The present invention, belonging to the technical field of electronic materials, relates to a circuit substrate and a process for preparing the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a circuit substrate having microscopic homogeneity and isotropy and a process for preparing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a circuit substrate having less warp-wise and weft-wise difference in dielectric constant, as well as a process for preparing the same.
In recent years, with the development of electronic products in the direction of multifunctionality and miniaturization, of the circuit substrates used therein in the direction of multilayer, wiring densification and of signal transmission in the direction of high speed, higher requirements on the comprehensive performance of the circuit substrates-metal foil-clad laminates, e.g. copper-clad plates, have been raised. Specifically, dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss (Df) of the media are important indexes affecting signal transmission rate and signal quality. As for transmission rate, the lower the dielectric constant of the dielectric material is, the faster the signal transmission rate is. As for signal integrity, the dielectric loss property of the materials results in signal loss during the transmission, which will sharply increase with the increase of the transmission frequency and transmission line length. As for the substrate, signal integrity is mainly relevant to the dielectric loss of the dielectric materials, and the surface roughness of copper foil conductor. The lower the dielectric loss of the dielectric materials is, the less the signal transmission loss is, especially under the transmission circumstance of high frequency and long link. Meanwhile, with the development of high performance, high functionality and networking of information communication equipment, data transmission rate will become higher and higher, faster and faster at the cloud computing and big data eras. Data transmission rate is increased from the conventional 5 Gbps to 10 Gbps, even 25 Gbps. When data transmission rate becomes higher and higher, the transmission wavelength of digital signal becomes shorter and shorter. When the transmission rate is at a lower level, signal time delay will have a less effect on the signal integrity since the transmission wavelength of digital signal is longer. However, when the transmission rate is higher than 10 Gbps, signal time delay will become a problem which must be considered in high-speed transmission links.
As one of the signal transmission supports of communication equipment, copper-clad laminates play a key role during signal transmission. The laminate materials as the transmission media determine the signal transmission quality. Currently, copper-clad laminate materials generally use electronic-grade glass fabrics as reinforcing materials, and are obtained by being impregnated with thermosetting resin, oven-dried, laminated and hot-pressed. Since weaving materials are used as reinforcing materials (e.g. glass fabrics), the insulating media (e.g. glass components) in the circuit substrates are not homogeneously distributed due to the weaving of woven fiber cloth and the existence of cross-shaped joints of cross sections of woven fibers, as shown in
In order to solve such problem, dielectric materials which are homogeneous in planar direction are radically necessary, wherein the main technical means include (1) increasing the fiber-opening extent of glass fabrics, (2) replacing the fiber weaving materials with film-form reinforcing materials, and (3) using reinforcing materials having a lower dielectric constant, e.g. glass fabrics having a low dielectric constant. Although the fiber-opening makes glass fabrics more homogeneous, only weft-wise homogeneousness can be achieved at present due to the weaving technology and structure of glass fabrics. In warp-wise direction, it is looser than conventional non-fiber-opened fiber cloth, and complete fiber-opening and homogeneity cannot be reached. Therefore, glass fabrics cannot achieve complete homogeneity in planar direction. The film form will lead to great difficulty during the technology implementation, worse operability and binding to resins, and being easy to stratify. The use of glass fabrics having a low dielectric constant may decrease the dielectric constant of the reinforcing materials at a certain extent, but still increases the difference in the dielectric constant of currently used resin compositions having a low dielectric constant, so as to satisfy no homogeneity in the planar direction of dielectric constant.
In order to adapt to the technical requirements of high-speed communications on copper-clad laminate materials, decrease the dielectric constant and dielectric loss by all kinds of technical means, those skilled in the art have generally used one of the two following techniques. One is to replace conventional epoxy resin with modified epoxy resin, cyanate resin, bismaleimide resin, polyphenyl ether resin, hydrocarbon resin, thermoplastic material-polytetrafluoroethylene, liquid crystal resin and the like. These resin materials per se have very low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and may provide better high-speed transmission characteristics. Additionally, changes of the reinforcing materials may also reduce the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of copper-clad laminate materials. Since the current general reinforcing materials are electronic-grade glass fabrics (E-type glass fabrics) which have a dielectric constant of from 6.2 to 6.6, which is much higher than that of the resin portion used therein, the copper-clad laminate materials manufactured therefrom usually have a Dk of from 3.5 to 4.5. In order to further reduce the dielectric constant of laminate materials, those skilled in the art bring forward replacing the conventional electronic-grade glass fabrics with glass fabrics with low dielectric constant. Glass fabrics with low dielectric constant have a Dk of from 4.4 to 4.6, which may substantially reduce the dielectric constant of the whole laminate material and effectively increase the signal transmission rate. In addition, the dielectric loss (Df) is also lower than that of the electronic-grade glass fabrics, which is also in favor of improving the loss during signal transmission and can notably improve signal integrity brought by the increase of signal transmission rate and frequency.
It can be seen from above that there are two essential ingredients of copper-clad laminate materials, i.e. resin composition and reinforcing material. The difference of these two ingredients in dielectric constant is reflected in that the Dk of the reinforcing material is far greater than the Dk of the resin composition, as specifically stated in the following table.
According to the table above, it can be obviously seen that the dielectric constant of the resin composition currently applied in high-speed materials is apparently lower than that of the reinforcing material-glass fabrics, and the dielectric constant of the final laminate is the weighted sum of those of the resin composition and reinforcing material, as shown in the following formulas.

It is easy to see from the microstructure that micro-structural inhomogeneity of braided structure of the reinforcing materials results in a very high Dk, of the copper-clad laminates composed of resin compositions and reinforcing materials, at the places where the warp and weft yarns are interweaved, a quite high Dk at the places where there are warp or weft yarns, and a low Dk at the places where there are no yarns. Such inhomogeneity leads to micro-difference in dielectric constant of the dielectric layers.
Transmission time of signals is determined by the transmission rate and distance. Under the circumstance of the same transmission distance, transmission rate is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the transmission medium. Micro-differences in the dielectric constants of the surrounding media corresponding to the transmission lines directly result in time inconsistency of signals from the emitting end to the receiving end and signal mismatching, i.e. time delay effect. Signal time delay is divided into warp-wise signal time delay and weft-wise signal time delay. Warp-wise signal time delay refers to the signal time delay when the transmission line is warp-wisely arranged on the circuit substrate, and weft-wise signal time delay refers to the signal time delay when the transmission line is weft-wisely arranged on the circuit substrate.
In conclusion, with the continual increasing of the data transmission rate, time delay has become a problem which must be encountered during signal transmission in high-speed links. Currently, time delay will be reduced by some designing means at a certain extent, which, however, will greatly increase the cost. Therefore, it has become an important technical problem how to increase the micro-homogeneity of the dielectric materials—laminates on the basis of the dielectric materials per se and to solve the problem of signal delay radically.
As stated above, the structure characteristics of the current reinforcing materials result in plane inhomogeneity of the laminate materials, anisotropic dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the laminate material in the microstructure, as well as great micro-difference in different places in the same planar direction. During the designing process of high-speed digital circuits, various measures are taken by engineers to solve the problem of signal integrity, wherein one is the method of transmitting high-speed digital signal with differential lines. Differential lines in PCB are coupled strip-lines or coupled microstrip lines, and signals when transmitted thereon are in an odd mode transmission way. Therefore, differential signals have the advantages of strong resistance to interference, being easy to match and the like. With the increasing demand on information transmission rate of digital circuits, differential transmission mode of signals will get more and more widely used. Differential lines have the main advantages of strong resistance to interference, effective inhibition of electromagnetic interference, timing precision positioning and the like. Hence, high-speed signal transmission with differential lines is not only of great advantage of signal integrity and low power consumption of the PCB system, but also has a higher demand on the PCB designing level.

During pressing, glass film is fragile. Moreover, the surface roughening process of glass film is complex and hard to control. Meanwhile, the roughening process will destroy the isotropy of glass film at a certain extent. In addition, the process by using glass film is different from that by using conventional copper-clad plate, since equipment upgrading and adjustment are necessary.

Dk of the present invention refers to dielectric constant measured by SPDR method under a frequency of 10 GHz.
Df of the present invention refers to dielectric loss measured by SPDR method under a frequency of 10 GHz.
The glass fabrics of the present invention refer to glass fiber cloth, and comprise E-type glass fabrics, NE-type glass fabrics, S-type fabrics, D-type glass fabrics and the like, wherein each type of glass fabrics may be divided into the specifications and models, such as 7628, 2116, 1080, 106, 1037, 1078, 2112, 3313, 1500 and the like. Those skilled in the art know very well that glass fabrics are mainly used as reinforcing materials of the circuit substrate when applied in the field of the circuit substrate.
The resin composition of the present invention refers to a composition comprising resins and hardeners. For example, the epoxy resin composition refers to a composition comprising epoxy resins and suitable hardeners. Those skilled in the art not only can choose suitable hardeners and the amount thereof according to the resin used therein, but also can choose suitable organic solvents according to the resins and hardeners used therein.
The filler of the present invention refers to filling materials. The object of using fillers in the copper-clad plate industry is not just for lowering the cost, but also to increase the performance of the copper-clad plate, for example decreasing CTE, increasing the flame resistance, increasing the heat conductivity coefficient and the mechanical property of plates. With the development of the filler technology, more new fillers are used in copper-clad plates, for example, the functional filler for adjusting Dk of the pre-treating varnish in the present invention.
The pre-treating varnish in the present invention refers to one in which the resin composition of the present invention is dissolved in suitable organic solvent. Preferably, the pre-treating varnish of the present invention refers to a disperse system obtained by dissolving the resin composition of the present invention in suitable organic solvent and then adding fillers. By adjusting the amount of the fillers in the pre-treating varnish, those skilled in the art can make the pre-treating varnish have a suitable dielectric constant (Dk). In the present invention, the Dk of the pre-treating varnish is the Dk of the dried glue obtained by removing solvent from the pre-treating varnish. Such value is only relevant to the amounts of the resin composition and filler, but irrelevant to the amount of the solvent.
Glue-dipping of the present invention refers to dipping glass fabrics into the varnish, and then oven-drying solvent on the gluing machine.
Pre-glue-dipping of the present invention refers to dipping glass fabrics into the prefabricated varnish, and then oven-drying solvent on the gluing machine.
Main-glue-dipping of the present invention refers to dipping glass fabrics into the main varnish, and then oven-drying solvent on the gluing machine.
The resin content of the present invention refers to the mass percent of the solid composition including the resin, besides the reinforcing material, i.e. glass fabrics, in the pre-treated glass fabrics, bonding sheet and circuit substrate. For example, if the resin composition formula of the varnish comprises resins, hardeners and fillers, the resin content will be the mass percent of resins, hardeners and fillers. Resin content is a fixed vocabulary in the art. Those skilled in the art know that the resin content can be controlled by adjusting the technological parameters, such as the gap of the clip axis of the gluing machine, gluing speed of the gluing machine and the like, in combination with the solid content of the pre-treating varnish.
In order to pre-treat the current glass fabrics (e.g. E-type glass fabrics, NE-type glass fabrics), the specific method is to pre-treat glass fabrics with a pre-treating varnish having a Dk equivalent to that of glass fabrics and good matching attributes, to fill the grids and gaps of glass fabrics as the basic control object, to make less warp-wise and weft-wise difference in the dielectric constant thereof, so as to form semi-product, i.e. pre-treated glass fabrics, of the reinforcing material for main-glue-dipping.
According to the present invention, the pre-treating varnish may be a resin having a Dk equal to Dk±10% of glass fabrics, preferably Dk±5% of glass fabrics. The closer the Dk is to the Dk of glass fabrics, the less the warp-wise and weft-wise difference in the dielectric constant is, and the less the signal delay is.
According to the present invention, the glass fabric is either of E-type and NE-type glass fabric.
According to the present invention, the E-type glass fabric is pre-treated, wherein the pre-treating varnish has a Dk (10 GHz) of 6.2-6.6.
According to the present invention, the NE-type glass fabric is pre-treated, wherein the pre-treating varnish has a Dk (10 GHz) of 4.4-4.6.
According to the present invention, the pre-treated glass fabric has a resin content of from 20 wt. % to 50 wt. %.
If the resin content is too high, the pre-dipped varnish after main dipping will be mixed with the main-dipped varnish, so as to affect the gluing amount; if the resin content is too low, the filling of the voids of glass fabrics will spare so that the consistency of the warp-wise and weft-wise of dielectric constant will not be achieved to affect the time delay of signal transmission.
According to the present invention, the pre-treated glass fabric has a resin content of from 25 wt. % to 50 wt. % when the pre-treated glass fabric has a mass per unit area of less than 30 g/m2. The pre-treated glass fabric has a resin content of from 20 wt. % to 45 wt. % when the pre-treated glass fabric has a mass per unit area of from 30 g/m2 to 100 g/m2. The pre-treated glass fabric has a resin content of from 20 wt. % to 40 wt. % when the pre-treated glass fabric has a mass per unit area of from 100 g/m2 to 175 g/m2.
The resin content of the pre-treated glass fabric is chosen according to the mass per unit area of glass fabric. If the resin content is too high, the pre-dipped varnish after main dipping will be mixed with the main-dipped varnish, so as to affect the gluing amount of the main-dipping glue. Meanwhile, since the Dk of general glass fabrics is far higher than the Dk of the main-dipping varnish, the Dk of the prepared board after main-dipping will be so high that the dielectric performance of the circuit substrate will become worse. If the resin content is too low, the filling of the gaps of glass fabrics will spare so that the consistency of the warp-wise and weft-wise of dielectric constant will not be achieved, so as to affect the time delay of signal transmission.
According to the present invention, the resin composition comprises a resin and a hardener, wherein the resin is one or a mixture of at least two selected from the group consisting of epoxy resin, cyanate resin, polyphenyl ether resin, polybutadiene resin, copolymer resin of polybutadiene and styrene, polytetrafluoroethylene resin, polybenzoxazine resin, polyimide, silicon-containing resin, bismaleimide resin, liquid crystal polymer, bismaleimide triazine resin and thermoplastic resin.
The hardener is one or more selected from the group consisting of phenolic hardener, amine hardener, polymeric acid anhydride hardener, active ester and free radical initiator.
According to the present invention, the filler is one or more selected from the group consisting of silica (molten amorphous silica and crystalline silica), alumina, titanium dioxide (rutile-type titanium dioxide and anatase type titanium dioxide), barium titanate, strontium titanate, magnesium titanate, calcium titanate, barium strontium titanate, lead titanate and glass dust, wherein molten amorphous silica is preferred, and rutile-type titanium dioxide is preferred.
According to the present invention, to pre-treat glass fabric is to oven-dry organic solvent in the resin varnish. During the oven-drying process, the pre-treating varnish on glass fabric may be crosslinked.
According to the present invention, the method of pre-treating the E-type glass fabrics is characterized in,
According to the present invention, the process for pre-treating the NE-type glass fabrics is characterized in,
The second aspect of the present invention lies in providing a bonding sheet, comprising the specially pre-treated glass fabrics above and the resin composition glue-dipped onto the specially pre-treated glass fabrics.
