In this embodiment, the metal block 201 accommodated in the groove 301 has various functions in the circuit board, and can be set according to the actual use condition of the circuit board; for example, the metal block 201 is embedded in the circuit board, and can absorb the heat inside the circuit board to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the circuit board; of course, the metal block 201 may also be connected to a circuit in the circuit board to implement functions such as signal adjustment of the circuit board.
In this embodiment, when the circuit board is a multilayer circuit board, the groove 301 may be only disposed on the attachment layer 304, and then the metal block 201 is only embedded in the attachment layer 304; alternatively, the recess 301 extends into the circuit board, through the metal layer 303 and the core 302 of the circuit board.
In this embodiment, the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 are made of copper, but the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 may be made of other metal materials such as gold and silver.
In this embodiment, the surface layer metal 20 may be prepared in advance, and then the surface layer metal 20 is attached to the attachment substrate 10 to realize the connection between the surface layer metal 20 and the attachment substrate 10.
Preferably, the forming of the surface metal 20 on the attachment substrate 10 includes: the surface metal 20 is formed on the attachment substrate 10 by a plating process. The surface metal 20 is formed by the electroplating process, and compared with the manufacturing method of manufacturing the surface metal 20 in advance and then attaching the surface metal 20 to the attached substrate 10, the surface metal 20 can be prevented from wrinkling in the process of attaching the surface metal 20 to the attached substrate 10, and the surface metal 20 formed by the electroplating method is relatively uniform in thickness and easy to control in thickness.
In this embodiment, the metal block 201 is formed on the surface layer metal 20, and the metal block 201 may be manufactured in advance, and then the metal block 201 may be mounted on the surface layer metal 20. Preferably, the forming of the metal block 201 on the surface of the surface metal 20 facing away from the attachment substrate 10 includes: a plating resist film corresponding to the region outside the metal block 201 is formed on the surface metal 20 by a pattern transfer process, and then the metal block 201 is formed in the region outside the plating resist film by electroplating. The metal block 201 is formed in an electroplating mode, compared with a manufacturing mode that the metal block 201 is manufactured in advance and then the metal block 201 is installed on the surface layer metal 20, the connecting force between the metal block 201 and the surface layer metal 20 is improved, and the metal block 201 is prevented from falling off in the process of attaching the attached substrate 10 to the plate; in addition, the metal block 201 formed by electroplating has high dimensional accuracy.
Specifically, after the surface layer metal 20 is formed on the attached substrate 10, a plating resist is formed on the surface layer metal 20, and then a mask plate is covered on the plating resist, the mask plate having a light-transmitting area corresponding to the metal block 201; exposing the mask plate to expose the mask plate in the light transmission area, and removing the exposed anti-coating film through processes such as development and the like; electroplating metal on the surface metal 20, and forming metal only in the region during electroplating because the plating resistant film of the region corresponding to the exposed plating resistant film is removed; after that, the plating resist is removed, and the metal block 201 is formed.
In this embodiment, there are various methods of forming the groove 301 on the outer surface of the plate body 30, for example: the groove 301 may be formed on the outer surface of the plate body 30 by means of laser drilling; or by milling, the recess 301 is machined in the plate body 30.
The specific process of the circuit board processing method provided by the embodiment is as follows: providing an attached substrate 10 and a plate body 30; forming a surface metal 20 on the attached substrate 10 by electroplating; and then forming a plating resistant film outside the area where the metal block 201 needs to be manufactured by a pattern transfer process, electroplating metal on the surface layer metal 20, and forming the metal block 201 at the position without the plating resistant film on the surface layer metal 20. After or simultaneously with the above-described process, the groove 301 is formed on the outer surface of the plate body 30 by means of laser drilling or milling. After that, the plate body 30 and/or the attached substrate 10 are moved to attach the surface layer metal 20 to the outer surface of the plate body 30, and the position between the plate body 30 and the attached substrate 10 is properly set to accommodate the metal block 201 in the groove 301, so as to achieve the connection between the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30. After that, the attached substrate 10 is separated from the surface layer metal 20 to complete the processing of the circuit board.
In the circuit board processing method provided by this embodiment, the surface layer metal 20 is formed on the attached substrate 10, the attached substrate 10 bears the surface layer metal 20, and when the surface layer metal 20 is attached to the board body 30, the attached substrate 10 always supports the surface layer metal 20, so as to avoid the surface layer metal 20 from wrinkling, and improve the processing precision of the circuit board.
In this embodiment, before forming the surface layer metal 20 on the attachment substrate 10 and forming the metal block 201 on the surface of the surface layer metal 20 away from the attachment substrate 10, the method further includes: forming an intermediate metal layer 50 and a sacrificial layer 40 on the attached substrate 10, wherein the intermediate metal layer 50 is located between the sacrificial layer 40 and the attached substrate 10; the surface metal 20 is formed on the sacrificial layer 40. The separating the attached substrate 10 from the surface metal 20 includes: separating the surface metal 20 from the intermediate metal layer 50. The surface layer metal 20 is prevented from being directly connected with the attached substrate 10, and the surface layer metal 20 and the attached substrate 10 are prevented from being difficult to separate.
The sacrificial layer 40 may be made of an inorganic material such as a nickel alloy, or the sacrificial layer 40 may be made of another organic material; the thickness of the sacrificial layer 40 is small. The adhesion between the sacrificial layer 40 and the intermediate metal layer 50 and the surface metal 20 is smaller than the adhesion between the attachment substrate 10 and the intermediate metal layer 50, and the adhesion between the sacrificial layer 4 and the intermediate metal layer 50 and the surface metal 20 is smaller than the adhesion between the surface metal 20 and the plate body 30; when the attached substrate 10 is peeled off from the plate body 30, the intermediate metal layer 50 and the surface metal 20 are separated first.
Specifically, the intermediate metal layer 50 may also be formed on the attachment substrate 10 by means of electroplating; the specific process can be as follows: firstly, forming an intermediate metal layer 50 on the attached substrate 10 in an electroplating mode, and then forming a sacrificial layer 40 on the intermediate metal layer 50; after which a surface metal 20 is formed on the sacrificial layer 40 by means of electroplating.

It is noted that after the surface metal 20 is separated from the intermediate metal layer 50, the sacrificial layer 40 may remain on the surface metal 20 and/or the intermediate metal layer 50; when the sacrificial layer 40 remains on the surface metal 20, the sacrificial layer 40 needs to be removed by acid cleaning or other methods to prevent the sacrificial layer 40 from affecting the subsequent processing.
In the method for processing a circuit board according to this embodiment, the surface metal 20 is attached to the outer surface, and before the metal block 201 is accommodated in the groove 301, the method further includes: the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 are browned. The surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 are browned before the surface layer metal 20 is attached to the plate body 30, so that the joining force between the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 and the plate body 30 can be improved.
Specifically, the browning treatment may include cleaning the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 with an acid solution, and after the cleaning, a rugged structure is formed on the surfaces of the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201, so that the contact areas of the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 and the plate body 30 are increased, and the coupling force between the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30 is further increased, as compared with the surface layer metal 20 and the metal block 201 which are not subjected to the browning treatment.
The circuit board processing method provided by the embodiment further includes, before separating the attachment substrate 10 from the surface layer metal 20: the attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30 are pressed so that the surface layer metal 20 is completely attached to the upper surface of the plate body 30. The attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30 are pressed, so that the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30 are completely attached to avoid the insufficient connection force between the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30 caused by the partial contact of the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30, and the falling off of the surface layer metal 20 is avoided.
Further, the attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30 are heated while pressing the attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30. To further improve the coupling force between the skin metal 20 and the plate body 30.

Specifically, a protective film may be formed on the surface layer metal 20, a mask plate having a light shielding portion with the same shape as the surface layer circuit is covered on the protective film, and then the mask plate is exposed to expose the protective film except the light shielding portion; then removing the exposed light-shielding part by the processes of development and the like; finally, the surface layer metal 20 without the light shielding part is removed by an etching process, and a surface layer circuit can be formed.

After or simultaneously with the above-described process, the groove 301 is formed on the outer surface of the plate body 30 by means of laser drilling or milling. After that, the plate body 30 and/or the attached substrate 10 are moved to attach the surface layer metal 20 to the outer surface of the plate body 30, and the position between the plate body 30 and the attached substrate 10 is set reasonably to accommodate the metal block 201 in the groove 301 to realize the connection between the surface layer metal 20 and the plate body 30; the bonding of the surface layer metal 20 to the outer surface of the plate body 30 includes pressing the attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30, and simultaneously heating the pressed attached substrate 10 and the plate body 30.
