The invention relates to technologies in the field of printed circuit boards.
Background of the invention
Circuit boards are used to accommodate electronic or electrical components. PCBs are known in single and multi-layered design. Multilayer printed circuit boards have several electrical conductor layers which are separated from one another by means of insulating layers.
As a material for the conductor layers forming conductive layers copper is often used. Here, however, there is the problem that copper due to its natural material properties must first be treated on the surface side in order to enter into an adhesive connection with the electrically insulating material of the insulating layers in the subsequent compression of the conductor layers with the insulating layers.
Document US 2005/0178669 describes a method of galvanizing aluminum surfaces for a subsequent coating.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a semifinished product for a single or multilayer printed circuit board and a method for manufacturing, with which the possibilities for individual design of printed circuit boards for various applications are extended. In particular, adhesion problems between layer materials should be avoided.
This object is achieved by a method for producing a semifinished product for a single or multilayer guide plate according to the independent claim 1 and a semi-finished product according to the independent claim 9. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
The method for producing the semifinished product can be carried out as a method for producing a single-layer or multilayer printed circuit board, in particular by providing a step with which the external line layer is formed with printed conductor structures. As a result, a single or multilayer printed circuit board is then produced, which is based on the semi-finished product described and uses this as a kind of PCB base structure. The circuit board is formed with a via in the through hole.
While a single-layer printed circuit board has only one conductor layer or plane, a multilayer printed circuit board has several such layers or planes.
In the invention, it is provided that the outer conductor layer consists of aluminum. As a material, aluminum has the advantage that it optionally forms a well-adhering connection with materials which are usually used for insulating layers in printed circuit boards, for example resin materials such as epoxy, when the conductive layer and insulating layer are pressed together. In addition, aluminum has a lower weight compared to copper, which is often used in circuit boards. By means of the conductor layer of aluminum a direct bonding with aluminum wires is made possible.
The step of "metallizing" as used herein refers to forming a solderable surface layer capable of bonding well with a solder material during soldering. The metallization of the opening region and of the further opening region can be carried out in a common step or in separate metallization steps. It can also be provided in one embodiment to provide the opening area on the one hand and the other opening area on the other hand to form the respective solderable surface with different electrically conductive materials.
The preparation of the opening area on the one hand and the other opening area on the other hand is preferably carried out in separate steps. The preparation for the metallization corresponds to a kind of activation of the respective surface areas for the subsequent metallization, d. H. forming a solderable surface. Since the aluminum material is to be provided in the opening region and the material of the insulating layer is to be provided with an activation layer in the further opening region, it is preferably provided that the activation layers are produced from different materials which are respectively matched to the material in the opening region and in the further opening region.
As the material for the insulating layer, any materials can be used, as they are commonly used for printed circuit board production. These include in particular resin materials such as epoxy.
A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the opening area is provided during preparation for the metallization by means of chemical nickel plating with a nickel-containing activation layer. Chemical nickel plating differs from galvanic plating in that no current flow is used for deposition. Material mixtures with a predominant nickel content can be used, for example a nickel-gold alloy. A material advantageously used for chemical nickel plating of the aluminum surface in the opening region is zinc.
In an expedient embodiment of the invention can be provided that on the insulating layer, a further conductor layer made of aluminum, through which the passage opening extends, so that in the region of the passage opening, an additional opening portion is formed, which is associated with the further conductive layer , With the help of the further line layer, a further electrical line level is provided in the semifinished product. The additional opening areas thus created in the passage opening can be treated in terms of activating and metallizing as the opening areas associated with the line layer in the passage opening.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the further conductive layer is produced as a further outer layer. In this way, a semifinished product for a printed circuit board is formed, in which a central insulating layer is covered on both sides by line levels and in which a through-connection is formed.
Preferably, an alternative development of the invention provides that the further conductor layer is produced as an inner layer between the insulating layer and a further insulating layer. In this way, a semifinished product for a multilayer printed circuit board is formed, in which at least one line level is arranged lying inside between insulating layers.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention can be provided that the conductor layer and / or the further conductor layer are formed as a structured conductor layer made of aluminum with a conductor base structure. In contrast to the conductor layer with the conductor base structure may alternatively be provided that the conductor layer is formed unstructured, so that a kind of unstructured coating is formed on at least one of the flat outer sides of the insulating layer. Semi-finished products for multilayer printed circuit boards can combine structured and unstructured conductor layers.
A further development of the invention can provide that printed conductor base structure is produced as a basic structure for the power electronics. In this case, the conductor tracks preferably have a thickness of at least 100 μm. Conductor thicknesses of up to 400 microns or even more can be provided. Alternatively, the strip conductor base structure may be designed as a thin-film structure.
A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that is prepared on the line layer, a soldering area for metallization and the prepared soldering area is metallized by one or more electrically conductive materials are deposited in the prepared soldering area. The soldering area forms a solderable area on the outside surface of the conductor layer. The preparation and / or metallization of the soldering area can take place at the same time or with a time delay for preparing and / or metallizing the opening areas. For example, it may be provided to activate the soldering area in a method step together with the opening area, ie to form the activation layer. The subsequent metallization can also take place at the same time in one step for the opening area in the passage opening on the one hand and the soldering area on the conductive layer. Alternatively, however, separate steps are possible. With regard to the preparation and / or metallization, the explanations made in connection with the aluminum surfaces in the opening region of the passage opening apply correspondingly. Further solder regions may be provided on the further conductor layer, in particular if this is likewise formed outside.
