Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic component testing and manufacturing, and more specifically, to a circuit board simulating BGA mounting effect. Background Art

[0002] BGA (Ball Grid Array) packaging technology is widely used in modern electronic products, especially in the field of integrated circuit packaging. Due to its good electrical performance and heat dissipation performance, BGA packaging is widely used in high-density and high-performance electronic products. After the small BGA chip is mounted, in some application scenarios, especially in the application on FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board), underfill glue is used to fill and protect the bottom of the BGA. This filling process helps to enhance the mechanical strength of the chip, improve heat conduction and increase the overall reliability.

[0003] However, the existing methods for detecting the underfill effect of adhesives on the bottom of BGA chips have some significant drawbacks:

[0004] High cost: Directly using BGA chips for testing requires consuming a large number of chips and circuit boards, which poses high requirements for cost control and increases the overall testing cost.

[0005] Complex process: The existing methods need to go through multiple steps, such as glue filling, curing, slicing and microscopic observation, to observe the underfill effect at the bottom of the BGA chip. This not only increases the workload, but also prolongs the testing time and reduces the testing efficiency.

[0006] Unintuitive observation: Due to the structural characteristics of the BGA chip package, the filling process and filling effect are difficult to directly observe. Indirect analysis must be relied on through means such as slicing, which makes the observation process complex and unintuitive, and it is difficult to quickly obtain the required test results. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a method and device for making a circuit board simulating BGA mounting effect. By using a transparent glass substrate to replace the BGA chip, the filling process and final effect of the adhesive at the bottom of the BGA can be directly observed, the testing cost is reduced, the testing process is simplified, and the intuitiveness and accuracy of the testing are improved.

[0009] A circuit board simulating BGA mounting effect, including the following structures:

[0010] A circuit board;

[0011] A glass substrate, which is disposed above the circuit board;

[0012] Solder balls, which are located between the circuit board and the glass substrate.

[0015] Preferably, the solder balls are evenly distributed in the BGA pad area of the circuit board.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] A circuit board simulating the BGA mounting effect, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, includes the following structures:

[0030] Circuit board 1;

[0031] Glass substrate 2, which is arranged above circuit board 1;

[0032] Solder balls 3, which are located between circuit board 1 and glass substrate 2.

[0033] To further optimize the above solution, the size of glass substrate 2 matches the size of the BGA pads on circuit board 1.

[0034] To further optimize the above solution, glass substrate 2 is made of a transparent material and is used to directly observe the filling process and effect of the adhesive at the bottom of the BGA chip.

[0035] To further optimize the above solution, solder balls 3 are evenly distributed in the BGA pad area of circuit board 1 and are used to simulate the soldering effect of the BGA chip.

[0036] To further optimize the above solution, after solder balls 3 are melted, glass substrate 2 squeezes solder balls 3 by its own gravity, so that glass substrate 2 fits with the BGA pad area on circuit board 1.

[0037] To further optimize the above solution, the material selection and structural design of circuit board 1 and glass substrate 2 ensure the matching of the thermal expansion coefficients at different temperatures and avoid stress damage during the heating process.

[0038] To further optimize the above solution, circuit board 1 and glass substrate 2 go through two heating processes to make solder balls 3 evenly distributed and form a stable soldering connection.

[0039] To further optimize the above solution, the fitting area between glass substrate 2 and circuit board 1 has good flatness to ensure the stability and uniformity of the soldering process.

[0040] To further optimize the above solution, position marks for fixing the glass substrate 2 are provided in the BGA pad area on the circuit board 1 to ensure the accurate positioning of the glass substrate 2.

[0041] The specific manufacturing steps are as follows:

[0042] Cut the glass substrate 2 with reference to the BGA chip size so that the glass substrate 2 matches the pad size of the circuit board 1;

[0043] Bake the circuit board 1 in an oven at 130 °C for 2 hours to remove the moisture inside the circuit board 1 and avoid delamination of the circuit board 1 during the subsequent heating process;

[0044] Use a printing mold to print solder paste onto the BGA pads of the circuit board 1. The thickness of the printing mold is selected according to the height of the solder balls at the bottom of the BGA chip;

[0045] Place the circuit board 1 printed with solder on a heating table at a constant temperature of 220 °C for solder melting operation;

[0046] Place the cut glass substrate 2 on the pad area after solder melting;

[0047] Place the circuit board 1 with the glass substrate 2 on a heating table at a constant temperature of 230 °C to melt the solder again, so that the glass substrate 2 squeezes the molten solder balls 3 downward under its own gravity;

[0048] Remove the circuit board 1 from the heating table and wait for the solder and the circuit board 1 to cool down to room temperature.

[0049] In summary, this application uses a transparent glass substrate 2 to replace the BGA chip, which has a low cost, and can directly observe the filling process and the final filling effect of the adhesive at the bottom of the BGA chip, reducing the subsequent processes of glue filling and slicing.
