Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing copper foil substrates, particularly a method for spraying a tungsten disulfide coating on the plywood of a laminating jig used in the production process of the copper foil substrates. The coating has anti-stick and easy-to-clean properties. Therefore, when cleaning residual glue on the plywood, only a low-cutting-force nylon brush wheel is required to largely remove it. Small remaining glue spots can be removed by rinsing with room-temperature water, and residual water droplets on the plywood can be dried by simply blowing them with a blower at room temperature, thereby facilitating the reuse of the plywood. The present invention eliminates the need for release fluid to dissolve the colloid, as is conventionally done. In addition to being environmentally friendly and reducing production costs, it also facilitates the automated production of copper foil substrates. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and information, various electronic products or devices are constantly being introduced on the market. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are installed inside electronic products or devices for electronic components to be assembled. Electronic components with different functions or effects are soldered to the electronic circuits formed by the printed circuit boards, so that electronic products or devices can operate normally. With the widespread use of circuit boards, related process equipment manufacturers have also become more actively involved in research and development.

[0003] Circuit boards are generally categorized as rigid and flexible based on their flexibility. They can be divided into single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer boards based on the number of layers. Materials include paper-based copper foil substrates, composite substrates, fiberglass cloth copper foil substrates, flexible or rigid copper foil substrates, ceramic substrates, metal substrates, and thermoplastic substrates. Copper foil laminate (CCL) is an essential and critical base material in the circuit board manufacturing process. It is a laminate formed under high temperature and high pressure by laminating a prepreg (also known as a film) made by impregnating insulating paper, fiberglass cloth, or other fiber materials with resin with copper foil. Before processing, the prepreg is continuously wound to form a tape. After slitting and slicing, the cut sheets are stacked, heated to a certain temperature, and cured by pressing to form a substrate of the desired thickness. This substrate is then copper-clad on one or both sides, and then laminated and cured to form a copper foil substrate.

[0004] The pressing plate of the laminating jig for processing copper foil substrates is usually made of stainless steel. During the laminating process, the colloid inside the semi-cured adhesive sheet overflows from the copper foil machine base and remains on the pressing plate. The solidified colloid remaining on the pressing plate will contaminate the product and is not conducive to reuse. Therefore, the pressing plate must be cleaned. The standard operation for cleaning the residual glue is: (1) using a high-cutting force brush wheel to brush it off; (2) using high-temperature hot water for a rinse; (3) using a release fluid to dissolve the colloid; (4) using high-temperature hot air to solidify the release fluid remaining on the pressing plate. However, the aforementioned brush wheel causes great wear and tear on the pressing plate and reduces its service life, and heating water to a high temperature is extremely energy-consuming. Furthermore, the release fluid is a consumable material, which not only increases production costs but is also not environmentally friendly. The blower that provides high-temperature hot air consumes a lot of electricity and increases production costs. Regarding the above-mentioned shortcomings, those engaged in this industry need to study and solve them. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a copper foil substrate.

[0006] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a copper foil substrate, comprising: providing two copper foil sheets in a stacked state and an adhesive sheet disposed between the two copper foil sheets, wherein the two copper foil sheets and the adhesive sheet form a basic processing part; placing and fixing at least one basic processing part in a pressing jig comprising two clamping plates, wherein a tungsten disulfide coating is formed on the surfaces of the clamping plates, and during a pressurization process of the pressing jig, a colloid-rich substance in the adhesive sheet overflows onto the surfaces of the clamping plates; pressing and heating the basic processing part, and disassembling the pressing jig after the basic processing part is formed and removing it; and cleaning the solidified adhesive residue on the clamping plates of the pressing jig, wherein the cleaning process comprises brushing with a nylon brush wheel, washing with water at room temperature, and blowing off water droplets at room temperature. The plywood of the aforementioned pressing jig is sprayed with a tungsten disulfide coating, which has anti-stick and easy-to-clean properties. Therefore, when cleaning the residual glue on the plywood, only a low-cutting-force nylon brush wheel is needed to brush most of it away. The remaining small glue spots can be removed by rinsing with room-temperature water, and the remaining water droplets on the plywood can be dried by simply blowing them with a blower at room temperature, thereby facilitating the reuse of the plywood. The present invention reduces the operation of dissolving the colloid with release fluid as in the conventional technology. In addition to having the advantages of being environmentally friendly and reducing production costs, it is also more conducive to the production of copper foil substrates using an automated process.

[0007] Among them, the splint is made of mirror stainless steel.

[0008] The adhesive sheet is made of insulating paper or glass fiber cloth impregnated with resin.

[0009] The basic workpiece and at least one added layer workpiece can be placed in the pressing fixture for pressing and heating and baking operations. The added layer workpiece includes an adhesive sheet attached to the copper foil on either side of the basic workpiece, and a copper foil attached to the other side of the adhesive sheet.
