Description

  The present invention relates to a printed wiring board having a plurality of jumper wires on a base substrate on which a wiring pattern is formed, and a method for manufacturing the same.

  As a printed wiring board, for example, a flexible printed board is thin and has excellent flexibility, so that it is frequently used such as being incorporated in an electronic device or the like. In recent years, with the miniaturization of electronic devices such as electronic devices such as semiconductor chips, or the reduction in the pitch of terminals, finer and higher density wiring of printed wiring boards and higher multi-layers are progressing. .

  Under such circumstances, a printed wiring board having a multilayer structure is required to be thin, have high surface smoothness, and have high electrical connection reliability between layers. In order to meet such demands, for example, a printed wiring board disclosed in Patent Document 1 below is known as a printed wiring board provided with a jumper wire that bridges and connects between wiring patterns.

  In this printed wiring board, an interlayer insulating layer is formed on the wiring pattern of the printed wiring board by screen printing, and then temporarily dried. Further, a conductive paste is printed thereon as a jumper layer and then temporarily dried, and an upper layer is laminated. Then, it is formed by baking at a high temperature.

JP-A 61-15394

  Here, since the printed wiring board disclosed in Patent Document 1 has an interlayer insulating layer formed on the wiring side surface of the board by screen printing or the like, the interlayer insulating layer becomes thin near the edge portion of the wiring. End up.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, this may adversely affect the reliability when the jumper wires 101 and 102 are multi-layered such as a two-layer structure. That is, when the interlayer insulating layer 103 is printed and formed, the interlayer insulating layer 103 becomes thin at the edge portion of the jumper line 101. In this case, insulation failure between the jumper wires 101 and 102 may occur in a portion where a sufficient thickness cannot be ensured. In particular, since silver used as a conductive paste easily induces ion migration, the reliability of interlayer insulation between jumper lines in the thinned portion of the interlayer insulating layer 103 cannot be maintained.

  On the other hand, if the interlayer insulating layer is formed by multiple printing so as to secure sufficient thickness and maintain insulation reliability, not only the number of man-hours increases but also the printing position and thickness each time. Variations in length may occur, and product quality may deteriorate.

  The present invention provides a printed wiring board and a method for manufacturing the same, which can improve the insulation reliability by securing the thickness of the insulating layer between the jumper wires in order to eliminate the above-described problems caused by the prior art.

  Embodiments of a printed wiring board and a method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a printed wiring board according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the printed wiring board 1 includes a base substrate 4 made of a copper-clad laminate (CCL) in which a wiring circuit 3 is patterned on a base substrate 2. Further, the printed wiring board 1 includes a cover lay 6 attached on the base substrate 4 via an adhesive 5. A through hole 6a is formed at a predetermined location of the cover lay 6 (and the adhesive 5).

  On the printed wiring board 1, a first jumper circuit 7 made of a first jumper line and a second jumper circuit 8 made of a second jumper line are formed on a cover lay 6. In addition, a first insulating layer 9 as an interlayer insulating layer is formed between the first jumper circuit 7 and the second jumper circuit 8, and a second cover coat layer is formed on the second jumper circuit 8. An insulating layer 10 is formed. As described above, the printed wiring board 1 has a multilayer structure in which the wiring circuit 3 is bridged and connected by the first and second jumper circuits 7 and 8.

  The base substrate 2 is made of an insulating resin such as PET, PEN, PI, and PA, and the wiring circuit 3 is made of a conductive material such as copper, copper alloy, or aluminum. The adhesive 5 is a thermosetting adhesive using, for example, an epoxy resin, and the coverlay 6 is made of an insulating resin similar to the base substrate 2.

  The first and second jumper circuits 7 and 8 are made of a conductive paste such as a copper paste or a silver paste. The first insulating layer 9 is made of resist ink, and the second insulating layer 10 is made of ink such as thermosetting, ultraviolet curable, and photosensitive. In the printed wiring board 1 configured as described above, the first insulating layer 9 between the first and second jumper circuits 7 and 8 is formed so that the cross section thereof becomes a rectangular cross section.

  Specifically, the first insulating layer 9 has a vertical distance a from the upper end point on the plane of the first jumper circuit 7 to the lower end point of the second jumper circuit 8, and the first distance from the edge point of the first jumper circuit 7 is first. The insulating layer 9 is formed to have a rectangular cross section that is smaller than the oblique distance b to the edge point. For this reason, compared with a prior art, the thickness of the 1st insulating layer 9 between circuits (interlayer) can be ensured uniformly. Thereby, the insulation reliability between layers can be improved.

  The printed wiring board 1 configured as described above is manufactured, for example, as follows. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a manufacturing process according to a method for manufacturing a printed wiring board according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3A to 3K are cross-sectional views for explaining this manufacturing process. Here, the manufacturing process will be described based on FIGS. 3A to 3K with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3A, a single-sided CCL in which a copper foil 3a is attached on a base substrate 2 is prepared (step S100). Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the wiring circuit 3 is formed by etching or the like (step S102), and the base substrate 4 is formed. Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, the cover lay 6 in which the through holes 6a are formed in advance is bonded to the wiring circuit 3 side of the base substrate 4 via the adhesive 5 and thermocompression bonded (step S104).

  After the coverlay 6 is thermocompression bonded, a silver paste is screen-printed on the surface of the coverlay 6 to form the first jumper circuit 7 as shown in FIG. 3D (step S106). The first jumper circuit 7 is electrically connected to the wiring circuit 3 through a through hole 6a provided at a predetermined location (not shown).

  Next, a PET film as a transfer body is prepared, and as shown in FIG. 3E, a desired shape capable of sufficiently covering the first jumper circuit 7 by applying a counterbore process to the PET film 11 with a YAG laser or the like, A recess 11a having a depth (for example, 20 μm) and a width is formed (step S108). At this time, a guide hole (not shown) for alignment is also formed in the PET film 11.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 3F, the photosensitive resist ink is printed on the entire surface of the PET film 11 on the concave portion 11a side (step S110), and a predetermined time (for example, 30 ° C.) for a predetermined time (for example, 30 ° C.). Minutes), the photosensitive resist is temporarily cured, and a resist 12 is formed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3G, the PET film 11 is placed on the base substrate 4 so that the concave portion 11a faces the first jumper circuit 7, and is aligned after using the guide holes. For example, a vacuum laminator is used for attachment (step S112). For example, the laminating conditions at this time are, for example, a temperature of 100 ° C., a evacuation time of 20 seconds, a pressurization time of 20 seconds, and a pressure of 0.1 Mpa.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3H, with the PET film 11 adhered to the base substrate 4, using a mask or the like (not shown), light such as ultraviolet rays is selectively selected as indicated by white arrows in the figure. Irradiate to expose the resist 12 (step S114). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3I, the PET film 11 is peeled off from the resist 12 (step S116), and development is performed to remove excess resist 12, and the first insulating layer having a rectangular cross section as shown in FIG. 3J. 9 is formed (step S118).

  After that, for example, baking is performed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes) in a predetermined temperature atmosphere (for example, a temperature of 150 ° C.) to cure the first insulating layer 9 (step S120), and the second is obtained by printing the silver paste. The jumper circuit 8 is formed on the base substrate 4 (step S122). Finally, the ink as described above is printed to form the second insulating layer 10 (step S124), and the printed wiring board 1 as shown in FIG. 3K is completed.

  In the printed wiring board 1 manufactured in this way, as shown in FIG. 3K, the first insulating layer 9 has a rectangular cross section. For this reason, the thickness between the 1st and 2nd jumper circuits 7 and 8 can be ensured uniformly, and insulation reliability can be improved. In the illustrated example, the wiring circuit 3 at both ends is electrically connected by the second jumper circuit 8 through the through hole 6a.

  In the above-described embodiment, the transfer film of the resist 12 has been described by using the PET film 11 as an example. However, any material that has optical transparency and can be processed (for example, a PEN film) is used. It is not limited to. In addition, although the two-layered jumper circuits 7 and 8 are formed on the printed wiring board 1, it may have a multilayer structure of more than that.

  Furthermore, although the photosensitive resist ink has been described as an example of the resist 12, for example, a thermosetting resist ink may be used.

  Hereinafter, the printed wiring board 1 will be specifically described by way of examples. In this example, five samples (Examples) of the printed wiring board 1 having the structure of the first insulating layer 9 were prepared. In addition, five samples (comparative examples) of printed wiring boards having a conventional insulating layer structure were prepared. And the interlayer migration test was implemented about these samples.

  In each sample, as shown in FIG. 4, the base substrate 2 was composed of PI having a thickness of 25 μm, and the wiring circuit 3 was composed of Cu having a thickness of 12 μm. The coverlay 6 was configured such that the thinnest part had a thickness of 12.5 μm and the thickest part had a thickness of 20 μm, and the first and second jumper circuits 7 and 8 were made of Ag having a thickness of 10 μm.

  Further, the hole diameter of the through hole 6a is φ0.8 mm, the diameters of the pads 7a and 8a of the first and second jumper circuits 7 and 8 as shown in FIG. 5 are φ1.3 mm, and the second insulation on the pads 7a and 8a. The diameter of the layer 10 was set to φ1.7 mm. The jumper line length from the center to the center of the pads 7a, 8a of the first and second jumper circuits 7, 8 is set to 15 mm, for example.

  Further, the thickness of the first insulating layer 9 and the conventional insulating layer on the first jumper circuit 7 is set to 30 μm, and a lead portion 7b drawn from the pads 7a and 8a and electrically connected to the wiring circuit 3 is used. , 8b, the cables 201 and 202 of the interlayer migration tester 200 were connected by the solder 19. And it tested on the following conditions.

  The test condition was that each sample was exposed to an atmosphere having a temperature of 85 ° C. and a relative humidity of 85%, and a voltage of 50 V was applied to the jumper circuits 7 and 8 from the interlayer migration tester 200 via the cables 201 and 202 for 1000 hours. Thereafter, the insulation resistance between these circuits 7 and 8 was measured.

  As shown in FIG. 6, all of the five comparative examples were short-circuited in about 250 hours to 400 hours. This is considered to be because the thickness of the insulating layer between the jumper circuits 7 and 8 cannot be secured sufficiently. On the other hand, all the five examples passed the test without being short-circuited even after 1000 hours. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the printed wiring board according to the present invention improves the insulation reliability by securing the thickness of the insulating layer between the layers.

  As another example, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first insulating layer 9 may be formed in a stepped cross section having a stepped portion 9a. Thereby, the height of the both ends of the 1st insulating layer 9 can be reduced in steps compared with the case where there is no step part 9a. For this reason, it has the same effect as the effect of the said Example, and when forming the 2nd jumper circuit 8 by printing in the process after forming the 1st insulating layer 9, for example, a silver paste is used for the 1st It can be formed on the insulating layer 9 reliably and without any trouble.
