For a multilayer flexible circuit board, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for detecting defects of a flexible circuit board, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, including:
in step S10, a first pattern is obtained by opening the cover on the first wiring board.
As shown in fig. 2, the first wiring board includes a polyimide film (PI) 101 and a wiring 102 before the cover opening, and as shown in fig. 3, a cover opening frame line 201 is a minimum cover opening range, and a first pattern is a pattern circled by the cover opening frame line 201.
In step S20, the first circuit area exposed in the first pattern is blocked to obtain a second pattern.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, in the uncapped region 202, the first circuit area 203 is a circuit on the second circuit board, and in the process of preparing the second circuit board, quality detection is already performed on the second circuit board to ensure production yield, so that after the laminating process, the circuit detection is not required to be performed on the first circuit area exposed by the uncapping, and the detection of the area is skipped by shielding the first circuit area.
In step S30, the first wiring board is detected.
In the present embodiment, step S30 includes:
step S301 detects a second circuit area on the first circuit board.
In this step, the detection of the first circuit board includes two parts: firstly, detecting the manufacturing condition of a second circuit area 102 of a first circuit board; and secondly, detecting the waste tearing condition of the uncovering area of the first circuit board.
Step S302, automatic optical detection is carried out on the first circuit board. So as to obtain the yield information of the second circuit area on the first circuit board and the waste tearing yield of the cover opening area on the first circuit board.
In a specific embodiment, the circuit board detection method can be selected according to actual needs, for example, an image of the circuit board is obtained, and since the flexible circuit board area to be detected only contains PI and copper, the image of the area to be detected can be subjected to binarization or critical value calculation processing to obtain a black-and-white image, and the black-and-white image is compared with a reference standard image to realize the detection process.
Wherein, the first circuit area is on the second circuit board; the first wiring board is laminated over the second wiring board.
The production process of the multilayer flexible circuit board comprises the following steps: exposing, developing and etching each layer of flexible circuit board to obtain an intermediate circuit board; laminating the multilayer flexible circuit board; a window (decap) is opened on the outer layer circuit board to expose part of the circuit pattern of the inner layer circuit board.
After the cover opening process, 1, detecting the cover opening part to confirm that the waste tearing condition meets the production standard; 2. and detecting the circuit area of the outer layer circuit board after the cover is opened to confirm that the circuit production meets the standard.
In this embodiment, after the lamination and cover opening process of the multilayer flexible circuit board, the circuit of the cover opening area is shielded, and meanwhile, the waste material tearing condition of the cover opening part and the circuit area of the outer layer circuit board after cover opening are detected, so that two times of circuit process detection in the prior art are combined, and the detection efficiency is improved.
As an optional implementation manner, after step S10, the method further includes:
step S11, adhesive overflow is laminated at the joint between the first circuit board and the second circuit board.
And step S12, covering the overflowed glue.
In this embodiment, after the decap is torn off, the glue overflow caused by lamination remains on the edge of the exposed second circuit, the first circuit board and the second circuit board have a height difference, and since the black-and-white image generated by the glue overflow is different from the design data, the glue overflow part is covered to avoid the occurrence of false detection due to excessive defect confirmation points or detection interference.

Because the purpose to the regional detection of uncapping lies in, whether detecting tearing of uncapping edge waste material PI accords with production standard, has under the condition that waste material copper exists on the waste material PI that is torn away on first circuit board, if the residual part has waste material copper, at this moment, the copper in second circuit district participates in the detection and can causes the interference, consequently sets up in advance in AOI software and detects the shielding region, shelters from all copper regions in the second circuit board promptly to reduce and detect the interference.
As an alternative embodiment, step S30 includes:
in step S303, the difference region between the first pattern and the second pattern is set as a third pattern.
Step S304, the copper plate and/or the thin film in the third pattern are detected.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, AOI detection may detect the third pattern 103 through a black-and-white image in the image, assuming that the second circuit board has only a thin film in the third pattern 103, if the detection result is that a copper plate exists in the third pattern 103, it indicates that the scrap is torn off and remains, and the production standard is not met; if the second circuit board only has a copper plate in the third pattern 103, if the detection result is that a thin film exists in the third pattern 103, it indicates that the scrap is torn off and remains, and the production standard is not met. Whether the product is qualified or not is judged by detecting the existence of the copper plate/PI, the detection process is rapid, and the efficiency is high.
As an optional implementation manner, step S304 further includes:
and if the third pattern on the second circuit board contains the thin film material and the copper plate, comparing the detection image with the reference image, and if the comparison result is inconsistent, outputting the detection result as unqualified.
