Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screen printing, in particular to a combined screen for testing the performance of front silver paste. Background Art
[0002] Chip resistors are common electronic components, currently widely used in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles and other fields. The front conductive silver paste (hereinafter referred to as C1) is overlapped on both ends of the resistor body (hereinafter referred to as R), directly connecting the resistor body and acting as an electrode, connecting the resistor body to the circuit. It is a key material. In the general process, C1 at both ends is first printed and sintered on an alumina substrate, and then R is printed and sintered on the C1 sintered film, forming the core circuit of the chip resistor component.
[0003] There are two key performance requirements for front conductive silver paste:
[0004] 1. C1-R compatibility: Because both C1 and R pastes contain glass frit, metals, and oxides, component reactions, shrinkage mismatches, and localized overburning can occur during sintering, leading to sintering blistering at the C1-R overlap. In actual production, the overlap area between C1 and R is relatively small, making blistering difficult to detect.
[0005] 2. C1 itself has a certain impact on the TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) of the resistor body R. If the impact is too significant, the chip resistor will exceed the original TCR design range, resulting in device failure. Generally, the TCR of chip electronic components is often tested at the final stage of the manufacturing process (the package testing stage). During the C1 development process, if the TCR is tested after each sample is completed, it will greatly affect development efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, it is crucial to develop a stencil for testing the performance of front-side conductive silver paste to ensure test accuracy while improving product development efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0043] In this embodiment, the steps for testing the performance of the front silver paste using the combined stencil are as follows:
[0044] (1) Using the first screen, different types of 2.1C1 slurries (for comparison) were printed on an alumina substrate and then sintered in air;
[0045] (2) Use a second screen to print the same R paste on the alumina substrate that has completed C1 printing and sintering, wherein the rectangular graphic area D 9 is required to overlap the lower part of the horizontal part and the upper part of the rectangular graphic area B 5; the rectangular graphic area C8 is completely printed above the rectangular graphic area A 3, so that at least two rectangular graphic areas C 8 are in overall contact with R, increasing the C1-R contact area and making it easier to observe whether bubbles appear after sintering, and then complete the sintering in an air atmosphere.
[0046] (3) C1-R compatibility test: Observe the number of bubbles in at least two rectangular graphic areas C8 and calculate the bubble ratio to evaluate the compatibility of different C1 to R.
[0047] (4) TCR test: insert the sample after sintering into the fixture of TCR special test equipment, and clamp the T-shaped graphic area 4 and the rectangular graphic area B 5 (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a conductive path similar to the chip resistor C1-R overlap can be achieved. The TCR test of the R sample with completed overlap is performed to evaluate the impact of C1 on the R TCR.

[0054] (2) Use the second screen to print the same R paste on the alumina substrate that has completed C1 printing and sintering. The 56 rectangular graphic areas C 8 graphics are in contact with R as a whole, increasing the C1-R contact area and making it easier to observe whether bubbles appear after sintering. Figure 3 As shown, sintering is then completed in an air atmosphere.
[0055] (3) C1-R compatibility test
