Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a manufacturing method METH for manufacturing a conductive structure 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the manufacturing method METH includes steps S11 to S19. By performing the manufacturing method METH, the manufacturer can manufacture the conductive structure 100 as shown in fig. 13. In the following description of steps S11 to S19, please refer to fig. 2 to 13 simultaneously to obtain the best understanding of the present disclosure.
Step S11: two anti-reflective layers 120 are formed on opposite surfaces of the substrate 110, respectively.
First, please refer to fig. 2. Fig. 2 provides a substrate 110. In the present embodiment, the substrate 110 serves as a non-conductor. The substrate 110 has metal lines distributed on the upper and lower surfaces in fig. 2, and the metal lines are used for transmitting signals associated with the image. In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 110 may include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP), transparent polyimide (CPI), polyimide (PI), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), or any suitable material. Thus, in some embodiments, the substrate 110 may be a transparent material. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the substrate 110 may be a translucent material. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the material of the substrate 110.
Next, please refer to fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, two anti-reflection layers 120 are formed on opposite surfaces of the substrate 110. In more detail, the two anti-reflection layers 120 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 110, respectively, such that the substrate 110 is located between the two anti-reflection layers 120.
In some embodiments, the two anti-reflective layers 120 may be formed by attaching, coating, screen printing, or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of forming two anti-reflective layers 120 on opposite surfaces of the substrate 110.
In some embodiments, the material of the two anti-reflective layers 120 may comprise ink, carbon derivatives, copper oxide, chromium, nickel, black nickel, or any suitable material. Thus, in some embodiments, the anti-reflective layer 120 may be a conductive material. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the anti-reflective layer 120 may be a non-conductive material. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the material of the anti-reflective layer 120.
In some embodiments, the optical density of the two anti-reflective layers 120 is greater than about 4 after they are formed on opposite surfaces of the substrate 110.
In some embodiments, the anti-reflective layer 120 has a reflectance of less than about 70% in the full range of visible light after being formed on the opposite surfaces of the substrate 110.
In some embodiments, the method of manufacturing METH may further comprise a cleaning process. The cleaning system Cheng Yongyi cleans the substrate 110. In some embodiments, the cleaning process may be performed before step S11, so that two anti-reflection layers 120 may be formed on opposite surfaces of the substrate 110 with better quality.
Step S12: two layers 130 of dummy insulating material are formed over the two anti-reflective layers 120, respectively.
Please refer to fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4, two layers of dummy insulating material 130 are formed on the two anti-reflective layers 120. In more detail, two dummy insulating material layers 130 are respectively formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the two anti-reflection layers 120 such that each anti-reflection layer 120 is located between each dummy insulating material layer 130 and the substrate 110. In the present embodiment, the two dummy insulating material layers 130 are used to protect the surfaces of the two anti-reflection layers 120, and are configured to avoid the problem of scratch between the lamination layers in the subsequent process (e.g. drilling process). In this embodiment, the dummy insulating material layer 130 acts as an indirect material rather than a permanent material, i.e., the dummy insulating material layer 130 is removed during the fabrication of the conductive structure 100 without remaining in the conductive structure 100.
In some embodiments, the two layers of dummy insulating material 130 may be formed by attaching, coating, screen printing, or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of forming the two layers of dummy insulating material 130 over the two anti-reflective layers 120.
In some embodiments, the two layers of dummy insulating material 130 may be plastic protective films, peelable plastic materials, or any suitable material. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the material of the dummy insulating material layer 130.
Step S13: the via V is formed through the two dummy insulating material layers 130, the substrate 110 and the two anti-reflective layers 120.
Please refer to fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the via hole V is formed in an intermediate structure composed of the substrate 110, the anti-reflection layer 120, and the dummy insulating material layer 130. In more detail, the via V passes through the substrate 110, the two anti-reflection layers 120 and the two dummy insulating material layers 130.
In some embodiments, the via V may be formed by drilling or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of forming the via V through the two layers of dummy insulating material 130, the substrate 110, and the two anti-reflective layers 120.
Step S14: the conductive via 140 is formed in the via V, and the conductive via 140 completely fills the via V.
Please refer to fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the conductive via 140 fills the via V, and the conductive via 140 penetrates the substrate 110, the two anti-reflection layers 120, and the two dummy insulating material layers 130. As shown in fig. 6, the conductive via 140 has both ends protruding from the two dummy insulating material layers 130 toward the upper and lower sides in the drawing plane.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the conductive communication post 140 is a solid filled structure. The conductive via 140 is filled with the via V to achieve the effect of reducing the resistance.
In some embodiments, the material of the conductive via 140 may comprise silver, copper, carbon, or any suitable material. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the material of the conductive via 140.
Step S15: the two layers of dummy insulating material 130 are removed.
Please refer to fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7, after step S16 is completed to realize that the conductive via 140 fills the via V, the two dummy insulating material layers 130 are removed so that the conductive via 140 penetrates the substrate 110 and the two anti-reflective layers 120. The conductive via 140 has both ends protruding from the two anti-reflection layers 120 toward the upper and lower sides in the drawing.
In some embodiments, the two layers of dummy insulating material 130 may be removed by stripping, scraping, tearing, or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of removing the dummy insulating material layer 130 from the surfaces of the two anti-reflection layers 120.
Next, please continue to refer to fig. 7. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the manufacturing method METH may further include a baking process. The baking process is used to cure the two anti-reflective layers 120. As shown in fig. 7, the intermediate structure composed of the substrate 110, the two anti-reflection layers 120 and the conductive via 140 may be baked by the baking device B, so that at least two anti-reflection layers 120 may be cured. In some embodiments, the baking process may be performed after step S15, so that a subsequent process (e.g., a molding process) is performed on the surfaces of the two anti-reflective layers 120.
Step S16: two conductive dry films 150 are formed on the two anti-reflective layers 120, respectively.
Please refer to fig. 8. As shown in fig. 8, two conductive dry films 150 are respectively formed on the two anti-reflection layers 120. In the present embodiment, two conductive dry films 150 are disposed on the sides of the two anti-reflective layers 120 away from the substrate 110, respectively. In more detail, two conductive dry films 150 are respectively formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the two anti-reflection layers 120 such that each anti-reflection layer 120 is located between each conductive dry film 150 and the substrate 110. As shown in fig. 8, two conductive dry films 150 are formed on the two anti-reflective layers 120 to completely cover the conductive via 140, such that the two conductive dry films 150 can be electrically connected through the conductive via 140, and such that signals of metal lines distributed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 110 can be connected to each other through the conductive via 140.
In some embodiments. The two conductive dry films 150 may be formed by film pressing, coating, or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to a method of forming two conductive dry films 150 on two anti-reflection layers 120, respectively.
In some embodiments, the material of the two conductive dry films 150 may include a photosensitive silver film or any suitable material. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the materials of the two conductive dry films 150.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in some embodiments, the thickness of the two conductive dry films 150 is greater than about 10 micrometers. The sufficiently thick two conductive dry films 150 provide low resistance to metal lines distributed on the surface of the substrate 110.
Step S17: two conductive dry films 150 are patterned.
Please refer to fig. 9. As shown in fig. 9, in the present embodiment, the patterning process is performed by the exposure device E on the two conductive dry films 150. As shown in the figure 9 of the drawings, two masks M may be respectively disposed between the exposure device E and the two conductive dry films 150. The mask M is distributed with a pattern composed of a plurality of solid parts and hollow parts, so that the exposure device E can form a pattern on the two conductive dry films 150 when the exposure process is performed on the two conductive dry films 150.
In some embodiments, the exposure apparatus E may be an Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) exposure machine or any suitable apparatus. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the apparatus and method for patterning the two conductive dry films 150.
In some embodiments, the mask M may include, but is not limited to, a photomask (photomask).
Next, please refer to fig. 10. As shown in fig. 10, after the exposure process of the two conductive dry films 150 by the exposure device E and the mask M, a developing process is performed. The developing process removes one portion of each of the two conductive dry films 150. In more detail, as shown in fig. 10, two conductive dry films 150 are removed at each portion so that two anti-reflection layers 120 are exposed at each portion. For example, the conductive dry film 150 located above the substrate 110 is removed at a right portion thereof, and the conductive dry film 150 located below the substrate 110 is removed at a left portion thereof, such that the two conductive dry films 150 partially overlap in one direction (e.g., in an up-down direction in fig. 10). By performing the developing process, the conductive via 140 is still completely covered by the two conductive dry films 150.
Next, please refer to fig. 11. As shown in fig. 11, the manufacturing method METH may further include a baking process. The baking process is used to cure the two conductive dry films 150. As shown in fig. 11, the intermediate structure composed of the substrate 110, the two anti-reflective layers 120, the conductive via 140 and the two conductive dry films 150 may be baked by the baking device B, so that at least two conductive dry films 150 and a portion of the two anti-reflective layers 120 exposed may be cured. In some embodiments, the baking process may be performed after step S17, so as to facilitate the subsequent processes (e.g., microetching process and blackening process).
Step S18: one portion of each of the two anti-reflection layers 120 is removed.
Please refer to fig. 12. As shown in fig. 12, in the present embodiment, each of the exposed portions of the two anti-reflection layers 120 is removed, so that a portion of each of the opposite surfaces of the substrate 110 is exposed. For example, the anti-reflection layer 120 on the substrate 110 is removed at a right portion thereof, and the anti-reflection layer 120 under the substrate 110 is removed at a left portion thereof, such that the two anti-reflection layers 120 partially overlap in one direction (e.g., in an up-down direction in fig. 10). By performing the microetching process, the conductive via 140 is still completely covered by the two conductive dry films 150, and a portion of each of the opposite surfaces of the substrate 110 is exposed.
In some embodiments, the two anti-reflective layers 120 may be removed at each location by a microetching process or any suitable process. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of removing a portion of each of the two anti-reflective layers 120.
Step S19: two blackening layers 160 are respectively formed to cover the two conductive dry films 150.
Please refer to fig. 13. As shown in fig. 13, the two conductive dry films 150 are respectively covered with two blackening layers 160. In more detail, the surface of each conductive dry film 150 facing the substrate 110 is covered by the corresponding anti-reflection layer 120, and the remaining surface of each conductive dry film 150 is covered by the corresponding blacking layer 160, as shown in fig. 13. By forming two blackening layers 160 to cover the two conductive dry films 150, the effect of avoiding the problem of visual reflection can be achieved.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, two blackened layers 160 are each coated with two conductive dry films 150 three-sided in one direction (e.g., in-out direction). The two conductive dry films 150 are covered one by one in a direction (e.g., in-out direction) by the corresponding anti-reflection layer 120, so that the two conductive dry films 150 can be four-sided coated in a direction (e.g., in-out direction).
In some embodiments, the two blackened layers 160 may be formed by electroless plating, electroplating, coating, screen printing, spray printing, or any suitable method. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited with respect to the method of coating the two conductive dry films 150 by forming the two blackening layers 160, respectively.
By performing the steps S11 to S19 of the manufacturing method METH, the manufacturer can manufacture the conductive structure 100. As shown in fig. 13, the conductive structure 100 manufactured by performing the manufacturing method METH includes a substrate 110, two anti-reflection layers 120, conductive via 140, two conductive dry films 150, and two blacking layers 160. The two anti-reflection layers 120 are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate 110, and a portion of each of the two opposite surfaces is exposed. The two conductive dry films 150 are disposed on the sides of the two anti-reflective layers 120 away from the substrate 110, respectively. The conductive via 140 penetrates the substrate 110 and has two ends respectively extending to two conductive dry films 150. The two blackening layers 160 cover the two conductive dry films 150, respectively, and each conductive dry film 150 is covered by the corresponding anti-reflection layer 120 and the corresponding blackening layer 160.
In some embodiments, the two ends of the conductive via 140 are respectively non-coplanar with the two anti-reflective layers 120, so as to avoid possible poor contact between the conductive via 140 and the two conductive dry films 150 due to the parallel or lower surfaces of the two ends of the conductive via 140 than the two anti-reflective layers 120.
In some embodiments, the two conductive dry films 150 completely cover the conductive via 140, so as to avoid the conductive via 140 from being etched when one portion of the two anti-reflective layers 120 is removed due to insufficient thickness of the two conductive dry films 150 when performing the step S18.
As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the conductive structure and the method for manufacturing the same of the present disclosure, since the insulating layer is formed on the anti-reflective layer to protect the anti-reflective layer, the risk of scratch of the interlayer lamination and the risk of offset of the conductive via formed in the via hole can be avoided. In the conductive structure and the manufacturing method thereof, the conductive dry film is formed on the anti-reflection layer and the blackening layer is formed on the surface of the conductive dry film, so that the requirements of fine circuit, no reflection light on four sides, conductive through holes and no interlayer lamination scratch are simultaneously achieved under the condition of no new manufacturing process.
While the present disclosure has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure, and the scope of the disclosure is therefore defined by the appended claims.
