Detailed description of the preferred embodiment

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The first embodiment is as follows:

referring to fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing an FPC flexible circuit board, including the following steps: s1, adhering a PI cover film a without a window on a circuit layer; and S2, windowing on the PI cover film a at a position needing windowing in a laser ablation mode, and continuously ablating until the copper foil in the circuit layer is exposed, so as to obtain the windowed FPC flexible circuit board. In the prior art, the PI cover film a needs to be cut into windows of different shapes at corresponding positions according to circuit design requirements before being attached to the FPC circuit layer, and then is attached to the circuit layer. There is a risk of an excessively high fraction defective due to non-correspondence of hole sites. Therefore in order to solve this defect, the utility model discloses a new method is opened up earlier and cover membrane a subsides of not windowing on the circuit layer, then the position of windowing as required directly covers membrane a at the PI and opens the window to continue to window to copper foil downwards, has left out the process to the hole, has simplified FPC product preparation flow, has reduced the defective rate of product, has improved efficiency and precision, has promoted the reliability of product. The FPC flexible circuit board may be classified into a single-layer board, a double-layer board and a multilayer board, and may also be classified into a rubber plate and a non-rubber plate according to the presence or absence of an adhesive, but the PI cover film a and the circuit layer are not separated regardless of the type, for example, when the FPC flexible circuit board is a single-layer and adhesive rubber plate, two adhesive layers b are present, the circuit layer includes an adhesive layer b, a copper foil layer c and a base layer d which are sequentially arranged, and the cover film PI a covers the adhesive layer b to form a complete rubber plate, while for other types of FPC flexible circuit boards, the difference is only that there is some change in the composition of the circuit layer, but at least includes a copper foil, which is necessary for subsequent circuit conduction, so the method may cover the hole opening process of all types of FPC flexible circuit boards. When ablated, only the PI cover film a and the adhesive between the PI cover film a and the copper foil are ablated, and the copper foil and the substrate further below, as well as other types of boards where there is also adhesive or other structure between the copper foil and the substrate, are not ablated. Continuing with the above example, when the FPC flexible circuit board is a single-layer adhesive board with an adhesive, the circuit layer has a copper foil and an adhesive, the PI cover film a is first cut by laser ablation, and then the adhesive is subsequently cut by laser ablation until the copper foil is exposed.

As an optimization scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 1 to 4, the laser ablation method specifically includes: s20, adopting laser with Gaussian energy distribution, and modulating the laser beam into a flat-top circular light spot with uniform energy distribution; s21, focusing the laser beam on the position of the PI cover film a needing to be windowed, and quickly ablating the PI cover film a until the copper foil in the circuit layer is exposed.

The light beam is controllable, so that the ablation quality is improved, the ablation precision is improved, and the product quality is improved.

In this embodiment, the collimator lens 103 is disposed in the light beam emitting direction of the reflective flat-top beam shaping mirror 102, so that the reflective flat-top beam shaping mirror 102 and the collimator lens 103 can have a common focus. After passing through the collimating mirror 103The light beam is incident to the vibrating mirror 105 through the plane mirror group, and finally incident to the adjustable focusing mirror group to focus the light beam on the surface of the PI cover film a to be windowed. In addition, the planar mirror, i.e. the above-mentioned mirror group 104, is placed in the light path, so that the installation and debugging are convenient.

Referring to fig. 4 as an optimized solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the surface shape of the reflective flat-top beam shaping mirror 102 satisfies the following relationship:

wherein r is ₀ Is the beam waist radius of the incident Gaussian beam; r is the radial coordinate of the incident beam; r is the radial coordinate of the emergent beam of the beam shaping mirror; f. of _w Is the focal length of the reflective flat-top beam-shaping mirror 102; σ is the target amplitude of the output beam; x is the profile parameter of the reflective flat-top beam shaper mirror 102 at radial coordinate r.

As an optimization scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, in the step S21, the focusing degree is adjusted by using the focusing mirror 106 set to change the size of the flat top circular light spot. In this embodiment, the focus of the focusing mirror 106 set is adjusted as required by using the focusing mirror 106 set, so as to change the size of the flat-top circular light spot, increase the processing efficiency, and adjust the energy and action time of the light beam, thereby preventing the copper foil layer c from being ablated.
