This application claims the foreign priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0127190, filed on Oct. 24, 2013, entitled “Insulation Materials, Printed Circuit Board and the Method of Manufacturing the Same” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to an insulation material, a printed circuit board using the same, and a method of manufacturing the same.
High integration of electronic components according to miniaturization of an electronic device has been rapidly conducted. This trend has also required various changes for a printed circuit board (PCB). In accordance with trends into fineness of a line/space and a chip connection pad interval and mobilization, thinness has been performed and high multi-layer according to high integration has been required, thereby sharply increasing manufacturing costs. In addition, demand intended to conduct a through hole of a core layer and a blind via hole of a build-up layer with fill plating has been increased. In this case, in order to smoothly perform the fill plating within the hole, a structure within the hole allowing a plating solution to be actively circulated is essential.

As shown in
In addition, the reinforcement material 100 may be formed of glass cloth extended in a horizontal direction of a paper and glass cloth extended in a vertical direction of a paper.
In this case, the reinforcement material 100 may be formed in the remaining portions except for the via region 200.
As shown in
Here, the reinforcement material 100 may be glass cloth.
The insulation layer 1000 may have a structure in which the reinforcement material 100 is impregnated in a resin 101.
Here, the resin 101 may be a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin or a thermoplastic resin such as polyimide. Alternatively, the thermosetting resin, a photocurable resin, and the like may be used.

The circuit layers 201 and 202 may be made of any conductive metal for a circuit without limit and be typically made of copper in the printed circuit board.
A surface treatment layer (not shown) may be further formed on an exposed circuit layer, if necessary.
The surface treatment layer may be formed by electro gold plating, immersion gold plating, organic solderability preservative (OSP) or immersion tin plating, immersion silver plating, electroless nickel and immersion gold (ENIG), direct immersion gold (DIG) plating, hot air solder leveling (HASL), or the like, for example. The method of forming the surface treatment layer is not particularly limited thereto as long as it is known in the art.
The via region 200 may have a diameter larger than that of the via 203.
Accordingly, a side part of the formed via 203 and the reinforcement 100 may be spaced apart from each other.
The via 203 may have a sandglass shape.

The method of forming the surface treatment layer is not particularly limited thereto as long as it is known in the art.
The via region 200 may have a diameter larger than that of the via 203.
Accordingly, a side part of the formed via 203 and the reinforcement material 100 may be spaced apart from each other.
A shape of the via 203 may be a taper shape in which the diameter of the via 203 becomes smaller toward a lower end portion thereof.

As shown in
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the insulation material, the printed circuit board using the same, and the method of manufacturing the same do not have the glass cloth in the via region, thereby making it possible to increase the reliability upon machining the via hole using the laser drill.
In addition, since the glass cloth is not within the via, the plating solution is freely circulated, thereby making it possible to improve the void defect.
