It was confirmed that when phosphor slurry is formed in the cavity of an elastic mold, the pressure distribution of the phosphor slurry varies as a function of the major squeegee parameters (squeegee angle, squeegee velocity, and the viscosity of the phosphor slurry). The higher the slurry viscosity, the faster the squeegee velocity, and the smaller the squeegee angle, the higher the filling completeness of the phosphor slurry. The optimum conditions for complete filling of the phosphor slurry were found when the squeegee angle was between 30 to 45 degrees, squeegee velocity at 40 to 70mm/sec, and the viscosity of the phosphor slurry composite was at 6,556 cps (i.e. phosphor content around 50 wt. %).

The Mass production of ceramic heater has encountered with the estimation for the proper parameters of the printing conditions. This paper presents a method to estimate the squeegee pressure. It uses resistance distribution from the trial run with approximate squeegee pressure which comes from statistical process control (SPC). Then, the resistance distribution and its total resistance are input to the backpropagation neural networks that can recognize resistance's distribution patterns. The value of output network derived from the input value can identify to the appropriate squeegee pressure. The experimental results are demonstrated In ensure the efficiency and the reliability of this method with the accuracy 96.75 percent. Indeed, embedded on this method will aid us to reduce the loss from the normal mass production.

In the present study, the stencil printing process using solder paste are numerically analyzed. The key design parameters in the stencil printing process are the printing conditions, stencil design, and solder paste properties. Among these parameters, the effects of printing conditions including the squeegee angle and squeegee pressure are investigated through finite element (FE) analysis. However, the FE analysis for the stencil printing process requires tremendous computational loads and time because this process carries micro-filling through thousands of micro-apertures in stencil. To overcome this difficulty in simulation, the present study proposes a two-step approach to sequentially perform the global domain analysis and the local domain analysis. That is, the pressure development under the squeegee are firstly calculated in the full analysis domain through the global analysis. The filling stage of the solder paste into a micro-aperture is then analyzed in the local analysis domain based on the results of the preceding global analysis.

In this study, image analysis and surface roughness measurements using an optical microscope are presented as a method to quantitatively evaluate the results of screen printing. Using this method, the squeegee speed, which is the printing process condition, and the printability of the electrode according to the screen mesh were evaluated. Increasing the squeegee speed in the printing process acts as a process element that increases the line width precision of the printed electrode and lowers the surface roughness of the printed surface. Furthermore, the edge roughness, which indicates the clarity of printing, was not significantly affected by the speed of the squeegee during printing. The print thickness increases in proportion to the squeegee speed, but is largely dependent on the screen thickness.

Main parameters of the screen printing were determined and the printing parameters were optimized for 0402, 0603, and 1005 chips in this study. The solder pastes used in this study were Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-0.7Cu. The process parameters were stencil thickness, squeegee angle, printing speed, stencil separating speed and gap between stencil and PCB. The printing pressure was fixed at 2 $kgf/cm^2$. From ANOVA results, the stencil thickness and the squeegee angle were determined to be main parameters for the printing efficiency. The printing efficiency was optimized with varying two main parameters, the stencil thickness and the squeegee angle. The printing efficiency increased as the squeegee angle was lowered under 45o for all chips. For the 0402 and the 0603 chips, the printing efficiency increased as the stencil thickness decreased. On the other hand, for the 1005 chip, the printing efficiency increased as the stencil thickness increased.

In this study, the optimal process condition was induced about the pillar arrangement process of applying the screen printing method in the manufacture process of vacuum glazing panel. The high precision screen printing is technology which pushes out the paste and spreads it by using the squeegee on the stainless steel plate in which the pattern is formed. The screen printing method is much used in the flat panel display field including the LCD, PDP, FED, organic EL, and etc for forming the high precision micro-pattern. Also a number of studies of screen printing method have been conducted as the method for the cost down through the improvement of productivity. The screen printing method has many parameters. So we used Taguchi method in order to decrease test frequencies and optimize this parameters efficiently. In this study, experiments of pillar arrangement were performed by using Taguchi experimental design. We analyzed experimental results and obtained optimal conditions which are 4 m/s of squeegee speed, $40^{\circ}$ of squeegee angle and distance between metal mask and glass.

Four screen mesh counts of 100, 150, 200, and 305 threads per inch are chosen and a designed test figure is exposed on them for printing experiment to measure the ink deposit thickness. Among a number of variables, the ink viscosity, the screen gap and the squeegee pressure and speed are estimated with their effected thickness. These variables affect as much as around 50% compared with the theoretical ink volume listed by the mesh manufacturer and each variable has different influence on the thickness. The data and graphs have been analyzed for the thick film production.

The screen printed technique is one of the electrode forming technologies for crystalline silicon solar cell. It has the advantage that can raise the production efficiency due to simple process. The electrode technology is the core process because the electrode feature is given a substantial factor (for solar cell efficiency). In this paper, we tried to change conditions such as squeegee angle $55{\sim}75^{\circ}$, snap off 0.5~1.75 mm, printing pressure 0.6~0.3 MPa and 1.6~2.0 mm finger spacing. As a result, the screen printing process showed an improved performance with an increased height higher finger height. Optimization of fabrication process has achieved 17.48% efficiency at screen mesh of 1.6 mm finger spacing.
