Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of circuit boards, in particular to a circuit board assembly and a manufacturing method and application thereof.

Background

With the development of the market, TOF camera modules are gradually applied to small mobile devices such as mobile phones, however, for TOF camera modules, the TOF camera modules include a light source unit and a receiving unit, wherein the light source unit can emit a large amount of heat when emitting light outwards, and when the heat is accumulated at the position of the light source unit, the working quality and the working efficiency of the light source unit are affected, so that the imaging accuracy of the whole TOF camera module is affected.

The light source unit generally includes a light emitting element and a circuit board, wherein the light emitting element is supported on the circuit board and dissipates heat through the circuit board. Common circuit boards in the market generally have common rigid-flex boards, but the heat dissipation performance of the common circuit boards is poor.

Further, the rigid-flex board has poor heat dissipation performance due to itself, and for the multilayer circuit board, the reduction of the thickness dimension of the whole circuit board is limited due to the existence of via holes (vias). The smaller the via size, the higher the overall process requirements and, thus, the higher the cost of the circuit board. That is, it is difficult for a general rigid-flex board to satisfy the current requirement of the electronic device for heat dissipation performance and the requirement of the electronic device for light weight and thin weight.

The existing ceramic substrate has good heat dissipation performance, but the cost is high, and the production capacity of the enterprise which is relevant to the existing ceramic substrate production capacity is limited, so that the large-scale market demand of the current mobile phone or other electronic equipment cannot be met.
