• Трафарет:
  • При наличии больших падов на пузе компонентов - разделять paste mask на более мелкие области, чтобы паста не растекалась от излишка
  • Если via в падах - есть вероятность протекания пасты при пайке, возникновения мусора на обратной стороне и вокруг и плохой в итоге пайки
    • можно не более определённого диаетра - 0.3???
    • иначе надо:
      • либо закрывать маской ???
      • либо заполнять компаундом
      • либо не наносить пасту на отверстия (предусматривать в трафарете)
  • на трафарете fiducial points надо не вырезать, не не вырезать, а гравировать - тогда автомат будет хорошо сопоставлять плату и трафарет
    • делается отдельным gerber слоем - информация для гравирвки

IPC−7525 provides guidelines on the design of stencils for surface mount. There are three major factors that affect the solder paste release performance of the stencil during the printing operation:

• the area ratio and aspect ratio of the aperture;
• the sidewall design;
• the surface finish of the stencil walls.

Laser−cut stencil with complementary electro−polishing is recommended to improve solder paste release performance. Generally, the aspect ratio should be >1.5 and the area ratio >0.66.

However, in certain cases, depending ontermination size and termination pitch the aspect and area ratio may change.

Common stencil thicknesses for WLCSP are 0.100 and 0.125 (4 and 5 mils, respectively). Tapering on the stencil aperture is usually between 2 to 5°, which can be achieved by making the PCB contact side 0.025 mm larger than the squeegee side.

Additionally, curved corners for rectangular apertures promote better paste release and stencil cleaning. Reducing the stencil aperture to less than that of the board land pad is desirable to enhance the process of printing, reflow, and stencil cleaning. This minimizes the board pad and stencil opening misalignment.

Both square and round shaped apertures have been used successfully, however square shaped aperture openings provide more consistent paste printing and transfer efficiency when compared to round openings. Corners may be rounded to prevent clogging.

• For 0.50 mm pitch WLCSP devices, 1:1 aperture to pad ratio is recommended for SnAgCu alloys.
• For 0.40 mm pitch WLCSP devices, use aperture aspect ratio of >= 0.66, with 0.25 mm x 0.25 mm square openings (25 micron corner

radius) for improved solder paste deposition repeatability.

Aperture aspect ratio is defined as the aperture opening area divided by the aperture side wall surface area.

A 0.100 mm (4-mil) thick stainless steel stencil is recommended. When these stencil design requirements conflict with other required SMT components in a mixed technology PCB assembly, a step-down stencil process may be utilized in compliance with IPC-7525 [4] design standards.
