Those skilled in the art will understand, both explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] With the continuous development of electronic technology, the integration level of consumer electronic products such as computers and communication devices is becoming higher and higher. Packaging methods using support frames to realize embedded chips have been greatly developed and applied in actual production, meeting the market needs for smaller, thinner, lighter, and more highly integrated electronic devices.
[0023] In conventional isolated power supply modules or devices, the transformers are relatively large in size due to the relatively large number of windings in the two inductors, the main inductor and the sub-inductor. Currently, transformers are generally fixed to package substrates using surface mounting, and although this type of manufacturing process is relatively mature, the need for secondary surface mounting not only increases the production process and production costs, but also results in a relatively large volume of the packaged product, which does not meet the current market needs for miniaturization, high integration, and high performance. Furthermore, due to the relatively large size of the transformer, conventional embedding processes cannot effectively embed the transformer inside the package substrate.
[0024] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention propose a method and structure for embedding a magnetic transformer, an electronic device, and a storage medium. By embedding the transformer coil in a package substrate and adding magnetic material around the coil to form a closed magnetic circuit, the inductance value of the inductor can be greatly improved, the input voltage frequency can be effectively reduced, the number of windings can be reduced, the DC resistance of the coil can be reduced, and the energy loss caused by the transformer can be reduced. At the same time, the size of the transformer can be reduced, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the isolated power supply module or device, which satisfies the requirements for board-level packaging quality of the inductor, reduces costs, and improves efficiency.
[0025] Hereinafter, a method and structure for embedding a magnetic transformer, an electronic device, and a storage medium according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] According to one aspect, as shown in FIG. 1, a method for embedding a magnetic transformer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S100 to S1100.
[0027] Step S100: A copper-clad substrate 100 is obtained.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, in this example, a double-sided copper-clad substrate 100 is used as a carrier for the package structure.
[0029] Step S200: The coil 200 is formed on the surface of the copper-clad substrate 100 by plating.
[0030] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, in this example, in order to form the coil 200 on the surface of the copper-clad substrate 100 by plating, the above step S200 includes the following four sub-steps.
[0031] 1. A dry film resist 110 is pressure-bonded to the surface of a copper-clad substrate 100. 2. The dry film resist 110 is exposed and developed to form some of the required coil openings 120. 3. Metal conductors are plated into the coil opening 120, and some of the metal conductors form the coil 200. 4. The dry film resist 110 is removed, and the copper foil exposed on the surface of the copper-clad substrate 100 is etched.
[0032] As shown in Fig. 3, first, dry film resist 110 is pressed onto the top and bottom surfaces of copper-clad substrate 100, then, as shown in Fig. 4, the necessary coil openings 120 are formed in dry film resist 110 by exposure and development, and as shown in Fig. 5, metal conductors are formed in each coil opening 120 by plating, and finally, as shown in Fig. 6, dry film resist 110 is removed, and the surface of copper-clad substrate 100 is etched to remove excess copper foil, leaving only coil 200 and the copper foil at the bottom of coil 200. Fig. 7 shows a plan view of coil 200 on copper-clad substrate 100.
[0033] Step S300: A prepreg 300 and a copper sheet 400 are pressure-bonded to the surface of the copper-clad substrate 100 to form a first substrate 500.
[0034] 8, in this example, a prepreg 300 (PP sheet) and a copper sheet 400 are sequentially placed on the upper and lower surfaces of a copper-clad substrate 100, and then the copper sheet 400, the prepreg 300, and the copper-clad substrate 100 are pressure-bonded to form a first substrate 500. Here, the coil 200 is covered with the prepreg 300.
[0035] Step S400: Drill holes in the first substrate 500 to form a number of first vias 510 penetrating the first substrate 500, and the number of first vias 510 are located inside and outside the coil 200.
[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, holes may be drilled, such as by mechanical milling or laser cutting, to form a number of first vias 510 that pass through the first substrate 500. Figure 10 shows a plan view of the coil 200 and the first vias 510.
[0037] Step S500: A magnetic material is filled into the first via 510 to form the first embedded magnet 600.
[0038] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the above step S500 specifically includes the following three sub-steps.
[0039] 1. A bonding film 540 is attached to the bottom of the first substrate 500. 2. Fill the first via 510 with magnetic material by silkscreen printing. 3. The bonding film 540 is removed, and the magnetic material is polished to form the first embedded magnet 600 flush with the surface of the first substrate 500.
[0040] By temporarily attaching the bonding film 540 to the bottom of the first substrate 500, it is possible to prevent the magnetic material from spilling out of the bottom of the first via 510 when filling the first via 510 with the magnetic material. Then, the magnetic material is filled into the first via 510 by silkscreen printing, thereby achieving the magnet structure required for the transformer. Finally, the bonding film 540 is removed, and excess magnetic material on the surface is removed by a method such as mechanical polishing, and the surface is made flush with the surface of the first substrate 500, thereby forming the first embedded magnet 600. FIG. 13 shows a plan view of the first embedded magnet 600 and the coil 200.
[0041] Step S600: A hole is drilled in the first substrate 500 to form a second via 520 penetrating the first substrate 500, and a metal layer 530 is formed on the inner wall of the second via 520 and on the surface of the first substrate 500.
[0042] 14, a second via 520 can be formed by mechanical drilling or laser drilling depending on the thickness of the first substrate 500 to serve as an interlayer via of the first substrate 500. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, a metal layer 530 is formed on the hole wall of the second via 520 and on the surface of the first substrate 500 by a chemical copper plating process to achieve interlayer conductivity.
[0043] Step S700: Conductive posts 700 and sacrificial blocks 800 are formed on the surface of the metal layer 530, and excess metal layer 530 is etched away.
[0044] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the above step S700 specifically includes the following four sub-steps:
[0045] 1. A photosensitive film 550 is pressed onto the surface of the metal layer 530. 2. Opening the photosensitive film 550 to form conductive post windows 560 and sacrificial block windows 570. 3. Plating conductive posts 700 into the conductive post windows 560 and plating sacrificial blocks 800 into the sacrificial block windows 570. 4. Remove the photosensitive film 550 and etch away the excess metal layer 530.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 16, a photosensitive film 550 is formed on the surface of the metal layer 530 by compression bonding, and then a conductive post window 560 and a sacrificial block window 570 are formed as needed. As shown in FIG. 17, a plating+ashing+etching process is used to form conductive posts 700 in the conductive post window 560 by plating, and a sacrificial block 800 in the sacrificial block window 570 by plating. Thereafter, the photosensitive film 550 is removed by ashing, and the excess metal layer 530 is etched away.
[0047] Step S800: The insulating layer 900 is pressed onto the surface of the first substrate 500 so that the insulating layer 900 covers the conductive posts 700 and the sacrificial blocks 800 and is flush with the surfaces of the conductive posts 700 and the sacrificial blocks 800.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 18, an insulating layer 900 is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of a first substrate 500 by compression bonding and thinning. The insulating layer 900 can be made of a resin film or PP307 containing glass fiber.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 19, step S900: etch the sacrificial block 800 to form a cavity 810.
[0050] Specifically, in this example, the above step S900 includes the following four sub-steps:
[0051] 1. A resist layer (not shown) is formed on the surface of the first substrate 500. 2. Open a window in the resist layer to expose the sacrificial block 800. 3. Etch the sacrificial block 800 to form a cavity 810. 4. Remove the resist layer.
[0052] Here, the resist layer may be a photosensitive dry film or the like. The resist layer is opened by exposure and development to expose the sacrificial block 800 and protect other portions of the surface of the insulating layer 900. Thereafter, the sacrificial block 800 is etched to form the cavity 810, and the resist layer is removed.
[0053] Step S1000: Fill cavity 810 with magnetic material to form second embedded magnet 1000. First embedded magnet 600 is connected to second embedded magnet 1000 to form a closed magnetic circuit, and the closed magnetic circuit and coil 200 form a magnetic transformer. A plan view of the magnetic transformer is shown in FIG.
[0054] As shown in Figure 20, after filling the cavity 810 with magnetic material, the surface of the magnetic material is flattened by mechanical thinning, making it flush with the surface of the insulating layer 900, forming a closed magnetic circuit, and a magnetic transformer is formed by a coil 200 consisting of a small amount of metal wire in the center of the closed magnetic circuit.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 22, step S1100: wiring 1100 and solder resist layer 1200 are formed on the surface of insulating layer 900, and package substrate 1300 is formed.
[0056] In this example, the above step S1100 specifically includes the following three steps.
[0057] 1. Wiring 1100 that is electrically connected to the conductive post 700 and the second embedded magnet 1000 is formed on the surface of the insulating layer 900. 2. A solder resist layer 1200 is formed on the surface of the insulating layer 900, and windows are opened in the solder resist layer 1200 to form windows and expose the wiring 1100. 3. Apply surface treatment to the wiring 1100 according to the window.
[0058] Here, by applying a photosensitive dry film, exposing it to light, developing it, plating it, and ashing it, wiring 1100 is formed on the surface of insulating layer 900 by plating, and wiring 1100 can be electrically connected to conductive post 700 and second embedded magnet 1000. After that, solder resist layer 1200 is formed on the surface of insulating layer 900, and windows are opened in solder resist layer 1200 to expose wiring 1100 and facilitate connection of wiring 1100 with external electronic elements. Finally, surface treatment is performed on the surface of wiring 1100, which serves to protect wiring 1100.
[0059] In the method for embedding a magnetic transformer according to the embodiment of the present invention, the coil 200 of the transformer is embedded in the package substrate 1300, and a magnetic material is added around the coil 200 to form a closed magnetic circuit, thereby significantly improving the inductance value of the inductance, effectively reducing the frequency of the input voltage, the number of windings, the DC resistance of the coil, and the energy loss caused by the transformer. At the same time, the size of the transformer can be reduced, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the isolated power supply module or device, thereby meeting the requirements for board-level packaging quality of the inductance, reducing costs, and improving efficiency.
[0060] Note that magnetic embedded transformer products are generally manufactured at the large substrate level, as shown in FIG. 23, but the above-mentioned method for embedding a magnetic transformer will only explain one of the magnetic transformer embedding structures when manufactured at the large substrate level.
