Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to an enhancing structure and a manufacture method thereof, and more particularly, a circuit board enhancing structure and a manufacture method thereof.


2. Description of the Related Art

Refer to FIG. 5A. FIG. 5A is a cross sectional view of a conventional circuit board structure 3. The conventional circuit board structure 3 includes a substrate 31, a first circuit 32, a first dielectric layer 33, a second circuit 34, a second dielectric layer 35, a third circuit 36 and a protective layer 37. The first circuit 32 is disposed on the substrate 31. The first dielectric layer 33 is disposed on the substrate 31 and encapsulates the first circuit 32. The surface of the first dielectric layer 33 has a first through hole 331. The second circuit 34 is disposed on the first dielectric layer 33. The second dielectric layer 35 is disposed on the first dielectric layer 33 and encapsulates the second circuit 34. The surface of the second dielectric layer 35 has a second through hole 351. The third circuit 36 is disposed on the second dielectric layer 35. The protective layer 37 is disposed on the second dielectric layer 35, exposes one part of the third circuit 36, and encapsulates the other part of the third circuit 36.


As mentioned above, when the first circuit 32 and the second circuit 34 are formed on the aforementioned circuit board structure 3, the first dielectric layer 33 and the second dielectric layer 35 respectively encapsulate the first circuit 32 and the second circuit 34 and are stacked on the substrate 31. However, if the circuit board structure 3 utilizes the first dielectric layer 33 and the second dielectric layer 35 that are made of the same or heterogeneous material to stack on the substrate 31, the bonding strength of the contact surface between the first dielectric layer 33 and the second dielectric layer 35 is weak. The second circuit 34 and the third circuit 36 fail to be compactly formed on the surfaces of the first dielectric layer 33 and the second dielectric layer 35.


Refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5B is a partial enlargement view of the circuit board structure of FIG. 5A. After the first circuit 32 and the second circuit 34 are respectively formed on the first dielectric layer 33 and the second dielectric layer 35, the incomplete circuit board structure 3 is exposed in the air for a long time while waiting for the next testing process and forming process. In this environment, the incomplete circuit board structure 3 could absorb the moisture in the air so that the contact surface of the different layers in the incomplete circuit board structure 3 may be disengaged because of the popcorn effect in the next assembly process and the thermal process of the encapsulation. Particularly, the contact surfaces G1, G3 of the two adjacent dielectric layer, and the contact surfaces G2, G4 of the circuit and the dielectric layer both are easily disengaged because of the popcorn effect.


Moreover, in the process of forming the dielectric layer, the thermal stress is generated in the dielectric layer so that each region in the dielectric layer has a various difference value for the thermal stress after the dielectric layer has been roasted in the high temperature process and cured for a while—the theory of thermal expansion and cold shrinkage.


Accordingly, how to provide a circuit board enhancing structure and a manufacture method thereof to solve the problems mentioned above is an urgent subject to tackle.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of this, the present invention provides a manufacture method of a circuit board enhancing structure, including the following steps: providing a substrate; forming a first circuit on the substrate; forming a first dielectric layer on the substrate and encapsulating the first circuit; forming at least one first opening on the surface of the first dielectric layer; according to a position of the at least one first opening on the surface of the first dielectric layer and a predetermined position of the second circuit on the surface of the first dielectric layer, forming the first pattern photoresist layer on the surface of the first dielectric layer to divide the surface of the first dielectric layer as the first structure enhancement region and the second circuit region by the first pattern photoresist layer, wherein the at least one first opening is disposed in the first structure enhancement region; forming the second circuit in the second circuit region and forming the first enhancing structure element in the first opening of the first structure enhancement region, wherein the first enhancing structure element protrudes from the first opening; removing the first pattern photoresist layer; forming the second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, encapsulating the second circuit and the first enhancing structure element; forming the at least one second opening on the surface of the second dielectric layer; according to the position of the at least one second opening on the surface of the second dielectric layer and the predetermined position of the third circuit on the surface of the second dielectric layer, forming the second pattern photoresist layer on the surface of the second dielectric layer to divide the surface of the second dielectric layer as the second structure enhancement region and the third circuit region by the second pattern photoresist layer, wherein at least one second opening is disposed in the second structure enhancement region; forming the third circuit in the third circuit region and forming the at least one second enhancing structure element in the at least one second opening of the second structure enhancement region, wherein the second enhancing structure element protrudes from at least one second opening; removing the second pattern photoresist layer; forming the protective layer on the second dielectric layer, encapsulating the second enhancing structure element and the third circuit; forming the at least one opening on the protective layer to expose a part of the third circuit.


As mentioned above, the circuit board enhancing structure and the manufacture method thereof of the present invention utilize the enhancing structure elements to enhance the vertical bonding strength of the contact surface between the various processes. For instance, the invention enhances the bonding strength between the various dielectric layers and enhances the bonding strength between the dielectric layer and the protective layer to overcome the problems of the prior art. In addition, the enhancing structure elements are inserted to the interior of the dielectric layer to decrease and release the thermal stress in the dielectric layer, to reinforce the strength of the whole structure of the circuit board and to improve the homogeneity of the electroplating process. In this way, the circuit board enhancing structure and the manufacture method thereof of the present invention can further be applied to the layered structure with a low thermal expansion coefficient and the structure of the 5G product with a low roughness surface.

Hence, the second enhancing structure element 18 is embedded deeply in the second dielectric layer 16 via the second opening 161. Simultaneously, the part of the second enhancing structure element 18 that protrudes from the second opening 161 is encapsulated by the protective layer 19. That is, the height of the second enhancing structure element 18 is under the surface of the protective layer 19, not yet to protrude beyond the surface of the protective layer 19. Accordingly, the second enhancing structure element 18 is utilized to connect the second dielectric layer 16 and the protective layer 19 to enhance the bonding strength of the contact surface between the protective layer 19 and the second dielectric layer 16. In addition, since the second enhancing structure element 18 is disposed in the second opening 161, the position and the width of the second opening 161 are not limited to the surface of the second dielectric layer 16. Alternatively, the second opening 161 can be disposed in the region excluding the circuit region and the interval between the second opening 161 and the region excluding the circuit region is not less than the interval of the minimum process. Moreover, the second structure enhancement region 162 includes the regions formed by the second pattern photoresist layer M2 encapsulating each second opening 161.


In the embodiment, in terms of shape, the at least one first opening 131 and the at least one second opening 161 include a cylindrical blind hole so that the first enhancing structure element 15 disposed in the first opening 131 and the second enhancing structure element 18 disposed in the second opening 161 can respectively enhance the bonding strength of the contact surface between the first dielectric layer 13 and the second dielectric layer 16 and the bonding strength of the contact surface between the second dielectric layer 16 and the protective layer 19.


In the embodiment, the circuit board enhancing structure 2 further includes at least one first trench 135 and at least one second trench 165. The at least one first trench 135 and the at least one second trench 165, in terms of shape, include a conical blind hole with a wide top and a narrow bottom so that the second circuit 14B disposed in the first trench 135 and the third circuit 17B disposed in the second trench 165 can respectively enhance the bonding strength of the contact surface between the first dielectric layer 13 and the second dielectric layer 16 and the bonding strength of the contact surface between the second dielectric layer 16 and the protective layer 19.


In the embodiment, the circuit board enhancing structure 2 further includes a first through hole 134 and a second through hole 164. The first through hole 134 is disposed in the first dielectric layer 13 so that the second circuit 14A is electrically connected to the first circuit 12 via the first through hole 133. The second through hole 164 is disposed in the second dielectric layer 16 so that the third circuit 17A is electrically connected to the second circuit 14A via the second through hole 164.


In the embodiment of the present invention, the first circuit 12, the second circuit 14A, the second circuit 14B, the third circuit 17A, the third circuit 17B, the first enhancing structure element 15 and the second enhancing structure element 18 use the same materials, such as copper and other conductive metal materials so as to reduce the steps of the manufacture method of a circuit board enhancing structure.


To summarize, the circuit board enhancing structure and the manufacture method thereof of the present invention utilize the enhancing structure elements to enhance the vertical bonding strength of the contact surface between the various processes. For instance, the invention enhances the bonding strength between the various dielectric layers and enhances the bonding strength between the dielectric layer and the protective layer to overcome the problems of the prior art. In addition, the enhancing structure elements are inserted into to the interior of the dielectric layer to decrease and release the thermal stress in the dielectric layer, to reinforce the strength of the whole structure of the circuit board and to improve the homogeneity of the electroplating process. In this way, the circuit board enhancing structure and the manufacture method thereof of the present invention can further be applied to the layered structure with a low thermal expansion coefficient and the structure of the 5G product with a low roughness surface.
