Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention will be understood in specific cases by those of ordinary skill in the art. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in terms of its overall structure.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the invention discloses a method for laser titanium copper blind holes, which comprises the following steps:
selecting a proper titanium copper plate as a substrate and fixing the substrate on a workbench of a laser puncher;
Step two, adopting a pulse laser or fiber laser system with short pulse and high repetition frequency to adjust the focusing point of a laser head to the surface of the substrate;
Grabbing MARK points for alignment, ensuring that the focus point of laser is consistent with the position of the pre-punched blind hole, and gradually deepening the hole by adopting a mode of multiple laser scanning until the blind hole is machined;
filling copper into the processed blind holes by using an electroplating process to form conductive channels;
And fifthly, polishing and cleaning the electroplated blind holes.
According to the above steps, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a person skilled in the art selects a high-purity corrosion-resistant titanium copper plate as a substrate to ensure good mechanical properties and conductivity, and fixes the titanium copper plate with the titanium gold coating layer on a workbench of a laser puncher to ensure stability. In addition, the laser device preferably adopts a pulse laser or fiber laser system with short pulse and high repetition frequency, and the laser system has excellent focusing performance and is suitable for micro-machining. Before processing the blind hole, the surface of the substrate is smooth and free of impurities, the focusing point of the laser head is adjusted to be vertical to the surface of the substrate, and the focusing point is arranged on the surface of the substrate or slightly lower than the surface of the substrate, so that the optimal processing effect is achieved. Calibrating a plurality of reference MARK points on the substrate, and monitoring in real time through a camera system to ensure the consistency of laser focusing points and the positions of preset blind holes. Because titanium copper material hardness is high and the thermal conductivity is strong, laser energy can be dispersed rapidly, is difficult to concentrate on a point to form high quality blind hole to, the high temperature that produces in the laser processing process can lead to material deformation or fusion sputtering, is especially unfavorable to high accuracy blind hole processing, consequently, adopts the scanning technique many times in the blind hole processing's in-process, deepens the hole gradually, and the technicians can set for processing depth and speed, in order to avoid overheated material damage that causes. After the blind hole is processed, the treatment before electroplating is carried out, so that the smoothness of the inner surface of the hole is ensured, the adhesion of copper is facilitated, the direct current electroplating method can be adopted, electroplating is carried out in specific electrolyte, the uniformity of a copper layer is ensured, the adhesion is strong, and a good conductive channel is formed. After electroplating is completed, the polishing machine is used for polishing the blind holes, redundant copper layers are removed, and the accuracy and the conductivity of the blind holes are ensured. And finally, cleaning and drying are carried out to ensure that the product meets the technical requirements and the use standard.
Specifically, in the second step, the power of the pulse laser is 11W, the frequency range is 40KHZ-90KHZ, and the light path light spot is 15um. The power of 11W and the frequency range of 40kHz-90kHz can realize faster punching speed, reduce processing time and improve overall efficiency. The diameter of the light spot of 15um enables the aperture to be controlled more accurately in the processing process of the laser, and ensures that the size and shape of the blind hole meet the design requirements. The shorter pulse and the high frequency can effectively reduce the heat input and the heat affected zone of the materials around the substrate, thereby reducing deformation and oxidization and improving the quality of the blind holes. The accurate laser processing can reduce burrs and surface roughness, thereby improving the surface quality after electroplating and enhancing the performance of the conductive channel.
In this embodiment, in the first step, the method further includes pre-treating the substrate, cleaning the titanium Jin Fu cover layer covering the surface of the substrate, and ultrasonic cleaning may be used to remove greasy dirt, dust and other pollutants. After the pretreatment is finished, the substrate is firmly fixed on a workbench of a laser puncher by using a vacuum chuck or a mechanical clamp. The vacuum chuck is suitable for leveling the surface, the mechanical clamp is suitable for the substrate with complex shape, and the fixing device can ensure that the substrate cannot displace in the processing process, so that the accuracy of the position of the blind hole is ensured.
In the third embodiment, in the step three, the hole is deepened by adopting a multiple laser scanning mode, in this process, the auxiliary gas (such as nitrogen) is used to effectively reduce the oxidation reaction of the surface of the substrate, and simultaneously help to cool the substrate so as to reduce the thermal deformation caused by the thermal effect, wherein the flow and the pressure of the auxiliary gas can be adjusted according to the specific processing condition so as to achieve the optimal effect.
The invention also comprises precision correction, and GCAL and SCAL precision correction are important links for ensuring the machining precision in the process of machining the blind hole. GCAL is "Gain Calibration" and is mainly used for calibrating the signal amplification factor of a laser. In the process of receiving and processing signals by the laser machine, weak signals need to be amplified to a proper degree for measurement and processing, and GCAL is the accuracy of the amplification process. For example, when a laser is used for detecting weak reflected light signals, the signals can be accurately amplified through gain calibration, so that subsequent systems can be accurately identified and processed. SCAL is "proportional calibration (Scale Calibration)", and focuses on calibrating the proportional relationship between the measured value and the actual physical quantity of the laser machine, so as to ensure that the measured result displayed by the laser machine and the actual physical quantity are accurate corresponding relationships. For example, when a laser is used to measure distance, the proportional calibration ensures that the distance value displayed corresponds exactly to the actual distance. GCAL concerns whether the signal amplification is correct or not, which is the calibration of the signal processing link, while the SCAL focuses on whether the ratio between the measurement result and the actual physical quantity is accurate or not, which is the calibration of the overall measurement accuracy. The automatic correction frequency of GCAL precision correction is set to be once every 24 hours, and the SCAL precision correction is set to be once every 30 minutes. The two corrections are monitored in real time through a high-precision sensor, and the machining parameters of the equipment are timely adjusted, so that the stability and consistency of each machining are ensured.
Before processing the blind hole, drawing software (such as CAD software) is needed to accurately position the blind hole, the design drawing is converted into a processing program which can be identified by the laser puncher, and the alignment of the focusing point of the laser and the position of the blind hole is ensured by the guiding program, so that deviation is avoided.
Preferably, in the fourth step, after the blind hole is machined, electroplating is performed in the hole. The electroplating process requires a constant current density to ensure uniform deposition of the copper layer. After electroplating, polishing and cleaning are carried out to remove redundant copper layers and impurities on the surface, so that the product meets the requirements of conductivity and appearance.
