Stencils fabrication

Figure 2 shows deposit height and area data, as well as the volume of paste released by individual apertures in a set of test stencils fabricated using electro-form and laser-cut processes. Because paste volume is closely related to the quality of the mechanical joint created between the device interconnect and the land during reflow, this investigation makes valuable data available in the quest to develop high-yield assembly processes based on lead-free materials. 

The metal-RIE process is used in the fabrication of Al interconnects on chips. In this process, a blanket thin film of Al (or Al alloys, like Al—Cu, Al—Si) is deposited and then etched in a reactive plasma (RIE) through a photoresist stencil. After RIE, a... 

Of the mass-transfer dispensing methods, screen printing and stencil printing are the oldest and most widely used. Screen printing has been used for over 40 years in the electronics industry to apply thick-film conductors, resistors, and dielectrics in fabricating circuits on ceramic and plastic-laminate substrates. Screen printing is also used as a batch process for depositing electrically conductive and insulative adhesives to interconnect devices on thin-film and thick-film hybrid microcircuits.

The screen printing process uses a porous mesh stretched tightly over a frame made of wood or metal. Fig. 9.1 The mesh is made of porous fabric or stainless steel. A stencil is produced on the screen either manually or photochemically defining the image to be printed. Thus, the design of the stencil allows to obtain a wide range of screen-printed electrodes in which the electrodic configuration, as well as the size and form of these electrodes can be controlled.

Screen printing - A method of printing similar to using a stencil. The areas of the screen through which the coloring matter is not to pass are filled with a waterproof material. The printing paste which contains the dye is then forced through the untreated portions of the screen onto the fabric below.
