Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printing technique for a thick film process, and more particularly to a metal printing template. [Prior Art] In the fabrication technology of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (Mcc), solar cells, other laminated or thin film electronic products, the formation method of the internal multilayer metal film/insulating film is mainly divided into thin films. Thin film technique and Thick film technique. Among them, the thin film process refers to general physical deposition and chemical deposition (CVD), which not only has a slow deposition rate but also requires at least one lithography imaging step in each patterning process of the metal film, and the cost is quite high, and is not applicable. Rapid mass production at low cost. The conventional thick film process is a technology with low manufacturing cost and low equipment requirements, mainly through a screen printing method, through which a conductive ink constituting a metal particle 'bonding agent and a dispersing agent is passed through The stencil is applied to a substrate and then sintered into a patterned metal film. However, the current thickness of the thick film screen printed metal film can only reach 50 μm, and it is not thinner and uneven. In addition, as the number of repeated screen printings increases, the mesh of the stencil will expand and contract to produce more and more dimensional errors, making the reprintability error of repeated screen printing more than 10%. National Patent Publication No. 369482 "Method for Producing Screen Printing Template and Screen Printing Cloth Containing a Coated Fabric", which is coated with a layer of emulsion using a plastic fine silk fabric, which is photosensitive developed by exposure It is then formed into a screen printing cloth. However, the thickness of the mesh fabric at the staggered cross-section of the filaments is about twice the diameter of the fine 5.129299 filaments, resulting in a difference in thickness. Therefore, the thickness of the conductive ink formed by the screen printing using the screen printing cloth may have an error variation, which affects the electrical performance of the electronic product. Therefore, the conventional printing stencil cannot satisfy the demand for thinning and uniform film thickness, and there is also a problem that reproducibility error is large.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a metal printing template which can prevent the micropores from being deformed or even broken by the blade thrust during printing. A further object of the present invention is to provide a metal printing template, which helps the ink to be detached from the template after the printing of the steel sheet, can reduce the adhesion of the ink to the residual of the template, and heat the wet ink to form a more complete and uniform patterning.臈 layer.

First I No As shown in Fig. 5A, the precision electroformed film 1 is placed on a 1299304 plate 210 which contacts the carrier 210. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5B, an emulsion 20 is applied to the outer surface 12, and the emulsion 20 is filled in the micropores 13, wherein the emulsion 20 is more above the outer surface 12. The lower the better, the smaller the thickness of the precision electroformed film, and less than one-half of the thickness. When the emulsion 20 is photosensitive, it can be patterned by exposure and development after coating, and when the emulsion 2 is non-photosensitive, it can be coated by a screen or a photoresist. At the same time, the precision electroformed film 10 has a proper pattern; as shown in FIG. 5C, after the patterning of the emulsion 20, a part of the micropores 13 can be penetrated (as shown in FIG. 5C). The micropores 13B) are passed through, and the remaining micropores η are still blocked by filling (as shown by the plugged micropores 13A shown in FIG. 5C), and are detached from the carrier 210. In the above steps, the enlarged openings 14 of the through micropores 13B are bare. Therefore, the precision electrical bonding film coated with the patterned emulsion 2 can be used as a plate printing template for a thick film process of MLCC, solar cells and other electronic products. As shown in FIG. 5D, the above-mentioned steel plate printing template (ie, the precision electroformed film 10 coated with the patterned emulsion 20) is pressed against a substrate to be printed 220', wherein the outer surface 12 of the precision electroformed film 10 is To the substrate to be printed 220, the emulsion 2 on the surface is attached to the printing surface of the substrate 22 to be printed, and the inner surface n is exposed. In this embodiment, the substrate to be printed 220 is an MLCC substrate or a solar cell substrate. Thereafter, a conductive ink 23 (or a non-conductive ink) such as a silver paste, a solder paste or another metal paste is printed through the steel plate printing stencil, which is filled in the through micropores 13B. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 5E, the steel plate printing template (i.e., the precision electroformed film 10 and the emulsion 2) is removed, leaving a conductive ink 23 on the to-be-printed 12299304 brush substrate 220. Finally, as shown in Fig. 5F, the conductive ink 23 is heated to sinter the inner metal particles to form a patterned metal film 231. Since the micropores 13 have an enlarged opening 14 at an opening end facing the outer surface 12 (ie, toward the substrate to be printed 220), the conductive ink 23 is released from the precision electroformed film 10 after the printing of the steel sheet. The amount of residual conductive ink 23 〇 adhered to the micropores 13 该 of the precision electric scale film 10 can be reduced, so that the patterned film layer 23 1 formed by the conductive ink 23 有着 has a more complete and consistent printing amount. The thickness is more uniform. Further, the peripheral interval of the conductive ink 23 is reduced (i.e., the edge to the edge of the enlarged opening 14 of the adjacent micropores 13), and the conductive ink is more easily wet-smelted to form a flat patterned metal film 23j upon heating. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made within the scope of the present invention are included in the technical scope of the present invention.
