b are located in the bending regions BR.

[0029] As Figure 7A shown, the bendable circuit layer 118 includes a first circuit portion 118a and a second circuit portion 118b. The first circuit portion 118a is connected to the second circuit portion 118b, and the bendable circuit layer 118 extends from the main region MR to the bending regions BR. In some embodiments, the bendable circuit layer 118 can be formed, for example, by 1 layer or at least 2 layers of copper foil. In other embodiments, the bendable circuit layer 118 can be, for example, the circuit layer of a flexible circuit board (FCB). Therefore, Figure 7A a flexible substrate can be disposed below the bendable circuit layer 118 in

[0030] AsFigure 7A As shown, the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b have first sidewalls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1 and second sidewalls 112bs2, 114bs2, and 116bs2. The first sidewalls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1 face the first sidewalls 112as1, 114as1, and 116as1 of the first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7A simultaneously. There is a width W between the first sidewall 112bs1 and the second sidewall 112bs2 of the second dielectric portion 112b, and the widths of the plurality of second dielectric portions are equal to each other. In other words, please refer to Figure 1 . The widths W in the four bending regions BR are equal to each other.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 7A again. The first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a, the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b, and the bendable circuit layer 118 define a groove R (not shown in Figure 1 ). The groove R is located between the first sidewalls 112as1, 114as1, and 116as1 of the first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a and the first sidewalls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1 of the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b. The width of the groove R gradually widens along the direction from the bendable circuit layer 118 toward the dielectric layers 112, 114, and 116, as shown in Figure 7A . In other words, the width (i.e., the distance) between the first sidewall 112as1 and the first sidewall 112bs1 is less than the width (i.e., the distance) between the first sidewall 114as1 and the first sidewall 114bs1, and the width (i.e., the distance) between the first sidewall 114as1 and the first sidewall 114bs1 is less than the width (i.e., the distance) between the first sidewall 116as1 and the first sidewall 116bs1.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7A , the first sidewalls 112as1, 114as1, and 116as1 of the first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a have first stepped sidewalls. The first sidewalls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1 of the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b have second stepped sidewalls. The first stepped sidewalls face the second stepped sidewalls. In other words, the first stepped sidewalls are formed by the first sidewalls 112as1, 114as1, and 116as1, and the second stepped sidewalls are formed by the first sidewalls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1.

[0034] In other embodiments, the circuit substrate 110 may include only one dielectric layer. For example, Figure 7A the circuit substrate 110 in Figure 7A may include only the dielectric layer 112, while the dielectric layers 114 and 116 in

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and install the electronic component 120 on the upper surface ts of the circuit substrate 110. The electronic component 120 may be, for example, a capacitor, a resistor, an inductor, a central processing unit (CPU), and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), but is not limited thereto. It can be understood that the size, quantity, and arrangement of the electronic component 120 are not limited to Figure 2 shown, and other sizes, quantities, and arrangements of the electronic component 120 are also included in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 and fold the plurality of bending regions BR (please refer to Figure 2 ) to the main body region MR. Figure 7B is a partial cross-sectional view of the line B - B' of Figure 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7A and Figure 7B simultaneously. After rotating the bending region BR by about 90 degrees to the main body region MR, the original second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b and the second circuit portion 118b form a support structure SS located in the main body region MR.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7B, the first circuit portion 118a of the bendable circuit layer 118 is located on the outermost layer of the circuit substrate 110, and the second circuit portion 118b of the bendable circuit layer 118 is located on the outer wall surface of the support structure SS, so that the first circuit portion 118a and the second circuit portion 118b are not coplanar. That is to say, the first circuit portion 118a is a structure extending along the XY plane, while the second circuit portion 118b is a structure extending along the YZ plane. It can be understood that the support structure SS described in this article includes the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b and the second circuit portion 118b.

[0039] Still referring to Figure 7B , since the first side walls 112as1, 114as1, and 116as1 of the first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a have first stepped side walls, and the first side walls 112bs1, 114bs1, and 116bs1 of the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b have second stepped side walls, after folding about 90 degrees in the bending region BR, the first stepped side wall engages the second stepped side wall. In other words, the first stepped side wall and the second stepped side wall cooperate with each other, and the first dielectric portions 112a, 114a, and 116a and the support structure SS form a structure with close contact.

[0040] It can be understood that the height of the support structure SS depends on the width W of the second dielectric portion 112b (please refer to Figure 7A ). The width W of the second dielectric portion 112b (i.e., the height of the support structure SS) can be adjusted according to the actual requirements of the circuit board.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 , after bending a plurality of bending regions BR (please refer to Figure 2 ) to the main body region MR, the plurality of support structures SS are fixed to the upper surface ts of the circuit substrate 110 by using the dispensing material 130. The dispensing material 130 can be, for example, a resin material. The dispensing material 130 can prevent the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b (please refer to Figure 7B ) from being deformed after being stacked, and can also prevent the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b, and 116b from flipping back to the planar state as shown in Figure 7B .

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 , a bonding material 140 is provided on the plurality of support structures SS. The bonding material 140 can be, for example, solder paste, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6, the circuit board 150 is disposed on the circuit board 110, wherein the circuit board 150 covers a plurality of support structures SS and the circuit board 110, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 110 through the plurality of support structures SS. In other words, the bonding material 140 (please refer to Figure 5 ) is disposed between the plurality of support structures SS and the circuit board 150. It can be understood that the circuit board 150 and the circuit board 110 are electrically connected together by reflow soldering the bonding material 140.

[0044] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 6 , there are a plurality of gaps G between the circuit board 150, the plurality of support structures SS and the circuit board 110, and each of the gaps G is located between two adjacent support structures SS. Each of the gaps G communicates with the accommodation space (not shown) between the circuit boards 150 and 110, which is also the space where the electronic component 120 is located, so that the outside air can enter the space where the electronic component 120 is located from the gap G, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the electronic component 120 on the circuit board 110.

[0045] Please refer to again Figure 6 and Figure 7B , the top of the support structure SS includes a conductive line layer 160 (as shown in Figure 7B ), and the conductive line layer 160 is electrically connected to the circuit board 150 (as shown in Figure 6 ). It can be understood that the conductive line layer 160 is formed in advance before bending the second dielectric portions 112b, 114b and 116b and the second line portion 118b. In addition, the conductive line layer 160 can be formed by laser cutting conductive blind vias.

[0046] Figure 8A is a partial cross-sectional view of line A-A' of Figure 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8B is a partial cross-sectional view of line B-B' of Figure 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8A The difference between Figure 7A and Figure 8B lies in the distribution of the conductive line layer 160, and the difference between Figure 7B and

[0047] also lies in the distribution of the conductive line layer 160. Figure 8A and Figure 8B , the inner wall iw of the support structure SS has a conductive line layer 160, and this conductive line layer 160 is electrically connected to the bendable line layer 118. The conductive line layer 160 can be formed by laser cutting conductive blind vias.

[0048] In summary, the circuit board provided by the present invention has a plurality of bent regions protruding outward, and these bent regions are used for bending and serving as a support structure between the circuit board and another circuit board. The support structure in the circuit board of the present invention is formed by bending the bent regions of the lower circuit board upward, and the support structure has a circuit structure. Therefore, the upper circuit board can be electrically connected to the lower circuit board through the support structure, thereby improving the integration of the circuit board. In addition, in this case, only one reflow soldering process can be used to electrically connect the upper circuit board and the lower circuit board, which can improve production capacity and reduce the manufacturing cost of additionally arranging a support frame. Secondly, there is a gap between the upper and lower circuit boards in this case, which communicates with the accommodation space between the upper and lower circuit boards, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of electronic components.
