Abstract

A circuit board includes a substrate, a patterned copper layer, a phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, an electroless plating palladium layer and an immersion plating gold layer. The patterned copper layer is disposed on the substrate. The phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer is disposed on the patterned copper layer, wherein in the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of phosphorous is in a range from 4% to 6%, and a weight percentage of palladium is in a range from 94% to 96%. The electroless plating palladium layer is disposed on the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, wherein in the electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of palladium is 99% or more. The immersion plating gold layer is disposed on the electroless plating palladium layer.

Claims (24)

1. A circuit board, comprising:

a substrate;

a patterned copper layer, disposed on the substrate and exposing a portion of the substrate;

a phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, disposed on the patterned copper layer, wherein in the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of phosphorous is in a range from 4% to 6%, and a weight percentage of palladium is in a range from 94% to 96%;

an electroless plating palladium layer, disposed on the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, wherein in the electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of palladium is at least 99% or more; and

an immersion plating gold layer, disposed on the electroless plating palladium layer.

2. The circuit board as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a phosphorous-containing electroless plating nickel layer, disposed between the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer and the patterned copper layer, wherein in the phosphorous-containing electroless plating nickel layer, a weight percentage of phosphorous is in a range from 6% to 12%.

3. The circuit board as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a solder mask layer, disposed on the substrate and at least covering the substrate, wherein the solder mask layer has a plurality of openings, the openings expose a portion of the patterned copper layer to define a plurality of pads, and the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, the electroless plating palladium layer, and the immersion plating gold layer are sequentially stacked on the pads.

4. The circuit board as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the openings of the solder mask layer are solder mask defined openings, and the pads exposed by the openings are solder mask defined pads.

5. The circuit board as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the openings of the solder mask layer are non-solder mask defined openings, and the pads exposed by the openings are non-solder mask defined pads.

6. A manufacturing method of a circuit board, comprising:

providing a substrate;

forming a patterned copper layer on the substrate, wherein the patterned copper layer covers the substrate and exposes a portion of the substrate;

forming a phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer on the patterned copper layer, wherein the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer covers the patterned copper layer, and in the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of phosphorous is in a range from 4% to 6%, and a weight percentage of palladium is in a range from 94% to 96%;

forming an electroless plating palladium layer on the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, wherein the electroless plating palladium layer covers the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, and in the electroless plating palladium layer, a weight percentage of palladium is at least 99% or more; and

forming an immersion plating gold layer on the electroless plating palladium layer, wherein the immersion plating gold layer covers the electroless plating palladium layer.

7. The manufacturing method of the circuit board as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:

before forming the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer, forming a phosphorous-containing electroless plating nickel layer on the patterned copper layer, wherein the phosphorous-containing electroless plating nickel layer is disposed between the phosphorous-containing electroless plating palladium layer and the patterned copper layer, and in the phosphorous-containing electroless plating nickel layer, a weight percentage of phosphorous is in a range from 6% to 12%.

8. The manufacturing method of the circuit board as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:

after forming the patterned copper layer, forming a solder mask layer on the substrate, wherein the solder mask layer at least covers the substrate, the solder mask layer has a plurality of openings, and the openings expose a portion of the patterned copper layer and define a plurality of pads.

9. The manufacturing method of the circuit board as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the openings of the solder mask layer are solder mask defined openings, and the pads exposed by the openings are solder mask defined pads.

10. The manufacturing method of the circuit board as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the openings of the solder mask layer are non-solder mask defined openings, and the pads exposed by the openings are non-solder mask defined pads.
