Abstract:

First published in the 2012 IPC APEX EXPO technical conference proceedings. This paper will examine stencil technologies (including Laser and Electroform), Aperture Wall coatings (including Nickel-Teflon coatings and Nano-coatings), and how these parameters influence paste transfer for miniature devices with Area Ratios less than the standard recommended lower limit of .5. A matrix of print tests will be utilized to compare paste transfer and measure the effectiveness of the different stencil configurations. Area Ratios ranging from .32 to .68 will be investigated....

The Electroformed stencil with Nickel-Teflon plating had good transfer for each aperture size until the 150 micron opening. Why do you suppose that it had such a dramatic roll-off in transfer rate with that small aperture?

Are there coatings that improve the performance for smaller apertures when using Laser-Cut stencils?
