According to the type and application field of HDI boards, it is mainly divided into the following three scenarios:<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"header-vfC6AV auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">(1) Ordinary HDI Boards: Mainstream Application in Consumer Electronics<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br paragraph-JOTKXA paragraph-element br-paragraph-space\">In HDI boards for consumer electronics such as mobile phone motherboards, tablets, and smart watches, laser drilling is mainly used to process\u00a0<strong>1st-order\/2nd-order blind vias<\/strong>\u00a0to achieve &#8220;high-density interconnection between surface circuits and inner circuits&#8221;.

Traditional mechanical drilling (minimum aperture about 150\u03bcm) cannot meet this requirement.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"header-vfC6AV auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">(2) Flexible HDI Boards: Adaptation to Dynamic Bending Scenarios<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br paragraph-JOTKXA paragraph-element br-paragraph-space\">In flexible HDI boards such as folding screen mobile phone hinge circuits and smart watch strap circuits, laser drilling needs to balance &#8220;micro-aperture&#8221; and &#8220;low damage&#8221; to avoid substrate brittleness caused by drilling.
