NanoSlic Gold stencil, for solder paste printing, has a coated stencil underside and aperture walls, making them highly hydrophobic and oleophobic in order to repel solder paste. Coating is thermally cured and permanent, and said to improve solder paste transfer efficiencies for small apertures, resulting in higher yields and less rework. reportedly minimizes bridging and reduces underside cleaning. Is compatible with current assembly equipment and processes.
