AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the flexible circuit boards used in medical ultrasound equipment have increased thickness and decreased flexibility due to the whole board electroplating, which cannot meet the requirements of use in narrow spaces and high bending, and also increases material costs and process complexity.

Method used

The method involves drilling non-through holes in the upper circuit and the insulating layer, shielding them, opening electrical connection channels in the insulating layer and filling them with conductive medium, and selectively electroplating only the exposed areas of the lower circuit to form a conductive structure, thus avoiding the thickening of the surfaces of the upper and lower circuits.

Benefits of technology

It maintains the overall thickness and flexibility of flexible circuit boards, reduces material costs and process complexity, improves manufacturing yield and product consistency, and is suitable for the use requirements of medical ultrasound equipment.

Abstract

本申请公开一种柔性电路板导通孔制作方法及医疗超声设备用柔性电路板。该方法先提供包含上层电路、下层电路及中间绝缘层的柔性基板,在上层电路与绝缘层上加工非贯通孔,孔底止于下层电路表面以露出局部区域。随后对上层电路上表面非孔口区域及下层电路下表面进行遮挡处理,在绝缘层内开设贯穿的电气连接通道并填充导电介质,形成从外部电源至孔底下层电路的电气连接通道。之后将基板置入电镀液后,仅通过通道对下层电路暴露区施加电镀电压,使金属离子从孔底向上沉积,直至与上层电路相接形成导通结构。可避免金属离子附着于电路表面,不增加电路板整体厚度,保持原有柔韧性,适配医疗超声设备狭小空间与高弯曲度的使用需求。
