Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of PCB processing devices, and in particular to a novel process for manufacturing VIP holes in double-sided FPC boards. Background Art
[0002] The fabrication of VIP holes (typically conductive through-holes achieved through plated through-hole technology) on double-sided FPCs (Flexible Printed Circuits) is a key step in their manufacturing. Double-sided FPCs are flexible printed circuits with two conductive layers, electrically connected via VIP holes. This structure enables more complex circuit layouts within limited space, making them widely used in electronic products requiring high density, miniaturization, and high reliability, such as those in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptop computers, and digital cameras.
[0003] The VIP hole production process involves multiple key steps, including cutting, drilling, hole metallization (electroplated through-hole), pre-treatment, circuit production, etching, protective film application, lamination and curing, surface treatment, and electrical testing. Currently, in the PCB industry, VIP holes in double-layer FPC boards are generally filled with laser blind vias + via-filling copper plating or laser micro-vias + VCP copper plating. Laser blind vias + via-filling copper plating must use via-filling copper plating wire, which requires high equipment and has high quality risks (blind via depression / fluid core wrapping). It is also prone to defects such as blind via depression and fluid core wrapping, which limits the yield rate. The laser micro-via + VCP solution has the risk of glue residue blocking the hole and fluid core wrapping. In addition, due to the poor uniformity of the micro-via aperture, core wrapping may still occur after copper plating, affecting the conductivity reliability.
[0004] The above process places stringent demands on equipment precision and is difficult to meet the processing requirements of ultra-thin FPC boards (total substrate thickness ≤ 50μm). To address these issues, a low-cost, highly reliable process for producing VIP holes in double-sided FPC boards is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In this application, laser drilling equipment is used for layered penetration, which suppresses heat accumulation, improves hole wall quality, and prevents carbonization. By drilling in stages (e.g., treating each layer separately), the intervals between laser pulses increase heat dissipation, preventing localized overheating of the substrate and carbonization of organic materials such as polyimide (PI) due to high temperatures. For multi-layer materials, laser penetration can be performed in stages, first penetrating the copper layer, then processing the PI layer, and finally completing the hole in the bottom copper layer. This avoids the problem of energy overload in a single drilling operation, which can lead to spattering or overheating of the bottom metal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0021] Reference Figure 1 A new double-sided FPC board VIP hole production process includes the following steps: (a) Funnel-shaped microholes are formed on the double-sided FPC substrate using a laser drilling device. The lower pore diameter of the microhole is 20-25μm, the upper pore diameter is 40-60μm, and the hole depth is consistent with the total thickness of the substrate and is ≤50μm; (b) performing vacuum plasma treatment on the micropores obtained in step (a) to remove residual carbon at the pore openings and increase the pore wall roughness to Ra ≤ 0.5 μm; (c) Copper plating of the microvias using a vertical continuous plating (VCP) process, using an acidic copper plating solution with a TP value > 1:1 and a current density of 1.5-2.5 ASD, ensuring that the copper thickness on one side of the lower aperture is ≥ 10 μm and the bottom of the aperture is completely filled, and the depression depth of the upper aperture is ≤ 5 μm; (d) The copper-plated FPC board is subjected to surface anti-oxidation treatment and laminated packaging.
[0022] The laser drilling parameters in step (a) include: The laser wavelength is 355nm or 532nm; Energy density is 1.0-1.5J / cm²; The pulse frequency is 3-8kHz; The focused spot diameter is 15-25μm.
[0023] In step (b), the vacuum plasma treatment uses an Ar / O2 mixed gas, with the volume proportion of O2 being 20-40%, the treatment pressure being 30-80 Pa, the radio frequency power being 200-500 W, and the treatment time being 60-120 s.
[0024] The acid copper plating solution in step (c) comprises the following components: Copper sulfate: 80-120g / L; Sulfuric acid: 80-150g / L; Chloride ion: 30-80ppm; Organic additives: including leveling agents, wetting agents and inhibitors, with a total concentration of 2-8mL / L; In step (c), the circulation rate of the copper plating solution is 3-8 m / min, and the plating solution temperature is 22-28°C.
[0025] In step (d), the surface anti-oxidation treatment is a chemical nickel-gold deposition process or an OSP organic solder paste process, and the laminated package adopts a polyimide cover film or an epoxy resin prepreg; The double-sided FPC substrate is made of polyimide (PI), polyester (PET) or liquid crystal polymer (LCP), with a total thickness of 25-50μm; VIP hole on-resistance ≤ 0.5Ω, hole copper density ≥ 98%, hole wall and plating bonding strength ≥ 1.5N / mm; After step (c) is completed, an X-ray inspection is performed to ensure that the lower aperture is filled without voids, and that the upper aperture is allowed to have a concave depth of ≤5 μm without cracks.
[0026] After adopting this solution, the micropore shape is controlled by adjusting the laser parameters to make the micropore shape "funnel-shaped". VIP holes can be produced using ordinary VCP copper-plated wire, avoiding the high requirements for production equipment and the problems of hole depression and molten core coating in conventional laser blind hole and laser micropore processes.
[0027] Example 2 proposed based on Example 1: Reference Figure 2-10 The laser drilling equipment includes a machine base 1, a laser 2 is provided at the upper end of the machine base 1, an optical system for focusing, expanding and collimating the laser beam is provided inside the laser 2, a connecting base 3 is fixedly installed outside the laser 2, and the lower end of the connecting base 3 is slidably set on the machine base 1, a spring 4 is fixedly connected between the machine base 1 and the connecting base 3, and two symmetrically distributed support plates 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the machine base 1.
[0028] A driving component 6 is provided in the machine base 1, and a connecting shaft 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the driving component 6. The connecting shaft 7 can be rotatably installed in the machine base 1. A servo motor 8 is fixedly installed on the machine base 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 7. A laser protection plate 9 is provided at the upper end of the machine base 1, and the laser protection plate 9 is located below the laser 2. One end of the laser protection plate 9 is inserted into the machine base 1 and can slide horizontally. It also includes a through-hole 10, which passes through the laser protection plate 9 and the machine base 1 from top to bottom.
[0029] The working diagram of the device can be referred to Figure 2 As shown, the substrate is placed on two supporting plates 5, and the laser 2 is used to drill holes in the substrate below.
[0030] The servo motor 8 drives the connecting shaft 7 to rotate, and the driving component 6 on the connecting shaft 7 rotates about the axis of the connecting shaft 7 and toward the connecting base 3. The driving component 6 can push the connecting base 3 to move horizontally, and the spring 4 is compressed, so that the connecting base 3 and the laser 2 move synchronously, and the horizontal position of the laser 2 can be adjusted, so that different positions of the substrate can be drilled. When the servo motor 8 is reversed, the elastic force of the spring 4 resets the connecting base 3, and thus resets the laser 2. Under this adjustment function, if the laser shield 9 blocks the laser emitted by the laser 2, the laser shield 9 can be pushed away from the laser 2.
[0031] Among them, the bottom of the driving component 6 is hinged with a laser reflector 11, and both sides of the driving component 6 are penetrated by a limit block 12, the limit block 12 is an iron block, one end of the limit block 12 can be inserted into the hinge shaft of the laser reflector 11, and an elastic sheet 13 is fixedly connected between the limit block 12 and the driving component 6. Electromagnets 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the driving component 6, and the electromagnets 14 are set toward the limit block 12. A support rod 15 is placed on the machine base 1. The lower end of the support rod 15 is hollow and one end is connected to the outside world. One end of the support rod 15 is fixedly installed There is a heat conductor 16, which has a hole for the laser beam to pass through. One end of the heat conductor 16 extends into the inner cavity of the lower end of the support rod 15. A piston 17 is slidably provided in the inner cavity of the lower end of the support rod 15. The piston 17 divides the inner cavity of the lower end of the support rod 15 into two independent spaces. An elastic member 18 is fixedly connected between the piston 17 and the heat conductor 16. A limit switch 19 is provided on one side of the piston 17. The limit switch 19 is used to control the on and off of the circuit of the electromagnet 14. The independent space on the side of the piston 17 facing the heat conductor 16 is filled with thermosensitive gas.
[0032] The heat conductor 16 is covered with an insulating sleeve 20. The inner side of the insulating sleeve 20 is open, and the heat conductor 16 is exposed to the outside air through the inner opening of the insulating sleeve 20. After the heat conductor 16 absorbs heat and heats up, the insulating sleeve 20 reduces the heat loss of the heat conductor 16 itself, allowing the heat conductor 16 to more completely transfer its heat to the heat-sensitive gas inside the support rod 15.
[0033] A vertical pipe 21 is fixedly installed on the machine base 1. The vertical pipe 21 is made of aluminum alloy. The friction coefficient of the inner wall of the vertical pipe 21 increases segmentally from top to bottom. The lower end of the vertical pipe 21 is opened. A fan 22 is installed on the machine base 1 facing the inner hole of the heat conductor 16. A driving mechanism is installed between the fan shaft of the fan 22 and the vertical pipe 21. The driving mechanism is used to drive the fan shaft of the fan 22 to rotate.
[0034] The driving mechanism includes a slider 23 slidably arranged in the vertical tube 21, the upper end of the interior of the vertical tube 21 is filled with vegetable wax 24, and the bottom of the slider 23 is fixedly connected to a driving bar 25 that runs through the bottom of the vertical tube 21. A first rotating shaft 26 is rotatably mounted on the vertical tube 21, and a driven wheel 27 is provided in the vertical tube 21. The driven wheel 27 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 26, and the driving bar 25 and the driven wheel 27 are tightly fitted and transmitted by friction. A second rotating shaft 28 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the vertical tube 21, and bevel gears 29 are installed at the opposite ends of the second rotating shaft 28 and the first rotating shaft 26. The two bevel gears 29 are meshed and the second rotating shaft 28 and the first rotating shaft 26 are transmitted through two bevel gears 29. A synchronous belt mechanism 30 is installed between the second rotating shaft 28 and the fan shaft of the fan 22.
[0035] The laser passes through the inner hole of heat conductor 16 and then strikes the substrate. Heat is generated during laser drilling. By placing heat conductor 16 outside the hole machined in the substrate, surrounding it, it quickly and completely absorbs the heat generated by laser drilling. Heat conductor 16 heats up and transfers the heat to the thermosensitive gas within support rod 15. The thermosensitive gas expands due to the heat and pushes piston 17 toward limit switch 19. Limit switch 19 triggers and controls the circuit closure of electromagnet 14. Electromagnet 14 is energized and applies an attractive force to stop block 12. One end of stop block 12 is inserted into the hinged shaft of laser reflector 11. The resulting impact sound alerts the operator, synchronizing the movement of laser reflector 11 and drive unit 6. Servo motor 8 is then activated, operating intermittently and in both forward and reverse directions. At this point, the substrate is in a pre-set state, indicating excessively high additional temperature and a significant heat accumulation effect, affecting normal drilling. Targeted cooling of the substrate is required.
[0036] When the servo motor 8 is working, it first drives the driving component 6 to move toward the connecting seat 3 and pushes the laser 2 to move horizontally. The laser emitted by the laser 2 is immediately absorbed by the laser protection plate 9. At the same time, the laser reflector 11 rotates synchronously. Subsequently, the laser emitted by the laser 2 passes through the through-hole 10 and shoots toward the inclined laser reflector 11. The laser is reflected by the laser reflector 11 to the vertical tube 21. The vertical tube 21 is heated and heated. The temperature is transferred to the vegetable wax 24 therein. The vegetable wax 24 is melted by the heat and drips onto the slider 23. The slider 23 is in the initial state. The slider 23 is in a stationary state (its gravity is less than the friction force it receives from the inner wall of the vertical tube 21). When the liquid vegetable wax 24 on the slider 23 accumulates to a certain amount, the slider 23 moves downward and drives the driving bar 25 to move downward synchronously. The driving bar 25 drives the driven wheel 27 to rotate, and cooperates with the transmission action of the two bevel gears 29 to drive the second rotating shaft 28 to rotate, and then drives the fan 22 to rotate through the synchronous belt mechanism 30, so that the fan 22 generates an airflow blowing toward the drilling position of the substrate, and directionally dissipates heat to the drilling position of the substrate. The airflow is from top to bottom, and the heat dissipation effect is good.
[0037] After cooling for a period of time, the temperature at the drilling position of the substrate returns to normal, the servo motor 8 reverses, and the laser continues to shoot towards the drilling position of the substrate, while the vegetable wax 24 in the vertical tube 21 is no longer heated, and the liquid vegetable wax 24 on the slider 23 no longer accumulates. At the same time, as the slider 23 moves down to the area with high friction on the inner wall of the vertical tube 21, the slider 23 remains stationary, the fan 22 no longer rotates, and the drilling position of the substrate does not need to continue to cool.
[0038] The drilling work is continued for a period of time, and the above work is repeated. The servo motor 8 rotates forward. Similarly, the fan 22 rotates and cools the drilling position of the substrate. The device continues to repeat the work until the drilling work is completed.
[0039] This drilling process, performed as a layered penetration process, suppresses heat accumulation, improves hole wall quality, and prevents carbonization. By drilling in stages (e.g., treating each layer of material separately), the interval between laser pulses increases the heat dissipation process, keeping the local temperature rise of the substrate within ΔT ≤ 5°C. This prevents high-temperature carbonization of organic materials like polyimide (PI), ensuring a hole wall roughness Ra ≤ 0.5μm.
[0040] The first drilling is done with low energy (e.g. 50% rated power) to pre-drill the hole, and then the energy is gradually increased to the target value to form a smooth funnel-shaped hole profile, thus avoiding hole edge collapse or residual glue at the bottom caused by a single high-energy impact.
[0041] The above drilling process is a layered penetration work. For multi-layer materials (such as copper-PI-copper structure), laser penetration can be performed in batches. The first time, the copper layer is penetrated (using 355nm UV laser); the second time, the PI layer is processed (switching to CO2 laser); and finally the bottom copper layer is opened, avoiding the problem of single drilling energy overload causing the bottom metal to splash or overheat.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
