Blind vias 4 penetrate both top copper layer 2 and dielectric layer 1. Currently, laser drilling is widely used in PCB production due to its ability to achieve small apertures, high precision, and high-density drilling. CO2 laser drilling is also often used in laser drilling because it can effectively cut through dielectric layer 1, eliminates the need for pretreatment of the top copper layer 2, and offers high drilling speeds.
[0004] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure b, CO2 laser drilling is a thermal process with high laser energy. When CO2 laser cuts the surface copper layer 2, it is easy to form overhanging copper 5, which needs to be further processed. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a PCB board blind hole processing device for controlling a laser drilling device to process blind holes on a PCB board, wherein the laser drilling device includes a CO2 laser and a picosecond or femtosecond laser. The PCB board blind hole processing device includes:

[0015] The blind hole processing module is used to perform metallization processing on the hole wall of the blind hole to obtain a PCB board after the blind hole is processed.
[0016] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a laser drilling device, comprising:
[0017] at least one processor; and

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for processing blind holes on a PCB board provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of processing blind holes on a PCB board. The method can be performed by a PCB board blind hole processing device. The PCB board blind hole processing device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software and can be configured in a laser drilling device. Figure 2 As shown, the PCB board blind hole processing method includes:
[0040] S201. Provide a PCB board, where the PCB board includes a surface copper layer and a bottom copper layer separated by a dielectric layer.
[0041] like Figure 3As shown in Figure a, the PCB board includes a dielectric layer 1 and a surface copper layer 2 and a bottom copper layer 3 located on two opposite sides of the dielectric layer 1. The dielectric layer 1 is a non-metallic layer, for example, its material can be a glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material. The PCB board needs to be laser processed to penetrate the surface copper layer 2 and the dielectric layer 1 blind hole.
[0042] S202: Determine a first processing parameter of a picosecond or femtosecond laser and a second processing parameter of a CO2 laser.
[0043] In this embodiment, blind holes are processed on PCB boards by laser drilling equipment. The laser drilling equipment may include CO2 laser, picosecond laser or femtosecond laser. Among them, CO2 laser is a laser that uses CO2 gas as a working medium and can output infrared laser with a wavelength of 10.6μm. It has high power and good beam quality and mainly realizes drilling by evaporating materials through thermal effect. Picosecond laser is a laser with a pulse width of picosecond level ( ) laser, with a wavelength of 755nm, mainly uses ultra-short pulse energy to break up the processing object, which can reduce heat loss. Femtosecond laser has a pulse width of femtosecond level ( ) lasers have smaller wavelengths and mainly use non-thermal effects to achieve micron-level precision processing. Generally speaking, CO2 lasers belong to hot processing, while picosecond or femtosecond lasers belong to cold processing. Of course, hot processing and cold processing are relative in laser processing.
[0044] In this embodiment, the processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser may include laser wavelength, pulse frequency, laser power, single-pulse laser energy, scanning speed, number of pulses, laser spot overlap rate, etc. The processing parameters of the CO2 laser may include mask, processing energy, pulse frequency, number of pulses and pulse width, etc. When the laser beam is an annular beam, it also includes the beam diameter of the annular beam.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser and the second processing parameters of the CO2 laser can be determined based on the blind via parameters and the structural parameters of the PCB board. For example, since the picosecond or femtosecond laser only processes the surface copper layer, the first processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser can be determined based on the aperture of the blind via and the thickness of the surface copper layer. The CO2 laser needs to process both the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer, and the second processing parameters of the CO2 laser can be determined based on the aperture of the blind via, the thickness of the surface copper layer, and the thickness of the dielectric layer. For example, a processing parameter table including first and second processing parameters corresponding to the aperture, thickness of the surface copper layer, thickness of the dielectric layer, and processing time can be pre-configured, and the first and second processing parameters can be obtained by searching the processing parameter table. Of course, the first and second processing parameters can also be determined by considering the quality indicators of the blind via. This embodiment does not limit the method for determining the first processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser and the second processing parameters of the CO2 laser.
[0046] S203, controlling a picosecond or femtosecond laser according to the first processing parameters to form an annular thermal insulation groove penetrating the surface copper layer on the PCB board, and controlling a CO2 laser according to the second processing parameters to remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to obtain a blind hole penetrating the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer.
[0047] In this embodiment, blind holes can be processed by asynchronous processing or synchronous processing. In the asynchronous processing, a picosecond or femtosecond laser is first used to perform circumferential cutting on the surface copper layer of the PCB board to form an annular thermal insulation groove penetrating the surface copper layer. After the complete annular thermal insulation groove is formed, a CO2 laser is used to remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to obtain a blind hole penetrating the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer.
[0048] Synchronous processing is to couple the beam of a picosecond or femtosecond laser with the beam of a CO2 laser to obtain a coupled beam. The picosecond or femtosecond beam and the CO2 beam in the coupled beam are processed simultaneously to form an annular thermal insulation groove by circular cutting and remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove during processing, thereby obtaining a blind hole that penetrates the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer.
[0049] like Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the blind hole processing process. Figure 3 FIG. a includes a cross-sectional view and a top view of the annular heat-insulating groove 6 formed by circumferential cutting. According to the first processing parameter, the picosecond or femtosecond laser is controlled to cut the annular heat-insulating groove 6 on the surface copper layer 2 of the PCB board through the surface copper layer 2, and the closed area formed by the outer contour of the annular heat-insulating groove 6 is a blind hole area. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 2 b, the CO2 laser is controlled according to the second processing parameter to remove the surface copper layer 2 and the dielectric layer 1 in the closed area formed by the outer contour of the annular heat-insulating groove 6 to obtain a blind hole 4.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, a picosecond or femtosecond laser is first used to cut the surface copper layer 2 of the PCB board to form an annular thermal insulation groove 6 that penetrates the surface copper layer 2. The annular thermal insulation groove 6 is essentially the opening of the blind hole 4 in the surface copper layer 2. Since the picosecond or femtosecond laser is a cold processing, the generation of hanging copper at the opening of the blind hole 4 in the surface copper layer 2 can be reduced or even avoided. In addition, when the CO2 laser removes the surface copper layer 2 and the dielectric layer 1 in the closed area formed by the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove 6, the isolation effect of the annular thermal insulation groove 6 can block the heat of the CO2 laser from diffusing to the surface copper layer 2, thereby avoiding the heat of the CO2 laser from forming a thermal effect on the surface copper layer 2 to generate hanging copper, further reducing or even avoiding the generation of hanging copper.
[0051] S204, performing metallization treatment on the hole wall of the blind hole to obtain a PCB board after the blind hole is processed.
[0052] Specifically, a copper layer can be formed on the hole wall of the blind hole by deposition or the like, so that the copper layer on the hole wall connects the surface copper layer 2 and the bottom copper layer 3, thereby achieving electrical connection between the surface copper layer 2 and the bottom copper layer 3.
[0053] The laser drilling equipment of the present invention includes a picosecond or femtosecond laser and a CO2 laser. When processing a blind hole on a PCB board, the picosecond or femtosecond laser is used to circumferentially cut the surface copper layer of the PCB board to form an annular thermal insulation groove that penetrates the surface copper layer, and the CO2 laser is used to remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to obtain a blind hole that penetrates the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer. Finally, the blind hole is metallized. On the one hand, the annular thermal insulation groove is formed by cold working the surface copper layer by the picosecond or femtosecond laser, which can prevent the surface copper layer from generating hanging copper at the opening of the blind hole. On the other hand, the annular thermal insulation groove can block the heat generated by the CO2 laser during the blind hole processing from diffusing to the opening of the blind hole on the surface copper layer, further preventing the generation of hanging copper. On the other hand, the picosecond or femtosecond laser with low processing efficiency is used to circumferentially cut the surface copper layer to form the annular thermal insulation groove, and the CO2 laser with high processing efficiency is used to remove material from the area within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to achieve drilling. This takes into account the processing efficiencies of two lasers with different processing efficiencies, thereby improving the laser drilling efficiency.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for processing blind holes in a PCB board provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention is optimized based on the above-mentioned first embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the PCB board blind hole processing method includes:
[0056] S401. Provide a PCB board, where the PCB board includes a surface copper layer and a bottom copper layer separated by a dielectric layer.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, the PCB board includes a dielectric layer 1 and a surface copper layer 2 and a bottom copper layer 3 located on two opposite sides of the dielectric layer 1. The dielectric layer 1 is a non-metallic layer, for example, its material can be a glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material. The PCB board needs to be laser processed to penetrate the surface copper layer 2 and the dielectric layer 1 blind hole.
[0058] Providing a PCB board in this embodiment may refer to placing the PCB board on a processing platform of a laser drilling device by manual or mechanical means.
[0059] S402: Obtain blind hole parameters and structural parameters of the PCB board.
[0060] In one example, a QR code can be set on the PCB board, and the laser drilling equipment can obtain the blind hole parameters and structural parameters of the PCB board by scanning the QR code, wherein the blind hole parameters may include parameters such as the aperture and depth of the blind hole, and the structural parameters may include parameters such as the surface copper layer thickness and dielectric layer thickness of the PCB board.
[0061] S403 : Determine first processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser and second processing parameters of the CO 2 laser based on the blind hole parameters and the structural parameters.
[0062] In one embodiment, a first processing parameter of a picosecond or femtosecond laser can be determined based on the aperture of the blind via and the thickness of the surface copper layer, and a second processing parameter of a CO2 laser can be determined based on the aperture, the thickness of the surface copper layer, and the thickness of the dielectric layer. For example, a processing parameter table can be pre-configured, including the first and second processing parameters corresponding to the aperture, the thickness of the surface copper layer, the thickness of the dielectric layer, and the processing time, and the first and second processing parameters can be obtained by searching the processing parameter table.
[0063] The following are examples of the first processing parameter and the second processing parameter:
[0064] The first processing parameters of picosecond or femtosecond laser:
[0065] The laser wavelength is 10nm-10um, the repetition frequency is 50Hz-10MHz, the laser power is 1-200W, the single pulse energy is 1uJ-10mJ, the scanning speed is 0.1m / s-10m / s, the number of pulses is 1-100, and the spot overlap rate is 1-100%. When the light beam is an annular beam, the diameter of the annular beam is equal to the blind hole aperture.
[0066] Second processing parameters of CO2 laser:
[0067] Mask size 0.1-10mm, processing energy 1-50mj, repetition frequency 50Hz-50KHz, pulse number 1-100, pulse width 1-50ms.
[0068] S404 , controlling the picosecond or femtosecond laser to emit a picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam according to the first processing parameter.
[0069] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the optical path system of picosecond or femtosecond laser and CO2 laser in laser drilling equipment, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, after setting the parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser, such as the laser wavelength, repetition frequency, laser power, single pulse energy, scanning speed, number of pulses, and spot overlap rate, the picosecond or femtosecond laser can be controlled to emit picosecond or femtosecond laser light. The picosecond or femtosecond laser light emitted from the picosecond or femtosecond laser becomes a picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam after passing through the collimation and diffusion components.
[0070] S405 , controlling the annular beam modulation component to modulate the picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam into a picosecond or femtosecond annular beam having a beam diameter equal to the blind hole aperture.
[0071] In this embodiment, the annular beam modulation component can be a component that modulates a parallel light beam into an annular beam. The annular beam means that when the light beam is irradiated onto a plane, the area covered by the light is an annular area, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows the annular beam irradiating a plane. Figure 6 The white area in the middle is the irradiation area of the annular beam. The maximum diameter of the annular area is the diameter of the annular beam. In this embodiment, when the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam irradiates the surface copper layer of the PCB board, the maximum diameter of the area irradiated by the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam (the diameter of the outer contour of the annular area) is equal to the blind hole diameter. Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the picosecond or femtosecond parallel light beam modulated by the collimation and diffusion components is split by a spectroscope to obtain a first light beam 11. The first light beam 11 enters the annular light beam modulation component. The annular light beam modulation component can be controlled to modulate the picosecond or femtosecond parallel light beam into a picosecond or femtosecond annular light beam with a beam diameter equal to the blind hole aperture, i.e., the second light beam 12. The specific modulation process of the annular light beam modulation component can refer to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0072] S406 , controlling the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam to cut the surface copper layer of the PCB board to form an annular thermal insulation groove penetrating the surface copper layer.
[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam modulated by the annular beam modulator is irradiated on the position where the blind hole needs to be drilled on the PCB to be drilled, such as Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, under the action of the pulse energy of the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam, an annular thermal insulation groove 6 is formed in the surface copper layer 2 and penetrates the surface copper layer 2. The outer contour diameter of the annular thermal insulation groove 6 is equal to the blind hole diameter.
[0074] It should be noted that in practical applications, the picosecond or femtosecond parallel light beam can be directly focused on the surface copper layer to form a light spot. The width of the light spot is equal to the width of the annular thermal insulation groove. The annular thermal insulation groove 6 is obtained by processing the surface copper layer along a circular path through the focused picosecond or femtosecond light beam.
[0075] S407 , after forming an annular heat-insulating groove in the surface copper layer, controlling the CO 2 laser to emit a CO 2 parallel beam according to the second processing parameter.
[0076] After the annular insulation groove processing is completed on the surface copper layer, the picosecond or femtosecond laser can be turned off, or the picosecond or femtosecond laser can be switched to a CO2 laser, and the processing parameters of the CO2 laser can be set, such as the mask, processing energy, repetition frequency, number of pulses, pulse width and other parameters of the CO2 laser, and the CO2 laser can be controlled to emit a CO2 parallel beam after working according to the set processing parameters.
[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the CO2 laser beam emitted by the CO2 laser enters the collimation and diffusion component. By controlling the collimation and diffusion component, the CO2 laser beam emitted by the CO2 laser can be modulated into a CO2 parallel beam.
[0078] S408 , controlling the beam splitter to split the CO 2 parallel beam according to the second processing parameter to obtain a split CO 2 beam.
[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, the CO2 parallel beam modulated by the collimation and diffusion components enters the reflector component and is reflected into the spectrometer. Then, the CO2 parallel beam is split according to the processing energy in the second processing parameter to obtain a third beam 13 with appropriate energy. The third beam 13 is the split CO2 parallel beam.
[0080] S409, using the split CO2 beam to remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer enclosed by the annular thermal insulation groove, to obtain a blind hole penetrating the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer.
[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, the third beam 13 obtained after the spectrometer is split is used to process the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular heat insulation groove 6 in the PCB board to remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular heat insulation groove 6, and obtain Figure 3 The blind hole 4 penetrating the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer is shown in Figure b.
[0082] S410: Obtain the quality inspection result of the blind hole, and determine whether the blind hole is qualified according to the quality inspection result.
[0083] After the CO2 laser processing is completed, the quality of the blind hole can be confirmed by slicing, and then the quality indicators of the blind hole can be observed and measured under a microscope to obtain the quality inspection results. For example, the quality indicators include the size of the overhanging copper, the length of the glass fiber, the residual glue at the bottom of the hole, the hole size, the hole bottom morphology, etc. The quality inspection results are used to determine whether the blind hole is qualified. If so, return to S401 to continue processing the blind hole on the next PCB board and execute S411. If not, return to S403 to adjust the first processing parameters and / or the second processing parameters. The specific parameter adjustment can refer to the existing technology of adjusting the laser parameters according to the drilling quality, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, it should be noted that S410 is not necessary. For example, S410 can be executed when processing the first piece of blind hole on the PCB. When processing blind holes on PCB boards in batches, S410 is executed to adjust the processing parameters for the first piece of blind hole until the blind hole quality is qualified. S410 does not need to be executed when processing blind holes on non-first pieces of PCB boards, or S410 is executed during random inspections.
[0084] S411, performing metallization treatment on the hole wall of the blind hole to obtain a PCB board after the blind hole is processed.
[0085] Specifically, a copper layer can be formed on the hole wall of the blind hole by deposition or the like, so that the copper layer on the hole wall connects the surface copper layer 2 and the bottom copper layer 3, thereby achieving electrical connection between the surface copper layer 2 and the bottom copper layer 3.
[0086] The following combination Figure 7 The process of two kinds of laser asynchronous processing of blind holes in this embodiment is described as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the blind hole processing process is as follows:
[0087] S1. After placing the PCB board on the processing platform, confirm the processing hole diameter and surface copper layer thickness of the PCB board. For example, the processing hole diameter is 150um;
[0088] S2. Set the circular cutting processing parameters of the picosecond or femtosecond laser according to the processing aperture and the thickness of the surface copper layer, for example, set the circular cutting aperture to 150 μm;
[0089] S3, controlling the picosecond or femtosecond laser to perform circular cutting on the surface copper layer to obtain an annular isolation groove;
[0090] S4. Set the processing parameters of CO2 laser according to the processing hole diameter and blind hole depth;
[0091] S5, performing CO2 laser processing on the area enclosed by the annular isolation groove to obtain a blind hole;
[0092] S6. Determine whether the blind hole is qualified. If so, execute S7. If not, return to S2.
[0093] S7. Metallization treatment of blind hole wall.
[0094] In this embodiment, a picosecond or femtosecond laser is first used to form an annular thermal insulation groove that penetrates the surface copper layer by circumferential cutting on the surface copper layer, and then a CO2 laser is used to process the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to obtain a blind hole. On the one hand, the annular thermal insulation groove is formed by cold working the surface copper layer by a picosecond or femtosecond laser, which can avoid the generation of hanging copper in the surface copper layer at the opening of the blind hole. On the other hand, the annular thermal insulation groove can block the heat generated by the CO2 laser during the processing of the blind hole from diffusing to the opening of the blind hole on the surface copper layer, further avoiding the generation of hanging copper. On the other hand, a picosecond or femtosecond laser with low processing efficiency is used to form an annular thermal insulation groove by circumferential cutting on the surface copper layer, and then a CO2 laser with high processing efficiency is used to remove material from the area within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to achieve drilling. This takes into account the processing efficiency of two lasers with different processing efficiencies, thereby improving the laser drilling efficiency.
[0095] Furthermore, a picosecond or femtosecond laser is used to form an annular heat-insulating groove, and then a CO2 laser is used to further process the blind hole. The two lasers are processed asynchronously, which avoids mutual interference between the two lasers, making the processing accuracy of the two lasers higher, the effect of reducing the overhanging copper is better, and the size of the blind hole is more accurate.

[0101] S801-S802 of this embodiment are basically similar to S401-S403 in the second embodiment. For details, please refer to S401-S403 and will not be repeated here.
[0102] S804 , controlling the picosecond or femtosecond laser to emit a picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam according to the first processing parameter, and controlling the CO 2 laser to emit a CO 2 parallel beam according to the second processing parameter.
[0103] like Figure 9As shown, the laser drilling equipment of this embodiment can realize asynchronous processing of blind holes by picosecond or femtosecond lasers and CO2 lasers, and can also realize synchronous processing of blind holes by picosecond or femtosecond lasers and CO2 lasers. Specifically, Figure 5 Based on the optical path system shown in the figure, a ring beam modulation component, a dichroic mirror and an achromatic focusing objective lens are added.
[0104] After determining the first processing parameter and the second processing parameter, the picosecond or femtosecond laser can be controlled to operate according to the first processing parameter, and the CO2 laser can be controlled to operate according to the second processing parameter. The picosecond or femtosecond laser emitted by the picosecond or femtosecond laser is modulated into a picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam after passing through the collimation and diffusion components, and the CO2 laser emitted by the CO2 laser is modulated into a CO2 parallel beam after passing through the collimation and diffusion components.
[0105] S805 , controlling the ring beam modulation component to modulate the picosecond or femtosecond parallel beam into a picosecond or femtosecond ring beam and coupling it to the dichroic mirror, wherein the beam diameter of the picosecond or femtosecond ring beam is equal to the blind hole aperture.
[0106] like Figure 9 As shown, when a picosecond or femtosecond laser and a CO2 laser are required to synchronously process blind holes, for the picosecond or femtosecond laser, the beam splitter can be controlled so that the picosecond or femtosecond parallel light beam modulated by the collimation and diffusion components only generates a fourth light beam 14 after passing through the beam splitter, and the beam splitter does not generate the first light beam 11. The fourth light beam 14 passes through the annular beam modulation component to obtain a picosecond or femtosecond annular beam that is coupled into the dichroic mirror.
[0107] S806 , controlling the beam splitter to split the CO 2 parallel light beam according to the second processing parameter to obtain the split CO 2 parallel light beam, and coupling it to the dichroic mirror.
[0108] like Figure 9 As shown, when a picosecond or femtosecond laser and a CO2 laser are required to synchronously process blind holes, for the CO2 laser beam, the beam splitter can be controlled so that the CO2 parallel beam modulated by the collimation and diffusion components is reflected by the reflector assembly to the beam splitter to only generate the fifth beam 15, and the beam splitter will not generate the third beam 13. The fifth beam 15 is coupled into the dichroic mirror.
[0109] S807 , coupling the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam and the split CO2 parallel beam through a dichroic mirror to obtain a coupled beam, where the coupled beam includes the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam and the CO2 parallel beam in the picosecond or femtosecond annular beam.
[0110] In the dichroic mirror, the picosecond or femtosecond ring beam is transmitted through the dichroic mirror, and the CO2 parallel beam is reflected through the dichroic mirror, so that the picosecond or femtosecond ring beam and the CO2 parallel beam are coupled to obtain a coupled beam.
[0111] like Figure 10 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a coupled beam, which includes a picosecond or femtosecond ring beam A and a CO2 beam B located within the picosecond or femtosecond ring beam, wherein the spot size of the CO2 beam B can be modulated.
[0112] S808. Control the coupled beam to focus on the PCB board, so as to form an annular thermal insulation groove penetrating the surface copper layer by circular cutting in the surface copper layer of the PCB board using a picosecond or femtosecond annular beam, and synchronously remove the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove using a CO2 beam, thereby obtaining a blind hole penetrating the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer.
[0113] like Figure 9 As shown, the coupled light beam emitted by the dichroic mirror enters the achromatic focusing objective lens, and the achromatic focusing objective lens can be controlled to focus the coupled light beam (sixth light beam 16) onto the PCB board. On the PCB board, the picosecond or femtosecond ring light beam and the CO2 light beam synchronously process the opposite copper layer. Since the surface copper layer is metal, the processing efficiency of the opposite copper layer of the picosecond or femtosecond ring light beam is greater than the processing efficiency of the opposite copper layer of the CO2 light beam. As a result, the picosecond or femtosecond ring light beam will first cut the opposite copper layer to form an annular heat insulation groove, so as to prevent the CO2 light beam from causing a thermal effect on the opening of the blind hole in the surface copper layer to generate hanging copper.
[0114] S809, obtain the quality inspection result of the blind hole, and determine whether the blind hole is qualified according to the quality inspection result; if so, execute S801 and S810, otherwise return to S803.
[0115] S810, performing metallization processing on the hole wall of the blind hole to obtain a PCB board after the blind hole is processed.
[0116] S809-S810 in this embodiment are basically similar to S410-S411 in the second embodiment. For details, please refer to S410-S411 and will not be repeated here.
[0117] The following combination Figure 11 The process of synchronously processing blind holes with two lasers in this embodiment is described as follows: Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the blind hole processing process is as follows:
[0118] S1. After placing the PCB board on the processing platform, confirm the processing hole diameter, surface copper layer thickness and dielectric layer thickness of the PCB board. For example, the processing hole diameter is 150um.
[0119] S2. Set the picosecond or femtosecond laser circumferential cutting processing parameters according to the processing aperture, surface copper layer thickness, and dielectric layer thickness, for example, set the circumferential cutting aperture to 150 μm, and set the CO2 laser processing parameters;
[0120] S3, using the set processing parameters to simultaneously control the picosecond or femtosecond laser for ring cutting and control the CO2 laser processing;
[0121] S4. Determine whether the blind hole is qualified. If so, execute S5. If not, return to S2.
[0122] S5. Metallization treatment of blind hole wall.
[0123] It should be noted that when processing blind holes on PCB boards using laser drilling equipment, you can choose to use picosecond or femtosecond laser and CO2 laser asynchronous processing (such as in Example 2), or choose to use picosecond or femtosecond laser and CO2 laser synchronous processing (such as in Example 3). Specifically, Figure 9 As shown, during asynchronous processing, the two beam splitters in the optical path system are controlled so that after the laser generated by the picosecond or femtosecond laser passes through the beam splitter, only the first beam 11 but no fourth beam 14 is produced, and after the CO2 laser passes through the beam splitter, only the third beam 13 but no fifth beam 15 is produced. During synchronous processing, the two beam splitters in the optical path system are controlled so that after the laser generated by the picosecond or femtosecond laser passes through the beam splitter, only the fourth beam 14 but no first beam 11 is produced, and after the CO2 laser passes through the beam splitter, only the fifth beam 15 but no third beam 13 is produced. In actual production, asynchronous processing or synchronous processing can be selected as needed. For example, asynchronous processing can be selected when small overhang copper and high processing accuracy are required, and synchronous processing can be selected when high-efficiency production is required.
[0124] In this embodiment, a picosecond or femtosecond laser and a CO2 laser are coupled to obtain a coupled beam. When blind holes are processed by the coupled beam, an annular thermal insulation groove penetrating the surface copper layer is formed by circumferential cutting on the surface copper layer by the picosecond or femtosecond laser, and the surface copper layer and the dielectric layer within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove are processed by the CO2 laser to obtain a blind hole. On the one hand, the annular thermal insulation groove is formed by cold processing the surface copper layer by the picosecond or femtosecond laser, which can avoid the generation of hanging copper on the surface copper layer at the opening of the blind hole. On the other hand, the annular thermal insulation groove can block the heat generated by the CO2 laser during the blind hole processing to diffuse to the opening of the blind hole on the surface copper layer, further avoiding the generation of hanging copper. On the other hand, the annular thermal insulation groove is formed by circumferential cutting on the surface copper layer with low processing efficiency, and then the CO2 laser with high processing efficiency is used to remove material from the area within the outer contour of the annular thermal insulation groove to achieve drilling. This takes into account the processing efficiency of two lasers with different processing efficiencies, thereby improving the laser drilling efficiency.
[0125] Furthermore, the picosecond or femtosecond laser and CO2 laser are coupled for synchronous processing, without switching the laser or changing the PCB board position, thereby improving the laser drilling efficiency.
