Katrin Oehrle explains fineline stencil chemistry
The primary goals of crystalline photovoltaics are to lower cell costs while increasing their efficiency.
Screen printing makes a considerable contribution here, as it enables ever-narrower conductive fingers to be achieved at high process speeds on the front side of the solar cell.
This and also the miniaturisation of functional prints, for example in electronics, place very high demands on the screen printing stencil.
So that the resolution of such fine lines not only occurs in the stencil, but is also able to subsequently function in print, all the stencil production parameters must be perfectly coordinated with each other
