Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit board processing, and particularly to a processing method for improving the X-ray drilling accuracy. Background Art
[0002] With the development of technology, the communication industry has higher and higher requirements for the performance of electronic products. The PCB starts to be designed in a more integrated direction to shorten the signal loss caused by the link between components. High-end HDI (High Density Interconnect Board) products can integrate traditional NPO / CPO (Near Packaged Optics / Co-Packaged Optics) with the main board. At the same time, as multiple modules start to be stacked on the same PCB board, the via pad and anti-pad will also be designed in a smaller direction, saving more wiring space for the PCB and also contributing greatly to the transmission integrity of signals.
[0003] When designing a smaller via pad on a traditional HDI printed circuit board, the operation difficulty for the PCB is relatively large. After laser processing, there will be a problem of misalignment between the laser hole and the via pad of the target layer, resulting in the laser hole being partially broken and piercing through to the next layer, affecting the signal and service life of the PCB. The key factor affecting the position accuracy between the laser hole and the via pad of the target layer is the position accuracy of the CF hole target grabbed by the laser, which is punched by X-ray. Conventional X-ray simultaneously grabs the overlapping area of the pads (meaning solder pads) of the laser target layers on both sides to calculate the center point, and then punches the CF hole (Conformal, a positioning hole used when making an etching pattern). Due to the thickness of the PCB board and the calculation logic of X-ray itself, the clarity and recognition of the upper target pad are higher. Therefore, X-ray will preferentially grab the clear pad to calculate the center point and punch the CF hole. If there is a position deviation between the target pads on the upper and lower sides, the CF hole only takes into account the upper target and does not consider the reverse target. During laser processing, there will be a large misalignment between the reverse laser and the reverse solder pad, resulting in the phenomenon of the laser hole breaking through the via pad. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a processing method for improving the X-ray drilling accuracy for at least one of the above-mentioned problems.

[0009] Determine the position of the third center point based on the positions of the first center point and the second center point, and perform drilling operations at the position of the third center point to drill CF holes.
[0010] In one embodiment, the shape of the upper target is circular, and the shape of the lower target is annular.
[0011] In one embodiment, the shape of the upper target is a square with a hole in the middle, and the shape of the lower target is a dot-shaped rectangle.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention and how the technical solution solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments.
[0031] The present invention provides a processing method for improving the X-ray drilling accuracy, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0032] S100: Etching the upper target and the lower target to be captured by the X-ray on the target layer corresponding to the laser hole. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the target to be captured by the X-ray is etched on the target layer corresponding to the laser hole. Optionally, in one specific implementation, the shape of the upper target is circular, and the shape of the lower target is annular. The target P1 close to the top is circular, and the target P2 close to the bottom is annular. The target determined on the upper target layer is the upper target, and the target determined on the lower target layer is the lower target. Optionally, in another specific implementation, the shape of the upper target is a Chinese umbilical cord, and the shape of the lower target is a dotted rectangle. The circular and annular shapes are more favorable to the recognition efficiency of the X-ray equipment, and the outer contour of the target can be captured more clearly, so as to determine the center point of the target more quickly and accurately. The Chinese umbilical cord and the matrix shape can also capture the center of the peripheral graphics and lock the graphics, which is also a feasible way.
[0033] S200: Laminating the etched inner layer with the target layer to form a PCB board. Laminating the etched inner layer with the target layer to form a PCB board. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown. Those skilled in the art will know, a PCB board generally has many layers, for example, a PCB board with 20 layers, and the target layers of the laser are the 2nd and 19th layers, and the 3rd to 18th layers in the middle are ordinary graphic inner layers, and then these 20 layers are stacked together and pressed to form a PCB board.
[0034] S300: Using an X-ray device to determine the first center point position of the upper target and the second center point position of the lower target. Figure 5As shown, after pressing, an X-ray device is used to first capture the contour of the P1 pattern described above from the front, calculate the center point position T1 of P1, that is, the aforementioned first center point position. At the same time, continue to capture the contour of the P2 pattern from the front and calculate the center point position T2 of P2, that is, the second center point position.
[0035] S400: Determine the third center point position based on the first center point position and the second center point position, and perform a drilling operation at the third center point position to drill out the CF hole 40. As Figure 5 shown, according to T1 and T2, calculate the position of the center point T3 of the line segment formed by T1 and T2, that is, the third center point position. Perform a drilling operation at the T3 position to drill out the CF hole 40, realizing the function of taking both patterns on both sides into account.
[0036] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing embodiments, in another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 6 shown, after the step of drilling the CF hole in S400, it further includes S500: Capture the front of the CF hole and punch the laser hole 30 on the front, and then capture the back of the CF hole and punch the laser hole 30 on the back.
[0037] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing embodiments, in yet another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, after the step of drilling the CF hole in S400, it further includes S600: Electroplate the laser hole 30 to achieve conduction between the laser hole 30 on the front and the laser hole 30 on the back. After electroplating, the laser hole 30 of the PCB is filled with metal.
[0038] The processing method for improving the X-ray drilling accuracy provided by the present invention designs different targets on the upper and lower layers of the target layer, allows the X-ray device to capture the targets on the corresponding layers in two times and determine the center positions, then calculates the absolute center point according to the center positions of the upper and lower layer targets, and then drills the CF hole, which can take both sides of the laser holes into account and reduce the risk of laser hole deviation and breakage.
