Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The utility model relates to a circuit board, in particular to a PCB board. [Background Technology]
[0002] The function of PCB vias is to achieve electrical connection and signal transmission between different layers through solder holes or connection holes on the PCB. These holes are enhanced in conductivity through processes such as electroplating to connect different circuit components or different PCB layers.
[0003] Vias are generally plated holes, that is, holes with metal plated on the hole wall. Plated holes can achieve electrical connections between conductive patterns on the inner layer, outer layer, or inner and outer layers of the PCB board. Filling holes in PCB boards is a complicated and laborious task. For example, it usually takes 4 hours to electroplating holes in ceramic boards, which is inefficient and has the risk of not being completely filled. Because the traditional copper plating hole filling process is very inefficient, when designing through holes, the hole diameter can only be reduced, which reduces the cross-sectional area of the conductive copper column, increases the on-resistance, reduces the thermal conductivity, and has a negative impact on product performance. For ceramic circuit boards, when the filled hole copper is subjected to high temperature shock, the tension of thermal expansion will also cause the hole to crack.
[0004] The invention with application number 201510506287.X discloses a method for manufacturing a PCB board and a PCB board, including the following steps: drilling a plug hole on a substrate; plating a first copper layer on the substrate surface and copper plating on the inner wall of the plug hole; filling the plug hole with resin until it protrudes from the plug hole opening; performing a material reduction treatment on the resin protruding from the opening so that the surface of the resin protruding from the opening is flush with the surface of the first copper layer; drilling a non-plug hole on the substrate; plating a second copper layer on the first copper layer and copper plating on the inner wall of the non-plug hole; transferring the substrate pattern; etching the substrate to form a conductive circuit. The PCB board manufactured by the above manufacturing method has a very clean interior of the non-plug hole that is too close to the plug hole. When the PCB board is tested for continuity, after the probe detects the non-plug hole, it can be in close contact with the conductive copper layer on the wall of the non-plug hole to conduct. The disadvantage of using resin to fill the copper-plated hole is that the resin cannot conduct electricity, and the heat dissipation performance of the conductive performance of the resin-filled via is poor. The thermal resistance of the on-resistance is large. In order to meet the requirements of larger current conduction and interlayer heat dissipation, the resin-filled copper-plated holes need to have a larger aperture, and the plating layer on the inner wall of the via must be thick enough, which reduces the efficiency of via electroplating and increases the cost of the PCB board.
