Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to electronic component technical field, concretely relates to a screen for multilayer ceramic capacitor production. BACKGROUND

[0002] The manufacturing of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) is a highly precise and complex process that utilizes screen printing technology to precisely control the layout of electrodes. This process begins with batching and slurry preparation, where ceramic powder (such as barium titanate and its derivatives) is mixed with a binder and solvent, homogenized through ball milling, forming a ceramic slurry. Subsequently, the slurry is coated onto a PET film through a flow casting process, forming a ceramic film sheet, and most of the solvent is removed through hot air drying. Screen printing is one of the key steps, which ensures that the internal electrodes are precisely printed on the dried ceramic film sheet according to the designed pattern. These film sheets with internal electrodes are stacked in a specific staggered manner, a process called lamination, with the purpose of forming a structure in which multiple capacitor units are connected in parallel at the microscopic level. During lamination, ceramic protective sheets are added on top and bottom to enhance the mechanical strength and insulation performance of the final product. The "bar" after lamination is subjected to lamination, and through isostatic pressing technology, it is pressurized in a vacuum-sealed bag, so that each layer is tightly combined. After that, this preform is cut into independent capacitor green bodies, each of which contains multiple potential capacitor units. In the degassing stage, organic matter is removed to prevent delamination or cracking due to rapid evaporation of organic matter during sintering, ensuring the integrity of the ceramic structure. Then, the sintering process is carried out at high temperature, which makes the ceramic reach the final physical and electrical properties, forming a high-density, high-dielectric-constant ceramic body. Finally, through the burn-out process, these external electrodes are fixed to ensure firm bonding with the ceramic body, and thus a complete multilayer ceramic capacitor is born.

[0003] Among them, the tool used in the screen printing process is a screen. In the design of the screen, the internal electrode parameter design is first needed. At the same time, the design of the cutting space is also needed, and the role of the cutting space is to guide the position of the cutting knife during the cutting process. In the printing process, the screen is used to print the internal electrode pattern and the cutting space at the same time, and the space pattern between the cutting spaces is not printed with metal internal electrodes. In the subsequent lamination process, due to the height difference between the position of the printed internal electrode pattern and the position of the space pattern between the cutting spaces, this height difference will cause uneven stress during the lamination step, which will result in deformation of the printed cutting space, thereby affecting the green body cutting accuracy and the cutting yield.
