Abstract

Provided are a circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same which increase a peel strength between a prepreg and a copper plating layer. The method includes: providing a substrate including a first circuit pattern and a first prepreg; forming a plurality of holes on a top surface of the first prepreg; removing silica fillers contained in inner walls of the plurality of holes; and performing copper plating on the top surface of the first prepreg.

Claims (49)

1 . A method of manufacturing a circuit board, the method comprising:

providing a substrate comprising a first circuit pattern and a first prepreg;

forming a plurality of holes on a top surface of the first prepreg;

removing silica fillers contained in inner walls of the plurality of holes; and

performing copper plating on the top surface of the first prepreg.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing of the substrate comprises:

preparing the substrate where the first circuit pattern is formed on a top surface of the substrate;

sequentially disposing the first prepreg and a copper foil on the top surface of the substrate where the first circuit pattern is formed;

compressing the copper foil and the prepreg to the substrate; and

removing the copper foil.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the copper foil is a common copper foil, and

wherein a smooth surface of the copper foil adjoins the first prepreg.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the silica fillers are removed by using a hydrofluoric acid-containing mixture.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the copper plating comprises:

forming one or more craters on the top surface of the first prepreg to expose copper wires included in the first circuit pattern to the outside;

forming a seed layer formed of copper by using non-electrolysis means on a top surface of the first prepreg where the one or more craters are formed; and

forming a copper plating layer on the seed layer by using electrolysis means.

6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing the substrate with a second circuit pattern and a second prepreg;

forming a plurality of second holes on a bottom surface of the second prepreg;

removing silica fillers contained in inner walls of the plurality of second holes; and

performing copper plating on the bottom surface of the second prepreg.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second circuit pattern and the second prepreg are sequentially stacked on a top surface of the substrate.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first circuit pattern on the top surface of the substrate and the second circuit pattern on the bottom surface of the substrate are in contact.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second prepreg is a common prepreg commonly used in a multi-layer substrate.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first prepreg and the second prepreg are in contact.

11 . The method of claim 6 further comprising forming a fourth circuit pattern on the bottom surface of the second prepreg, wherein the fourth circuit pattern is in contact with the second circuit pattern.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first circuit pattern and the prepreg are sequentially stacked on a top surface of the substrate.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first prepreg comprises an insulating material.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first prepreg is a common prepreg commonly used in a multi-layer substrate.

15 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

forming a third circuit pattern on the top surface of the first prepreg,

wherein the third circuit pattern is in contact with the first circuit pattern.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming the plurality of holes on a top surface of the first prepreg comprises:

performing desmearing on the top surface of the first prepreg; and

performing swelling on the top surface of the first prepreg.

17 . A circuit board comprising:

a substrate;

a first circuit pattern formed on a top surface of the substrate;

a prepreg adhered to the first circuit pattern;

a plurality of first holes formed in a top surface of the prepreg; and

one or more first auxiliary holes formed on surfaces of the plurality of first holes by removing silica fillers contained in inner walls of the plurality of first holes.

18 . The circuit board of claim 17 , further comprising:

a second circuit pattern formed on a bottom surface of the substrate;

a second prepreg adhered to a bottom surface of the second circuit pattern;

a plurality of second holes formed in a bottom surface of the second prepreg; and

one or more second auxiliary holes formed on surfaces of the plurality of second holes by removing silica fillers contained in the inner walls of the plurality of second holes.

19 . The circuit board of claim 17 , further comprising a third circuit pattern on the top surface of the first prepreg, wherein the third circuit pattern is in contact with the first circuit pattern

20 . The circuit board of claim 18 , further comprising a fourth circuit pattern on the bottom surface of the second prepreg, wherein the fourth circuit pattern is in contact with the second circuit pattern.
