[0023] [Manufacturing method of radar board]

[0024] In the technical field of manufacturing radar boards, the thinner the thickness of the electroplated layer (such as a copper layer) at the antenna line generation position, the better the antenna signal receiving and transmitting function can be improved. However, the existing manufacturing method of radar boards often generates a relatively thin electroplated layer (such as a copper layer) at the antenna line generation position in advance, etches out the antenna line, and uses dry film protection, and then completes the via electroplating and etches out other transmission lines and other cumbersome steps to control the thickness of the electroplated layer (such as the thickness of the copper layer) at the antenna line generation position. However, the above-mentioned repeated electroplating and etching processes not only cause low production efficiency, but also cause low product yield.

[0025] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The embodiment discloses a manufacturing method of a radar board to manufacture a radar board 100, and the radar board 100 is a 77GHz radar board, but the utility model is not limited thereto. Wherein, the manufacturing method of the radar board comprises steps S100-S140: an electroplating step S100, a first dry film laying step S110, a copper reduction step S120, a second dry film laying step S130, and an etching step S140.

[0026] It should be noted that the manufacturing method of the radar board in the embodiment is used to manufacture a single radar board 100, but the utility model is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the utility model, the manufacturing method of the radar board can also be used to simultaneously manufacture a plurality of radar boards 100.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electroplating step S100 comprises: electroplating a metal copper on a substrate 1 to generate an electroplated layer 2 (that is, a copper layer), and the electroplated layer 2 has a first thickness H1 relative to a surface of the substrate 1. Wherein, as shown in Figure 3 The electroplated layer 2 has a first region 21, a second region 22 surrounding the outside of the first region 21, and a third region 23 surrounding the outside of the second region 22.

[0028] It is additionally noted that in other embodiments not shown in the present application, a via generation step is further included before the electroplating step S100, but the present application is not limited thereto. The via generation step includes generating a plurality of vias (not shown in the figure) on the substrate 1, but the positions of the plurality of vias can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs, which are not limited in the present application.

[0029] Further, the electroplating step S100 is to electroplate the metal copper to the substrate 1 and the plurality of vias to generate the electroplated layer 2 having the first thickness H1. In more detail, the first thickness H1 can be selected to be between 2010 microinches (µin) and 2310 microinches in the present embodiment, so that the plurality of vias can have sufficient electroplated layer thickness (i.e., copper layer thickness), but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in Figure 2 The surface of the substrate 1 defines a center point A, a longitudinal center axis R1, and a transverse center axis R2 perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis R1, and the longitudinal center axis R1 and the transverse center axis R2 intersect at the center point A. Specifically, the longitudinal center axis R1 and the transverse center axis R2 can divide the substrate 1 into four quadrants, and the position of the first area 21 can be in any one of the quadrants, which are not limited in the present application.

[0031] Next, as shown in Figure 4 The first dry film laying step S110 includes providing a first dry film 3, laying the first dry film 3 on the first area 21 and the third area 23, so that the second area 22 is not covered by the first dry film 3.

[0032] Further, after the first dry film 3 is laid on the first area 21 and the third area 23, the first dry film 3 can be pressed to the first area 21 and the third area 23 by a pressure of 4×10 5 Pa to 5×10 5 Pa and a temperature of 100 ℃ to 120 ℃, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0033] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The copper reduction step S120 includes reducing the metal copper of the second area 22, so that the first area 21 and the third area 23 have the first thickness H1, and the second area 22 has a second thickness H2.

[0034] In order to more clearly understand the present embodiment,Figure 6 The first dry film 3 is not shown in the figure. The first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2 have a difference, and the difference can be between 960 microinches and 1560 microinches, but the utility model is not limited thereto. In more detail, the ratio between the first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2 can be between 1:0.32 and 1:0.53.

[0035] Specifically, the copper reduction step S120 is to etch the second area 22 with an etching solution to reduce the metal copper of the second area 22, and to reduce the second area 22 from the first thickness H1 to the second thickness H2, but the utility model is not limited thereto. Among them, based on the total content of the etching solution being 100 wt%, the etching solution in this embodiment contains sulfuric acid with a content range of 1.71 wt% to 1.89 wt%, and hydrogen peroxide with a content range of 1.9 wt% to 2.1 wt%.

[0036] It should be additionally pointed out that the copper reduction step S120 in this embodiment is to reduce the metal copper of the second area 22 by the etching solution through multiple (such as four) etching procedures, and each etching procedure can reduce a thickness of 240 microinches to 390 microinches, but the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0037] Specifically, the second area 22 is the generation position of the antenna circuit, and the second thickness H2 can be between 750 microinches and 1050 microinches. Thus, the antenna circuit generated in the second area 22 can have good signal receiving and transmitting functions, but the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0038] Through the cooperation of the above-mentioned electroplating step S100, the first dry film laying step S110, and the copper reduction step S120, the manufacturing method of the radar board provided by the utility model embodiment can effectively simplify the cumbersome process in the prior art, while ensuring that the plurality of guide holes have sufficient electroplated layer thickness, and the generation position of the antenna circuit (that is, the second area 22) can also have a relatively thin electroplated layer thickness (that is, the second thickness H2).

[0039] As shown in Figures 7 to 9 The second dry film laying step S130 includes removing the first dry film 3, laying a second dry film 4 on the first area 21, the second area 22, and the third area 23, and exposing the second dry film 4 located in the first area 21 and the second area 22 to generate an antenna pattern 41.

[0040] It is to be noted that the second dry film laying step S130 further comprises: after the second dry film 4 is laid on the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23, vacuum suction is performed between the second dry film 4 and the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 within a predetermined time, and the predetermined time can be selected to be between 20 seconds and 40 seconds, so that the second dry film 4 is attached to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 without gaps, and then the second dry film 4 is pressed to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23, but the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0041] For example, in other embodiments of the application, the second dry film 4 can also be used to wet the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 with water (such as deionized water) so that the second dry film 4 can be attached to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 without gaps, and then the second dry film 4 is pressed to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23.

[0042] Further, the second dry film 4 in this embodiment is pressed to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 within a predetermined time by a pressure of 4x10 5 Pa to 5x10 5 Pa and a temperature of 50°C to 60°C, and the predetermined time can be selected to be between 35 seconds and 45 seconds, but the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the second dry film 4 is attached to the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23 by vacuum or wet attachment, which can make the second dry film 4 fill the difference between the first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2.

[0044] Therefore, after the second dry film 4 is pressed to the electroplated layer 2 (i.e. the first area 21, the second area 22 and the third area 23), gaps or bubbles can be avoided between the second dry film 4 and the electroplated layer 2, so that subsequent etching of the antenna pattern 41 on the second dry film 4 can be accurately performed.

[0045] Next, the etching step S140 comprises: etching the first area 21 and the second area 22 according to the antenna pattern 41 to generate an electroplated antenna layer 2a (such as Figure 10Specifically, the electroplated antenna layer 2a located in the second area 22 can be used to generate the antenna circuit.

[0046] Furthermore, in the etching step S140 , the first region 21 and the second region 22 are etched with an etching solution, and the etching solution in this embodiment may optionally include sodium chlorate (NaClO 3 ), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and copper chloride (CuCl 2 ), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0047] More specifically, the hydrogen chloride in this embodiment has an acidity value optionally ranging from 1.5 N (normality) to 2.5 N, and the copper ion content of the copper chloride in this embodiment may optionally range from 120 g / l to 160 g / l, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0048] Specifically, the electroplated antenna layer 2a includes a plurality of first circuit patterns 21a and a plurality of second circuit patterns 22a extending from the plurality of first circuit patterns 21a. The plurality of second circuit patterns 22a can be used to form the antenna circuits. Furthermore, the plurality of first circuit patterns 21a are located in the first region 21 and have the first thickness H1 relative to the surface of the substrate 1. Furthermore, the plurality of first circuit patterns 21a can be implemented in a ball grid array (BGA) package, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] Furthermore, the plurality of second line patterns 22a are located in the second region 22 and have the second thickness H2 relative to the surface of the substrate 1. Thus, after the antenna line is formed on the second line pattern 22a, it can have the optional signal transmission and reception function.

[0050] It should be noted that if Figure 10 As shown, after the etching step S140, the second dry film 4 can be removed to obtain the radar board 100. In addition, the radar board 100 obtained by the radar board manufacturing method can further undergo automated optical inspection (AOI) to ensure the quality of the radar board 100.

Wherein, the radar board 100 comprises a substrate 1, and an electroplated antenna layer 2a generated on a surface of the substrate 1. It should be additionally explained that the substrate 1 can be provided with a plurality of guide holes (not shown in the figure), but the positions of the plurality of guide holes can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs, and the utility model is not limited here.

[0053] Further, the substrate 1 has a working block 11, an antenna block 12 surrounding the outside of the working block 11, and a surrounding block 13 surrounding the outside of the antenna block 12. In the embodiment, the surrounding block 13 comprises an electroplated layer (such as a copper layer) and has a first thickness H1, and the first thickness H1 can be selected to be between 2010 micro inches (µin) and 2310 micro inches in the embodiment, but the utility model is not limited to this.

[0054] The electroplated antenna layer 2a is a copper layer, and the electroplated antenna layer 2a is generated on the working block 11 and the antenna block 12. Wherein, the electroplated antenna layer 2a comprises a plurality of first line patterns 21a and a plurality of second line patterns 22a respectively generated from the plurality of first line patterns 21a.

[0055] Further, the plurality of first line patterns 21a is located in the working block 11, and the plurality of second line patterns 22a is located in the antenna block 12. Specifically, the plurality of first line patterns 21a has the first thickness H1 relative to the surface of the substrate 1, and the plurality of second line patterns 22a has a second thickness H2 relative to the surface of the substrate 1.

[0056] More specifically, the ratio range between the first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2 can be selected to be between 1:0.32 and 1:0.53, the difference between the first thickness H1 and the second thickness H2 can be selected to be between 960 micro inches and 1560 micro inches, and the second thickness H2 is between 750 micro inches and 1050 micro inches, but the utility model is not limited to this.

[0057] As described above, the generated positions of the surrounding block 13 and the plurality of first line patterns 21a have the copper layer thickness of the first thickness H1, so that the plurality of guide holes possibly located thereon has sufficient copper layer thickness. Furthermore, the plurality of second line patterns 22a can be used to generate antenna lines. Thus, the antenna lines can have optional transceiving signal function after being generated on the second line patterns 22a.
