METHOD OF MAKING THERMALLY ENHANCED WIRING BOARD HAVING ISOLATOR INCORPORATED THEREIN

摘要

A method of making a wiring board having a low CTE isolator incorporated in a resin core is characterized by the provision of an adhesive substantially coplanar with the metallized isolator and the metal layers on two opposite sides of the resin core at smoothed lapped top and bottom surfaces so that a metal bridge can be deposited on the adhesive at the smoothed lapped bottom surface and connect the metallized isolator with a surrounding heat spreader on the bottom surface of the resin core. In the method, routing circuitries are also deposited on the adhesive at the smoothed lapped top surface so as to provide electrical connections between contact pads on the isolator and terminal pads on the resin core.

1. A method of making a thermally enhanced wiring board having isolator incorporated therein, comprising steps of:
providing an isolator having opposite planar first and second sides, wherein the isolator is made of a thermally conductive and electrically insulating material; depositing first and second metal films respectively on the first and second sides of the isolator to provide a metallized isolator; providing a stacking structure that includes first and second metal layers, a binding film disposed between the first and second metal layers, and an aperture formed in the stacking structure, wherein the first and second metal layers each have a planar surface; inserting the metallized isolator into the aperture of the stacking structure with the first metal film on the isolator and the first metal layer of the stacking structure facing towards the same direction, and then curing the binding film to form a resin core that has a first side bonded to the first metal layer and an opposite second side bonded to the second metal layer, wherein the stacking structure is adhered to sidewalls of the metallized isolator by an adhesive squeezed out from the binding film into a gap between the stacking structure and the metallized isolator; removing an excess portion of the squeezed out adhesive, thereby the adhesive having a first surface substantially coplanar with the first metal film on the isolator and the first metal layer of the stacking structure, and an opposite second surface substantially coplanar with the second metal film on the isolator and the second metal layer of the stacking structure; depositing a continuous thermally conductive joint layer on the first surface of the adhesive, the first metal film and the first metal layer, so as to connect the first metal film on the isolator to the first metal layer on the resin core; and forming contact pads on the second side of the isolator, terminal pads on the second side of the resin core, and routing circuitries that electrically connect the contact pads to the terminal pads.
