Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for fabricating semi-etched QR codes on a thick copper-ceramic copper-clad substrate, which includes the following steps:

[0041] S1. Obtain a thick copper substrate with an anti-corrosion blue film covering its upper surface;

[0042] S2. Create an etched structure by creating several read cells with etched patterns inside on the anti-corrosion blue film. The matrix of these read cells forms the QR code etched area.

[0043] The cell readout includes the etched pattern of the anti-corrosion blue film removal and the protective pattern of the anti-corrosion blue film retention;

[0044] S3. Chemical etching: By controlling the etching factor and etching speed, as well as the etching pattern in the reading cell, a rough bottom reading cell groove structure for diffuse reflection is etched below the reading cell. A matrix composed of several reading cell groove structures serves as the QR code groove structure.

[0045] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the protective graphic within the cell is read as 5 to 9 times the area of ​​the etched graphic inside it.

[0046] The design concept of this application is as follows:

[0047] In the case of determining the etching pattern of the reading unit cell, the etching depth of the reading unit cell structure can be controlled by controlling the etching line speed, and the etching angle of the reading unit cell structure can be controlled by controlling the etching factor. The roughness of the bottom of the reading unit cell structure can be improved by designing the shape and area ratio of the etching pattern of the reading unit cell, and the contrast of the reading unit cell structure can be ensured by the roughness of the bottom of the reading unit cell structure, the inclined surface of the side of the reading unit cell structure, and the appropriate etching depth, so that the overall contrast of the two-dimensional code groove structure composed of the reading unit cell structure matrix is good, and the reading and matching are easy. The problem of poor readability of the current two-dimensional code can be effectively solved.

[0048] In the embodiment, the etching depth range of the reading unit cell structure can be ensured to be between 30% and 80% by controlling the etching factor, the etching line speed, and the shape and area ratio of the etching pattern of the reading unit cell, the roughness value of the bottom of the reading unit cell structure is improved to about 6 to 8, which is at least twice the roughness of the original thick copper surface of 1 to 3, the inclination angle of the inclined wall is between 104° and 117°, and the contrast of the entire two-dimensional code groove structure is ensured, and the reading and matching of the entire two-dimensional code groove structure are easy.

[0049] Specifically, in the embodiment, the calculation method of the etching factor is as follows: etching factor = 2* copper thickness / (top width of reading unit cell structure - bottom width). According to the control of the etching factor, the side wall etching angle of the reading unit cell structure can be controlled, and according to the control of the etching factor and the etching depth, the bottom width of the reading unit cell structure can be controlled.

[0050] As for the top width of the reading unit cell structure, since the reading unit cell of the two-dimensional code etching area is generally a square, the top width can be calculated according to the preset size of the two-dimensional code etching area and the number of reading unit cells.

[0051] In some embodiments, the steps of S1 and S2 can be exchanged, and the anti-corrosion blue film covered in S1 is the anti-corrosion blue film treated by S2.

[0052] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the value of the etching factor is controlled between 2 and 4;

[0053] The etching angle of a single reading unit cell structure is between 104° and 117°. As Figure 2 shown, when the etching factor value is 2, the etching angle of the reading unit cell structure is 117°, when the etching factor value is 3, the etching angle of the reading unit cell structure is 108°, and when the etching factor value is 4, the etching angle of the reading unit cell structure is 104°.

[0054] Specifically, in the embodiment, the etching speed in S3 is between 0.5 m / min and 1.5 m / min, and the etching depth can be controlled by controlling the etching line speed.

[0055] Specifically, in the embodiment, the roughness Ra of the bottom of the read unit groove structure in S3 is between 6 and 8, and the roughness Ra of the bottom of the read unit groove structure can be 6.7, 7.3, etc.

[0056] As shown in Figure 3 Specifically, in one of the etching patterns that can be used in the embodiment, the etching pattern in the read unit cell is a plurality of independently distributed isolated etching points.

[0057] The plurality of isolated etching points are distributed in a circular array or a rectangular array.

[0058] The number of isolated etching points in a single read unit cell ranges from 4 to 9. In the embodiment, the number of isolated etching points in the read unit cell is 4, and the distance between the centers of adjacent isolated etching points is 0.5 to 0.7 times the width of a single read unit cell. A technician can set it to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and other numbers as needed, and adjust the distance between the centers of adjacent isolated etching points to make the plurality of isolated etching points as evenly spaced as possible to cover the read unit cell.

[0059] The shape of the isolated etching points in the embodiment is circular. In some embodiments, the shape of the isolated etching points can also be rectangular, regular hexagonal, regular octagonal, etc. which are not exemplified and described here.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment, the etching pattern in the read unit cell is a single continuous etching seam or a combination of etching patterns of a plurality of continuous etching seams. In the embodiment, the continuous etching seam or the combination of etching patterns of a plurality of continuous etching seams is formed by a plurality of laser pixel points along the etching pattern.

[0061] Specifically, in one of the etching patterns that can be used in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The etching pattern is a square spiral etching seam or a circular spiral etching seam that covers a read unit cell. In the etching pattern, the square spiral etching seam or the circular spiral etching seam is formed by a plurality of laser pixel points along a square spiral line or a circular spiral line.

[0062] Specifically, in one of the etching patterns that can be used in the embodiment, the etching pattern is a plurality of concentric ring-shaped seams (not shown in the figure) that are independent of each other and cover a read unit cell. The concentric ring-shaped seam can be a square or circular concentric ring.

[0063] Specifically, in one of the etching patterns that can be used in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the etched pattern is a combination of a circular etch seam and multiple horizontal etch seams and / or vertical etch seams. In this embodiment, the etched pattern can be a component consisting of a circular etch seam and multiple horizontal etch seams laid within the circular etch seam.

[0064] Example 2:

[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a semi-etched QR code groove structure for a thick copper ceramic copper-clad substrate, which is fabricated using the above-described method for fabricating a semi-etched QR code on a thick copper ceramic copper-clad substrate.

[0066] The etching depth of the reading unit groove structure that makes up the semi-etched QR code groove structure is between 30% and 80%, the etching angle is between 104° and 117°, and the roughness Ra value of the bottom of the etched area is between 6 and 8.

[0067] If the etching depth of the reading unit slot structure is too shallow, the structural features of the reading unit slot structure will not be obvious enough, resulting in poor reading accuracy and matching accuracy. On the other hand, if the etching depth is too deep, the bottom of the reading unit slot structure will be etched through, resulting in the loss of the entire QR code slot structure image, which will also lead to poor reading accuracy and matching accuracy.

[0068] In this embodiment, the etching depth of the unit structure is between 30% and 80%, the etching angle is between 104° and 117°, and the roughness Ra value of the bottom of the etched area is between 6 and 8. This ensures that the QR code groove structure composed of the reading unit groove structure has good contrast and ensures readability.

[0069] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
