Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a PCB structure, a PCB board preparation method and a PCB board, and belongs to the technical field of circuit boards. Background Art

[0002] Driven by new technologies and application scenarios such as 5G and AI, PCBs are developing towards higher layers, denser circuits, and stricter signal integrity. The N+M double-pressing structure (for example, a 32-layer board is first made into two blind-via boards, a 20-layer board and a 12-layer board, and then the two blind-via boards are pressed together to form a 32-layer final pressed PCB board) is an important trend in the current industry to cope with complex designs and high-performance requirements.

[0003] Backdrilled copper residue can degrade signal integrity at high speeds due to parasitic effects, reflections, scattering, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The industry primarily addresses this by reducing the length of the backdrilled copper residue. However, for N+M structures, backdrilled holes in blind vias are often plugged with resin to prevent pressure loss and voids caused by the polypropylene (PP) being squeezed into the backdrilled holes during secondary lamination. Consequently, the resin can affect the parasitic effects, reflections, scattering, and EMI of the backdrilled copper residue. Furthermore, the backdrilled holes in the final press-fit PCB, formed by laminating two blind vias together, are processed last, leaving air on one side of the backdrilled copper residue. Therefore, the backdrilled copper residue is affected by the air. The dielectric constant of resin is above 4, while that of air is 1. Therefore, the signals are affected differently by resin and air, resulting in inconsistent signal performance on the blind via and final press-fit boards, which in turn degrades signal integrity.

[0004] The current industry often considers reducing the length of backdrilled copper residue when improving signal integrity, ignoring the impact of different media in the backdrilled hole. Summary of the Invention
