Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of PCB board technology, specifically relating to a method for improving the hole position accuracy of a multi-level HDI board and the HDI board itself. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing use of small-sized portable electronic devices and high-density interconnects, the requirements for HDI boards are becoming more and more stringent. For example, multi-stage HDI boards with a stacked structure of N+M+N, where M represents the first laminated sub-board and N represents N laser-stacked layers, require N alignment holes.

[0003] The traditional method for creating alignment vias is as follows: a 6.0mm copper-free area is cut out of the target layer, and a 4.25mm diameter copper pad is designed in the center. The entire reference layer is a 6.0mm diameter copper-free area (see details). Figure 1 and Figure 2 This traditional approach has the following problems: the higher the laser overlay layer, the more alignment holes are required, the more space is occupied by external materials, and the larger the margin requirement becomes (see details). Figure 3 This affects the substrate cutting utilization rate, and the probability of incomplete alignment hole patterns is increasing (see details). Figure 4 This leads to increasingly poor alignment hole accuracy (greater than 1.0 mil). Summary of the Invention

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This invention provides a method for improving the hole position accuracy of alignment holes in multi-stage HDI boards, such as... Figure 7 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0043] (1) Design the arrangement of N sets of alignment hole patterns. Each set of alignment hole patterns includes four alignment hole patterns, which are distributed at the four corners of the HDI board. All alignment hole patterns at each corner are arranged with the principle of minimizing the board space occupied. See Figure 8(a) for details.

[0044] (2) Provide core board;

[0045] (3) Provide a multi-layer sub-board, wherein the multi-layer sub-board is stacked sequentially on both sides of the core board and formed into a mother board by pressing in one step;

[0046] (4) Drilling, electroplating, and pattern transfer are performed on the mother plate in sequence, and the first set of alignment hole patterns is made according to the pre-designed arrangement of N sets of alignment hole patterns; see Figure 8(b) for details.

[0047] (5) Laser layers are superimposed on both sides of the mother board to obtain a 1+M+1 layer sub-board. The first set of alignment holes required for the first superposition is drilled on the 1+M+1 layer sub-board according to the first set of alignment hole pattern. See Figure 8(c) for details.

[0048] (6) Drilling, electroplating, and pattern transfer are performed on the 1+M+1 layer sub-board in sequence, and the second set of alignment hole patterns is made according to the pre-designed N sets of alignment hole patterns; see Figure 8(d) for details.

[0049] (7) Laser layers are superimposed on both sides of the 1+M+1 layer sub-board to obtain the 2+M+2 layer sub-board. The second set of alignment holes required for the second superposition is drilled on the 2+M+2 layer sub-board according to the second set of alignment hole pattern.

[0050] (8) Repeat N times to obtain N+M+N multi-stage HDI boards, see Figure 8(e) for details.

[0051] In the above solution, the arrangement of the alignment hole pattern is creatively designed, which reduces the space occupied by the external data on the board, reduces the defect rate of incomplete alignment hole pattern, and ensures the alignment accuracy of multi-level HDI boards, thereby ensuring the overall yield and production cycle.

[0052] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the alignment hole pattern includes a circular target area, a middle annular area, and an outer annular area arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0053] The above solution allows for the use of a target drilling machine to align with the circular target area during the machining of alignment holes, thus obtaining the alignment holes. See details below. Figure 6 This improves drilling accuracy.

[0054] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the circular target area is 2.0 mm.

[0055] Based on the above scheme, by designing the diameter of the circular target area to be 2.0mm, the size of the alignment hole can be effectively reduced, resulting in a smaller space occupied by the external data on the board.

[0056] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the circular target area is made of copper.

[0057] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the outer annular region is 4.0 mm.

[0058] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the outer annular region is made of copper.

[0059] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate annular region is a copper-free region.

[0060] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, all the alignment hole patterns at each corner are arranged in a staggered array. See Figure 8(a) for details.

[0061] Based on the above solution, the space occupied by alignment holes on the board can be effectively reduced, the defect rate of incomplete alignment hole patterns can be reduced, the alignment accuracy of multi-level HDI boards can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the overall yield and production cycle.

[0062] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the alignment hole patterns at each corner are arranged adjacent to each other.
