Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a PCB backplane, and belongs to the technical field of PCB board manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] The existing scheme for making mechanical crimping holes on high-speed backplanes is to drill through holes and etch hole rings on the two pressed daughter boards in advance. At the same time, to prevent the resin on the resin sheet from flowing and blocking the crimping holes during hot pressing, a hole slightly larger than the through hole of the daughter board is drilled on the low-fluidity resin sheet, and then the two daughter boards are pressed together using the drilled low-fluidity resin sheet through a hot press. The resin sheet on the outer layer of the daughter board is also pressed with copper foil using the drilled low-fluidity resin sheet, and finally the copper foil at the outer crimping hole position is torn off for use in plugging in high-speed backplane adapters.

[0003] However, due to the low fluidity of the resin sheet between the layers of the PCB board, the inner layer of the PCB board will cause the crimping holes to become void. When encountering a backplane that requires welding, the board will explode, posing a huge reliability risk. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method for manufacturing a PCB backplane, aiming to improve the reliability of the PCB backplane and reduce the risk of backplane explosion during the process of backplane welding components.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a PCB backplane, comprising the following steps: After drilling through holes on the daughter board, electroplating is performed to deposit copper on the daughter board surface and in the through holes; printing photosensitive polyimide on one side of the daughter board to cover one end of the through hole to form a crimping hole; The photosensitive polyimide is cured through a curing process.

[0006] Furthermore, before photosensitive polyimide is offset-printed on the bottom of the through hole to cover one end of the through hole, a preset pattern is made on the daughter board by using a pattern transfer method.

[0007] Furthermore, the sub-board is manufactured by: pressing the inner layer boards with patterns made thereon together using resin sheets by hot pressing to form the sub-board.

[0008] Furthermore, the curing process includes: The photosensitive polyimide is pre-cured by exposure using an exposure machine and then cured in an oven.

[0009] Furthermore, the curing conditions in the oven are: a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius and a time of 2 hours.

[0010] Further, after curing the photosensitive polyimide by a curing process, it further includes: processing of the sub-outer resin sheet: using a numerically controlled drilling machine to drill a through-hole larger than the diameter of the press-fit hole at the position corresponding to the press-fit hole on the sub-outer resin sheet.

[0011] Further, the method for manufacturing the PCB backplane further includes: Cover the drilled sub-outer resin sheet on the other side of the daughter board, then cover the copper foil on the sub-outer resin sheet, and finally use a hot press to press the daughter board, the sub-outer resin sheet, and the copper foil together. At this time, the copper foil covers the other end of the press-fit hole.

[0012] Further, the method for manufacturing the PCB backplane further includes: after manufacturing the outer layer pattern, tear off the copper foil at the position of the press-fit hole to expose the other end of the press-fit hole, forming a press-fit blind hole.

[0013] Further, the method for manufacturing the PCB backplane further includes: attaching one side of the two daughter boards and pressing the two daughter boards together, and at the same time, arranging an inner resin sheet between the two daughter boards as an insulating layer.

[0014] Further, the through-hole drilled in the sub-outer resin sheet by the numerically controlled drilling machine is 10 mil larger than the diameter of the press-fit hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a PCB backplane. Using a photosensitive polyimide with high viscosity and strong binding force with resin to seal the position of the interlayer press-fit hole can provide more reliable structural performance for the end of the press-fit hole, and at the same time improve the overall structural stability of the PCB backplane. The manufacturing method provided by the present invention greatly improves the reliability of the product and effectively eliminates the risk of the PCB backplane bursting during the process of welding components.

[0020] Compared with the existing PCB backplane (such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown), please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , this embodiment introduces a manufacturing method of a PCB backplane, including the following steps: S1. Inner layer board manufacturing: Cut the copper clad laminate into the required size, and according to the graphic design, use the method of exposure, development and etching to make graphics on the copper clad laminate to obtain the inner layer board.

[0021] S2. By means of hot pressing, press the inner layer boards with made graphics together with resin sheets to form sub-board 1.

[0022] S3. Drill through holes on sub-board 1 and then electroplate to deposit copper on the board surface and through holes of sub-board 1.

[0023] S4. Use a pattern transfer method to fabricate a preset pattern on the daughter board 1.

[0024] S5. Print photosensitive polyimide 3 (PSPI) on one side of the daughter board 1 to cover one end of the via hole, forming a press-fit hole 2.

[0025] S6. Cure the photosensitive polyimide 3 through a curing process.

[0026] In this embodiment, the curing process includes: irradiating with an exposure machine to pre-cure the photosensitive polyimide 3, and then curing it in an oven.

[0027] Among them, the conditions for curing in the oven are: the temperature is 150 degrees Celsius and the time is 2 hours.

[0028] S7. Processing of the second outer resin sheet 4: Use a numerical control drilling machine to drill a through hole larger than the diameter of the press-fit hole 1 at the position corresponding to the press-fit hole on the second outer resin sheet 4.

[0029] Among them, the through hole drilled in the second outer resin sheet 4 using the numerical control drilling machine is 10 mil larger than the diameter of the press-fit hole 2.

[0030] S8. Outer layer manufacturing: Cover the drilled second outer resin sheet 4 on the other side of the daughter board 1, then cover the copper foil 5 on the second outer resin sheet 4, and finally use a hot press to press the daughter board 1, the second outer resin sheet 4, and the copper foil 5 together. At this time, the copper foil 5 covers the other end of the press-fit hole 2.

[0031] It should be added that the second outer resin sheet 4 is a low-fluidity resin sheet. In this embodiment, the resin fluidity of the low-fluidity resin sheet is 1% - 5%.
