Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In order to solve the problem of low wiring density in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides a brand-new solution, a novel multistage plating-preventing structure 1 with a partial plating-resisting function is plugged into the through hole 3, and then conventional copper deposition electroplating is carried out on the through hole 3, so that an electroplated layer can be plated on at least three hole walls of the through hole 3 and electroless plating can be carried out on the residual hole walls, thereby realizing a multilayer network of the same through hole 3.
For convenience of description, for the through-hole 3 to be made with a multilayer network, the hole wall of the through-hole 3 is hereinafter divided into a partition of a pseudo-metallized hole wall and a partition of a pseudo-non-metallized hole wall which are alternately distributed in the axial direction or the radial direction thereof, and the number of the partitions of the pseudo-metallized hole wall is plural (i.e., not less than three).
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 for being plugged into a through hole 3 to be partially metallized, wherein the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 includes a hard inner tube 11, and a tube wall of the hard inner tube 11 is axially and/or radially divided into a first tube wall partition and a second tube wall partition which are distributed in a crossing manner;
Each first pipe wall partition corresponds to each to-be-metallized hole wall partition of the through hole 3 one by one, and each first pipe wall partition is provided with a hollowed-out structure 13 for circulating copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine;
the second pipe wall partitions are in one-to-one correspondence with the non-metallic pore wall partitions of the through hole 3, and the outer side wall of each first pipe wall partition is respectively wrapped with a plating preventing layer 12 for preventing the corresponding non-metallic pore wall partition from contacting copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the "one-to-one correspondence" means that the dimensions and positions of the two dimensions and positions are kept substantially matched, so as to ensure that when the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is plugged into the through hole 3, the plating preventing layer 12 wrapped around the periphery of each second pipe wall partition can be in a good integral bonding state with the non-metalized hole wall partition of the through hole 3 at the corresponding position respectively.
It can be understood that when the through hole 3 is plugged, the periphery of each first pipe wall partition of the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1 is not wrapped by the plating prevention layer 12, and the pipe wall of each first pipe wall partition is provided with the hollow structure 13, so that the copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine can pass through each first pipe wall partition and be in partition contact with each pseudo-metalized hole wall of the through hole 3 to form an electroplated layer on the surface of the metal deposition/electroplating liquid medicine. Meanwhile, the periphery of each second pipe wall partition of the multistage plating prevention structure 1 is wrapped with a plating prevention layer 12, and the outer side wall of the plating prevention layer 12 can keep a lamination state with the non-metallic pore wall partition of the through hole 3, so that when the through hole 3 is completely immersed in copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine, the plating prevention layer 12 can block the copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine, so that the copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine is prevented from being in contact with the non-metallic pore wall partition of the through hole 3, and the non-metallic pore wall partition surface of the through hole 3 cannot be plated with an electroplated layer. Therefore, by using the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1, at least three parts of plating layers separated from each other can be realized on the inner wall of the same through hole 3, and as each part of plating layer can be used for connecting different signals, the through hole 3 realizes multi-layer network manufacturing, and compared with the prior art, the wiring density is greatly improved.
In this embodiment, in the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1, the plating preventing layers 12 may be distributed on the outer side wall of the hard inner tube 11 at intervals along the axial direction of the through hole 3 (as shown in fig. 1), may be distributed along the radial direction of the through hole 3 (as shown in fig. 2), and may be distributed along the axial direction and the radial direction of the through hole 3 at intervals respectively. In practical applications, the distribution design of the matched plating resist 12 can be selected according to the network connection requirements of the through holes 3.
In an alternative embodiment, the rigid inner tube 11 is a rigid plastic, referred to as a stiffer plastic. Because the hard inner pipe 11 is hard plastic, the hard plastic has good supporting performance due to the fact that the hardness of the hard plastic is high, and the whole length of the multistage plating-preventing structure 1 can be kept in a stable state in the hole plugging process, the multistage plating-preventing structure 1 can be conveniently and rapidly plugged into the through hole 3, the plating-preventing layer 12 and the non-metal hole wall partition of the through hole 3 can be guaranteed to have high alignment degree, and the hole plugging precision is improved. Illustratively, the rigid plastic is PC (polycarbonate) material or AS (styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer) material.
For the plating resist effect, the plating resist layer 12 may be made of any material such as non-conductive plastic, so long as it cannot penetrate the copper deposition/plating solution to cause the copper deposition/plating solution to contact the inner wall of the through hole 3 at the corresponding position.
To promote conformability, the plating resist 12 is illustratively formed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion exceeding a predetermined threshold, and thermal expansion of the plating resist 12 typically occurs at higher temperatures. Based on this, after the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is plugged into the through hole 3, the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 can be heated to cause the plating preventing layer 12 to thermally expand, so that the fit degree of the plating preventing layer 12 and the non-metal-like hole wall partition of the through hole 3 is improved, and the plating preventing effect on the non-metal-like hole wall partition is further improved.
Still further exemplary, the plating resist 12 may be a dry film layer in particular for improved manufacturing efficiency. Based on this, in order to manufacture the multistage plating preventing structure 1 having the plating preventing layer 12 in the outer partial area of the hard inner tube 11, a dry film layer may be coated on the entire outer side wall of the hard inner tube 11 in advance, and then the dry film layer in the partial area may be selectively removed, so that the multistage plating preventing structure 1 having different selective multistage plating preventing functions may be manufactured simply, rapidly and accurately. Of course, in order to ensure good adhesion of the dry film layer to the non-metallized hole wall partition of the through hole 3, the thickness of the dry film layer can be adjusted to adapt to the through hole 3 with the current size, and optionally, the thickness of the dry film layer is 100um-500um.
In order to further improve reusability of the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1, a designated area of the hard inner tube 11 and the plating prevention layer 12 is coated with a nonpolar material, the designated area being a non-contact surface of the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1 which is not in contact with the wall of the through hole 3 in a state of being plugged into the through hole 3. When immersed in the copper deposition/electroplating liquid medicine, the nonpolar material can avoid the corrosion of the surface of the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1 or the formation of an electroplated layer caused by the chemical reaction between the surface of the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1 and the liquid medicine.
Referring to fig. 3 to 5, the embodiment of the invention further provides a method for manufacturing a via hole with a multilayer network, which includes the steps of:
Step 101, drilling a through hole 3 on the printed circuit board 2.
The hole wall of the through hole 3 is divided into a quasi-metallized hole wall partition and a quasi-non-metallized hole wall partition which are distributed in a crossed manner along the axial direction and/or the radial direction, and the number of the quasi-metallized hole wall partitions is multiple.
Specifically, the printed circuit board 2 can be obtained by laminating and laminating according to the conventional procedure, and then the through hole 3 is drilled on the printed circuit board 2.
Step 102, plugging the multi-stage plating-preventing structure 1 into the through hole 3, so that the outer side walls of the plating-preventing layers 12 of all parts are respectively attached to the partition of the non-metal-like hole wall at the corresponding position.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the overall length of the hard inner tube 11 of the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is equal to the overall depth of the through hole 3, and the partition mode of the hard inner tube 11 is exactly the same as the partition mode of the inner wall of the through hole 3, so that when the through hole 3 is completely plugged in, the plating preventing layer 12 of the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 and the partition of the non-metallized hole wall of the through hole 3 are completely aligned and attached, so that the partition of the non-metallized hole wall of the through hole 3 is non-metallized.
The multistage plating prevention structure 1 and the through hole 3 are manufactured in a mode of completely matching the sizes, so that the difficulty and the complexity of the control of the hole plugging depth are avoided in the hole plugging operation, and the multistage plating prevention structure 1 is only needed to be plugged into the through hole 3 until the end part is basically leveled.
And 103, carrying out copper deposition electroplating on the through holes 3 plugged into the multi-stage anti-plating structure 1 to form electroplated layers on the surface of each pseudo-metallized hole wall partition of the through holes 3.
After the multi-stage plating-preventing structure 1 is plugged, the partition of the non-metallic pore wall of the through hole 3 is blocked by the plating-preventing layer 12, and the partition of the non-metallic pore wall is not blocked, so that the partition of the non-metallic pore wall of the through hole 3 can not form a plating layer after copper deposition plating, and the partition of the non-metallic pore wall of the through hole 3 forms a plating layer, and meanwhile, the number of the partitions of the non-metallic pore wall is at least three, so that the through hole 3 with a multi-layer network is manufactured.
It should be noted that, because the whole multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is a hollow structure, in the copper deposition electroplating process, copper deposition/electroplating chemical water can smoothly pass through the middle gap of the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 to realize good exchange so as to ensure the thickness uniformity and flatness of the electroplating layer on the partition surface of each pseudo-metallized pore wall.
In an alternative embodiment, the plating resist 12 is made of a material with a thermal expansion coefficient exceeding a preset threshold, the hard inner tube 11 is made of a material with a thermal expansion coefficient lower than the preset threshold, and both axial ends of the outer side wall of each second tube wall partition of the hard inner tube 11 are respectively provided with a blocking structure for preventing the plating resist 12 from expanding axially along the through hole 3. At this time, the method for manufacturing the through hole 3 further includes heating the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 after the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is plugged into the through hole 3, wherein the expansion rate of the hard inner tube 11 is within the allowable error range due to the low expansion coefficient, and the plating preventing layer 12 is limited by the blocking structure and cannot expand along the axial direction of the through hole 3 and can only expand along the radial direction of the through hole 3, so that the degree of adhesion between the plating preventing layer 12 and the corresponding partition of the pseudo-non-metalized hole wall is improved.
Step 104, removing the multi-stage plating prevention structure 1.
In practical application, if the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 does not affect the normal use of the subsequent printed circuit board 2, the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 in the through hole 3 can be reserved, and no additional removing operation is performed.
Of course, the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 may be removed selectively, and different removing modes may be adopted according to the specific material of the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Two general ways of removing the multi-stage plating resist structure 1 are provided, namely, pushing the multi-stage plating resist structure 1 out of the through hole 3 by using an external tool, or manually pulling the multi-stage plating resist structure 1 out of the through hole 3 by hand or by using an external tool.
When the plating preventing layer 12 is a dry film layer, the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 can be removed by dissolving and removing the dry film layer after copper deposition electroplating is completed until the multi-stage plating preventing structure 1 is separated from the through hole 3 and then automatically falls off. Wherein, the dry film layer can be removed by dissolving with 5% NaOH alkaline liquid medicine. The removing mode of the multistage plating-preventing structure 1 has the advantages of being simple in operation, low in difficulty, high in working efficiency and low in cost, and the multistage plating-preventing structure 1 and the inner wall of the through hole 3 are not damaged because no action occurs between the multistage plating-preventing structure 1 and the inner wall of the through hole 3 in the removing operation process.
In summary, according to the method for manufacturing the through hole 3 with the multilayer network provided by the embodiment of the invention, the multilayer network can be manufactured in the same through hole 3 only by plugging the matched multistage plating prevention structure 1 into the through hole 3 and then carrying out copper deposition electroplating, and compared with the prior art, the wiring density of a PCB (printed circuit board) can be effectively improved.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a PCB, which comprises a through hole 3 with a multilayer network, wherein the through hole 3 is manufactured according to the manufacturing method. The through hole 3 of the PCB is manufactured by the above method, and thus has a high wiring density.
