semiconductor industry presents engineers with new challenges: structures are becoming smaller, while the demands for precision and efficiency are increasing. This is where semiconductor stencils come into play – high-precision tools for solder paste printing in microelectronics. However, not all stencils offer the same quality and performance. To meet the increasing demands, innovative solutions are required – solutions that combine precision, efficiency and flexibility.</p><p> </p><p> </p></div></div></div><div id="c5530" class="frame frame-default frame-type-textmedia frame-layout-0"><div class="ce-textpic ce-center ce-above"><div class="ce-bodytext"><p><strong>What are semiconductor stencils?</strong></p><p><br> Semicon stencils are specially developed printing stencils used in semiconductor manufacturing for high-precision paste deposits on wafers, ceramics, glass substrates or other packaging substrates. They are usually made of special stainless steel or nickel alloys and are extremely thin (from 15 µm) in order to reproduce even the finest structures. The openings are made by laser to ensure dimensional and positional accuracy.<br> Compared to classic SMT stencils used for printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductor stencils offer significantly higher precision and enable printing for complex applications such as wafer bumping, flip chip assembly or MEMS production.</p></div></div></div><div id="c5531" class="frame frame-default frame-type-textmedia frame-layout-0 frame-space-before-medium"><div class="ce-textpic ce-center ce-above"><div class="ce-bodytext"><p><strong>Challenges and market requirements</strong></p><p><br> The semiconductor industry is developing rapidly: chips are becoming more powerful, sensors smaller and production cycles shorter. This presents enormous challenges for electronics manufacturers:</p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Miniaturization:</strong> Structures below 100 μm require highly precise stencils.</li><li><strong>Maximum process stability:</strong> Fluctuations in quality can have a significant impact on the yield in the production of complex semiconductor components and cause expensive defects.</li><li><strong>Long qualification phases:</strong> The introduction of a new semicon stencil requires a comprehensive qualification phase, as semiconductor production places the highest demands on precision, reproducibility and process reliability. This process can take months as each new stencil has to be integrated into the existing production environment.</li><li><strong>Flexibility in manufacturing: </strong>Adaptation to different technologies</li><li><strong>The requirements for semiconductor stencils</strong> vary depending on the manufacturing process. Technologies such as wafer-level packaging (WLP) and system-in-package (SiP) in particular pose different challenges.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Thanks to innovative 3D step stencils, the Christian Koenen Group is able to offer customized solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective production requirements – whether for high-precision wafer processes or complex multi-component parts.</p><p> </p><p> </p></div></div></div><div id="c5532" class="frame frame-default frame-type-textmedia frame-layout-0"><div class="ce-textpic ce-center ce-above"><div class="ce-bodytext"><p><strong>3D technology combining efficiency, precision and innovative strength</strong></p><p><br> The Christian Koenen Group is setting new standards with its 3D step stencil technology for the semiconductor industry. <br> 3D stencils offer key benefits:</p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Optimized cycle times:</strong> The more efficient printing process increases production speed.</li><li><strong>Maximum precision:</strong> Perfect results even with structures of below 100 µm.</li><li><strong>Flexibility:</strong> Tailored solutions for sophisticated processes such as wafer bumping or the integration of new manufacturing techniques.</li><li><strong>Reliability:</strong> The stencils enable reproducible results – essential for high-volume production.</li></ul><p> </p><p>These technological advantages not only ensure better results, but also significant cost savings by reducing scrap and rework.</p><p><br> The Christian Koenen Group is not just a supplier, but an established development partner for the semiconductor industry.
