摘要:
Disclosed is a printed circuit board with opto-via holes for transmitting an optical signal to an optical waveguide in the PCB, and a process of forming the opto-via holes. The process comprises forming a plurality of via holes on a plurality of copper clad laminates using a drill, plating an inner wall of each via hole, exposing and etching the plated portions of an upper and lower side of each copper clad laminate to form a circuit pattern on the upper and lower side of the copper clad laminate, layering the patterned copper clad laminates on each other using an insulating resin adhesive, and removing the insulating resin adhesive in the predetermined via holes to form opto-via holes. Therefore, the process is advantageous in that the optical signal is stably transmitted to the optical waveguide in the PCB without damage to the optical waveguide directly exposed to an external environment, and the optical waveguide suitable to physical properties of the material constituting the PCB is easily inserted between the inner layer and the outer layer.

Disclosed is a method of fabricating a multi-layered PCB, in which the optical waveguide component is inserted into the PCB in such a way that a prepreg adhesive does not block an optical signal entrance of the optical waveguide. The method comprises pre-routing a portion of an adhesive meeting the optical waveguide to remove said portion, processing an adhesive weeping prevention layer so as to prevent the adhesive from blocking the optical signal entrance of the optical waveguide, arranging the optical waveguide, the adhesive, and the adhesive weeping prevention layer on a copper clad laminate, and combining the optical waveguide, a prepreg, and the adhesive weeping prevention layer with each other into a single structure. The adhesive weeping prevention layer is selected from the group consisting of a prepreg, a single-sided copper clad laminate, a thermally curable resin, a heat spreader, and an unclad. Therefore, the method is advantageous in that the prepreg and the adhesive weeping prevention layer are pre-routed to prevent epoxy resin from blocking the optical signal entrance of the optical waveguide, thereby facilitating precise interfacing of optical signals.
摘要:
Disclosed is an optical printed circuit board (PCB) for long-distance signal transmission, which is combined with fiber blocks and pipe blocks embedded in opto-via holes to form a multi-layered optical PCB, and transmits an optical signal using a fiber ribbon when an optical signal transmission distance between layers constituting the multi-layered optical PCB is longer than a length of an optical waveguide element used in conjunction with a silicon substrate. The optical PCB comprises a base substrate including an insulating material, a copper foil, and an opto-via hole, and an optical signal transmission member attached to the base substrate to horizontally transmit an optical signal. An optical signal connection member is horizontally connected to the optical signal transmission member to transmit the optical signal across a desired distance. Therefore, an optical PCB of the present invention is advantageous in that an optical waveguide, a pipe block, and a fiber block are horizontally and optionally arranged and attached to each other, thereby transmitting an optical signal across a longer distance than a length of a silicone substrate.
