Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screen printing device with a fabric and arranged in the fabric template in the form of a photolithographically structured emulsion.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such a screen printing device.
  • Screen printing is a printing process in which an ink or print paste is printed through a fine mesh fabric onto the material to be printed with a knife-like tool, the rubber squeegee. Screen printing is therefore also referred to as a through-printing process.
  • the mesh apertures of the fabric are impermeable to the ink or printing paste by a stencil (e.g., photolithographically structured emulsion) disposed on the fabric.
  • LTCC Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics
  • vias involve represents.
  • the circuit elements are screen printed on the green sheets of the later ceramic support, which are then stacked and sintered.
  • thin-film process is itself a costly process.
  • thin-film structures can only be realized coplanar on the substrate surface. The use of multi-layer technology with fine-line structures could bring a significant cost reduction compared to thin-film technology and also offer the advantage of using several levels, including for screen layers.
  • the screen frames are usually made of aluminum and are covered with a steel mesh, which can be achieved during the printing process elastic deflection of the screen.
  • An elastic deflection of the screen during the printing process is required for the so-called bounce, d. H. for the realizable between tissue and substrate to be printed distance. For example, too little jump may lead to cloud formation in the print, since the fabric behind the squeegee does not immediately detach from the printed paste film - it remains "stuck" in the printed paste.
  • Too much bounce on the other hand, increases tissue tension which, on the one hand, leads to exceeding the elastic yield strength of the tissue and thus leading to premature aging of the fabric and, on the other, impure printouts due to paste spatters, so that the template edge can no longer draw a clean print image ,
  • the wire thickness of the fabrics used today is approximately between 30 micrometers and 16 micrometers.
  • the permeability of the fabric is described by its mesh size, which is indicated by the so-called mesh number.
  • 325 mesh means that there are 325 stitches per square inch (square inches).
  • the stencil is often made as a direct stencil by a photographic process.
  • the fabric is coated with photosensitive polymers, which with be exposed to the desired structures. Subsequently, the exposed structures are developed and the unexposed areas are washed out.
  • the fabric, stencil (emulsion) and printing frame together form the screen printing screen.
  • the printing paste is applied to the screen and distributed evenly on the structured screen by means of a so-called flood doctor blade. Subsequently, the actual printing takes place, wherein the squeegee is pulled over the wire with a suitably adjusted hardness.
  • the screen is in this printing at a certain distance from the substrate to be printed, for example, an LTCC film.
  • the screen is pressed by means of the printing doctor down elastically in the direction of the substrate to be printed.
  • a shear of the printing paste which reduces its viscosity due to their thixotropic property during the shear and thereby can be pressed through the openings of the screen printing screen. After completion of the shear stress, the printing paste again has the initial viscosity.
  • d. H If smaller resolutions of the printed structures (fine-line structures) are to be achieved, d. H. For example, if the resolution is less than 50 microns or even less than 30 microns, there is a problem that the fabric and the template must have correspondingly fine structures with small openings and these fine structures and small openings in the template and the fabric through the flow of colors or pastes inhibit the screen printing screen.
  • the plastic filaments of the fabric are coated with a vapor-deposited or sputtered cladding layer, which in turn is covered by a metal coating which bears the emulsion of the stencil and which has been produced by electroplating.
  • the cladding layer is produced by a sputtering or sputtering process with a layer thickness of about 5 nanometers to over 200 nanometers.
  • the application of the cladding layer by means of electrodeposition. For example, a copper or nickel layer is applied.
  • the metallised plastic fabric results in a highly reproducible stencil quality with excellent edge definition and exact ink dosage, as it ensures minimum elongation with sufficient basic strength.
  • that solves Tissue known from this document does not address the above problem, especially as it relates to a plastic fabric and not to a steel fabric used for printing circuit elements.
  • this is in the document DE 197 38 873 A1 specified production method for a screen printing device very expensive and costly.
  • the publication DE 10 2004 055 113 A1 discloses a method of hydrophilizing screen-printed stencil media which substantially improves the wetting of the stencil stencil sheet with stencil material.
  • the screen printing stencil carrier ie the screen printing fabric
  • this is provided with very finely divided oxide particles, such as nanometer particles of metal oxide, for example. Titanium oxide, alumina or zirconium oxide, and a wetting agent.
  • a wetting agent for example, a surfactant can be used.
  • the hydrophilizing agent may also be employed in the removal of stencil material from the screen-printed fabrics, preferably by adding it to the decoating liquid.
  • the screen stencil carrier is not only freed from the stencil material, but at the same time hydrophilized for the next coating process. Consequently, the coating of the screen-printed fabric indicated in this publication does not solve the above-indicated problem of producing finer structures.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a screen printing apparatus which enables the printing of finer structures.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a screen printing device, which allows easy and cost-effective the printing of finer structures, in particular for a steel fabric.
  • the object is achieved by a screen printing apparatus in which the fabric and / or the stencil has a coating which reduces the adhesion of a screen printing paste or a screen printing ink to the fabric and / or the stencil on the surface.
  • the inhibition of the flow or passage of the screen printing paste or the screen printing ink through the fabric stitches or reduces the openings in the template, so that a fabric with a smaller mesh size or a stencil with smaller openings can be used and thereby finer structures can be produced.
  • the effect of reduced adhesion of the screen printing paste or the screen printing ink to the fabric or stencil is also referred to as the lotus effect.
  • the non-stick coating is achieved particularly simply by means of a nanocrystalline coating, which preferably has crystals with a diameter of less than 10 nanometers, or an amorphous coating.
  • a nanocrystalline coating which preferably has crystals with a diameter of less than 10 nanometers, or an amorphous coating.
  • Such a coating also has the advantage that it can be applied very thin so that it does not cause any significant additional change in the mesh size or the opening width of the template.
  • a carbon compound having a diamond-like structure (DLC) and / or a fluoride and / or a fluorine-based compound, preferably Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE), and / or a silicon-based compound can be used.
  • the screen printing device has a coating of a layer thickness between about 100 nm and about a few micrometers.
  • these layer thicknesses are sufficiently thick to ensure with a high degree of stability the easier passage of the screen printing ink or the screen printing paste through the fabric stitches or the stencil openings, and on the other hand permit the printing of fine-line structures.
  • the coating is designed to be oleophobic in order to suppress sticking / sticking .
  • This design of the screen printing device causes a clean distribution of the screen printing paste or the screen printing ink (flooding of the screen) on the Top and a good detachment of the screen printing paste or the screen printing ink after the elimination of the shear applied by the shear forces on the underside of Siebdrucksiebs.
  • the above object is also achieved by a method of manufacturing a screen printing apparatus in which the fabric is adhered to the fabric prior to applying the template to the fabric and / or the fabric and the template is applied to the fabric after application of the template to the fabric a screen printing paste or a screen printing ink to the fabric or stencil-reducing coating is provided.
  • the inventive method causes very simple and inexpensive, the tissue can be used with smaller mesh size or templates with smaller openings and thereby allows the pressure of finer structures.
  • the method according to the invention involves only a single additional coating step for this purpose.
  • the known method for producing a screen printing device is thereby not significantly more expensive or complicated.
  • a particularly simple and cost-effective coating option is given by a coating which is nanocrystalline, preferably with a crystal diameter of less than 10 nanometers, or amorphous.
  • a coating of a layer thickness of between about 100 nm and about a few micrometers is produced. As already indicated above, these layer thicknesses allow the printing of fine-line structures with a high resistance.
  • an inexpensive coating can be achieved by a coating material which contains a carbon compound with a diamond-like structure (DLC) and / or a fluoride and / or a fluorine-based compound, preferably PTFE, and / or a silicon-based compound. Further improvement of the coating properties can be achieved by placing the fabric and / or the stencil on top with an oleophilic (lipophilic / hydrophobic / hydrophobic) coating and / or on the underside of the fabric and / or the stencil and or the interstices of the fabric and / or the template are provided with an oleophobic coating.
  • DLC diamond-like structure
  • the steel mesh of a screen printing device is coated after a plasma cleaning step by means of a plasma CVD process either with a silicone-like amorphous surface with about 100 nm layer thickness or with a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) layer of 1 .mu.m (for example, trade name CARBOCER ® from PLASMA ELECTRONIC GmbH).
  • the DLC coating is significantly harder than the silicone-type, whereas the latter can be applied at lower process temperatures.
  • the coating of the fabric takes place at a temperature of about 80 ° C or correspondingly lower.
  • the template is applied to the fabric.
  • the stencil can be provided with this coating. The sequence depends on the material of the stencil and its heat resistance.
