FEM simulation of stencil deformation Final Report 04.15.2009 Rev.: 22.05.2009 Dr. László Jakab, László Milán Molnár, Olivér Krammer
WORKPLAN OF THE PROJECT BOSCH - STENCIL_FEM
CONTENTS 1. Investigating stencil deformation in case of point loading: Stencil is loaded at the center; different sizes of underside supports were used; pilot FEM model of the stencil was created according to deformation results. 2. FEM model of a real squeegee: Finite Element model of a printing squeegee was created on the base of squeegee deformation experiments; squeegee is inserted into the stencil FEM model. 3. Stencil deformation by squeegee loading: Stencil is loaded at different locations by a printing squeegee; different sizes of underside supports were used; final FEM model of the stencil was created (including the squeegee) according to deformation results. 4. Testboard for stencil printing experiment: Testboard was designed according to BOSCH requirements; thick steps (with different distances from pads) were formed by selective electroplating. 5. Stencil printing experiment: Stencil printing experiment was carried out using testboards with different step thicknesses; the deposited paste height was measured and simulated; keepout area rule was set up on the basis of simulation results.
