Deposition mask techniques are used in a wide range of vacuum-chamber evaporation and sputtering processes to fabricate both simple and complex micro-engineered electronic components and products. They are increasingly being used to deposit inks onto substrates during the manufacture of flat panel displays.

• Burr and stress-free
• Ultra-sharp edge profiles
• Rapid turnaround, low cost photo tooling
• Precision finishing available for durability/improved cleaning
• Single and multi-level sets available

Tecan's manufacturing technologies provide accuracy and durability advantages over conventional mask manufacturing techniques.

Burr-free aperture edges and controllable draft angles enable improved deposition performance.

Finished masks, produced in stainless steel and nickel with optional gold-plating, typically withstand post-deposition cleaning for up to 10 times longer than conventional masks.

Single masks, multi-mask sets and frame systems are all available dependent on the application. Multi-level masks can be produced with 'stepped' recesses, limiting the need for spacer sheets in multiple-sheet sets.
