As an anti-lead metal β such as lead, nickel, or gold for subsequent etching, the surface of the multilayer circuit board 3 is formed after the 疋 = ^ layer 35. The second metal layer has been mentioned as an anti-name agent in many cases. Because the i I road board 30 is etched, as shown in the first figure (J), only the circuit part and the through hole 32 of Tai Yao are left. g is passed down to perform a tin spray operation on the multi-layer circuit board 30. The purpose of the spray kick is to prevent the security of the ri electronic components. First, a red-proof layer 3 7 is formed on the surface of the multilayer circuit board 30 to cover the circuit portion. ≫ The first (shown in Figure 10 *, only V. Description of the invention (5) through-hole 32. Since the solder-proof layer 37 has Anti-soldering characteristics, the multilayer circuit board 30 will not have a tin layer attached to its surface after being sprayed with tin, and will become the first (d state shown in 'd', only the tin layer 3 8 is added to the hole wall and peripheral edge of the through hole 32 ° At this point, the circuit part of the multilayer circuit board 30 is almost completed. 'Next, the multilayer circuit board 3 is cut according to the required shape, and then the multilayer circuit board 30 is etched' to understand whether its internal circuit is In the end, the multilayer circuit board 30 is used as the upper board, and it is laminated with the lower board 40 as shown in the first (m) diagram. The lower board 4 has sufficient mechanical strength. The second brigade applies high pressure from the outside to press the lower board 40 and the multilayer circuit board 30 to form a thick printed circuit board 50, and then drills to form a positioning hole 5 2 'as shown in the first (η) diagram. In the above process, 'before the lower board 40 is laminated with the multilayer circuit board 30, it can be preceded by the lower board 4'. A number of perforations (not shown in the figure) should be provided at the soldering points of the multilayer circuit board 30 to facilitate the mounting of electronic components on the thick printed circuit board 50. Among them, the lower board 40 is preferably FR4, The direct action is to enable the thick printed circuit board 50 to withstand large external forces. ”, Shi Shuzhi's production steps to briefly describe the flowchart shown in the second figure, a hundred first production-upper board, formed on it There are through holes for circuit wiring and power supply element installation, that is, step sio, and then step S20 is performed. The lower board has sufficient mechanical strength to be pressed against the upper board, and the circuit board is brushed, wherein the lower board corresponds to The soldering position J can be ^ = 2 for the mounting of electronic components on a thick printed circuit board: = a positioning hole is formed on the thick printed circuit board, that is, step 3 〇

A person with sufficient skills should first leave the content of the present invention and deviate from the present invention. (6) In the above process, thick-layer printing is completed on the multilayer circuit board 30, so that the demand for 15-20 layers of printed circuit boards can be made at a thickness of 3 mm, which means that the current general printed circuit board factory The production and finishing allow the thickness of the board, so it can avoid stopping and contribute to the improvement of productivity. If the present invention is applied to the multi-layer circuit board 50 of the test card circuit board 30, the metal plating solution of the multi-layer circuit board 30 can penetrate the through-holes, so the yield rate of the produced test card for the test card 50 has sufficient mechanical k The external force is pressed without deformation. From the above, when you can understand that this section makes a thick printed circuit board, it is completed on an upper board, and the lower stage is combined with the lower board. For the familiar circuit, the above embodiments and spirit can be easily modified. Therefore, the above description is an equivalent modification or application made by the actual purpose of enabling the person skilled in the art to understand rather than limit the scope of the patent of the present invention. Patent scope. ☆ The circuit wiring of 0 is all based on the technology of multi-layer circuit boards. It can meet the general thick rule brush circuit board. 50 can extend the board thickness without the need to stop the adjustment. The production loss is due to the thick printed electricity. The connection, and furthermore, the thick print can withstand the mechanical strength of the test wafer with two-stage wiring, which is very revealing.
