GLII released "2012 China LED upstream industry research report"

According to the statistics of the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII), the production and sales volume of LED chips in China reached 6 billion in 2011, a year-on-year increase of 50%, which is less than the 6.8 billion originally expected by the High-Tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII). In 2011, China's newly introduced MOCVD has started to be put into production. Due to fierce market competition and rapid price decline, although the demand for LED chips has increased significantly, the sales scale is still not as expected. In 2011, the entire industry experienced structural overcapacity.

With the acceleration of Taiwan's upstream transfer capacity to mainland China and the active expansion of local Chinese companies, China's LED chip market will usher in more intense competition and the market will become more unpredictable.

For a long time, the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII) closely tracks the industry dynamics of LED upstream. Based on the "2011 China LED upstream industry research report" released by the High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII), combined with the actual research on the upstream epitaxial chip companies in the country, in January 2012, the high-tech LED industry research institute (GLII) ) The 2012 China LED upstream industry research report was compiled.

This report provides a detailed analysis and forecast of the market conditions of China's upstream sapphire substrate, MO source, MOCVD, epitaxial wafer, chip, enterprise, industrial policy, investment risk, investment prospects, etc., for LED peers and caring LED upstream industry. People for reference.

PCB SMT Stencil ,the unique goal  is to move solder paste to the bare Printed Circuit Board.


PCB Stencil , SMT Stencil, SMD Stencil , Laser Stencil , What is it?

Apart from all types of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) such as Prototype PCB , Aluminum PCB , HDI PCB , Flexible PCB , Rigid Flex PCB , Thick Copper PCB, High TG PCB , JHYPCB also manufactures solder paste stencils to meet Surface Mount Technology (SMT) requirements.

PCB Stencils, also called SMT stencils, SMD stencil, play a key role in transferring accurate amount of solder paste to correct positions on bare circuit boards ready for assembly. In other words, stencils can fast and efficiently ensure the most accurate solder paste amount and optimal electrical connection. With solder stencils, it is possible to use metal squeegee blades to apply solder paste easily over the openings on PCBs and make stencil to be well aligned with the surface of the advanced circuit board.

All of our SMT Stencils stencils are 100% laser-cut type 304 full-hard stainless steel, ensuring the finest quality finish on the market today. We use a .001" laser beam with 98% overlap creating an extremely smooth hole that provides the best paste release. Most stencil fabricators use a .003" laser leaving mouse bites on the aperture edge. You can choose a PCB Prototype stencil, a frameless foil stencil, or a rigid permanently mounted stencil. Both the frameless and framed stencils come in various sizes to accommodate your printer and stencil requirements.

Electroformed SMT stencils are nickel-based, electroform foils permanently mounted in a stencil frame using a mesh border to tightly stretch the stencil foil taut in the frame. Electroformed stencils offer the best paste release characteristics available and are frequently used for fine pitch (20 mil to 12 mil pitch) SMT applications on printed circuit boards. They are also used for µBGA's, Flip Chip, and Wafer Bumping (12 mil to 6 mil pitch).

Electroformed SMT Stencil Features:


  • The smooth trapezoidal sidewalls of an electroformed stencil allow for better paste release
  • Nickel has a lower coefficient of friction compared to stainless steel
  • Electroform foils are harder than full hard stainless steel of comparable thickness, providing for longer stencil life

What's the difference between a framed stencil and a frameless stencil?


A framed PCB stencil will have a 0.5" to 1.5" thick metal frame around it, similar to a picture frame. Framed stencils are often used by contract manufacturers, assembly and board houses, and large scale production facilities and are commonly placed in a manual or automated stencil printing machine. Frameless stencils are a thin sheet of material cut with a small border around your design. For example pictures on these products, please visit our Gallery.


What's the difference between Polyimide and Stainless Steel?


All stencils are made with high quality Polyimide and Stainless Steel. We use only the industry leading Stainless Steel, designed specifically for stencils. These materials are ideal for prototype or Multilayer PCB .

Stainless Steel: 0.0007" Laser spot size, 0.001" minimum aperature size.
Polyimide Film: 0.003" Laser spot size, 0.005" minimum aperature size.

Polyimide has a lower precision rate due to the way it is processed and its ability to withstand heat during the cutting process. Minor variances will occur when the material reacts to the laser. Paste release is great, but this material should be limited to a small number of uses and with components 0402 or bigger.

The minimum aperature size for Polyimide is 0.005" vs 0.001" for Stainless Steel. Polyimide also has a natural curl in the material caused by the way the film is manufacturered, this is outside of our control. Stainless Steel provides the ultimate in precision and quality, with a 0.0007" spot size, and exceptional paste release with a truly flat surface. If you want the absolute best reflow experience, there is no comparison, Stainless Steel is the superior material.


Analysis and Treatment of Common Problems in PCB SMT stencil


  • Insufficient solder paste
Insufficient solder paste may cause poor bonds and contact between components and the board. The common causes of insufficient solder paste are poor gasketing, clogged stencil apertures, insufficient solder paste bead size, paste/stencil being used beyond recommended life span, stencil not wiped clean, or low squeegee pressure.

  • Smudging/bridging
The main causes of smudging/bridging are excessive squeegee pressure, inadequate stencil wiping, poor contact between the board and stencil, high temperature or humidity, or low solder paste viscosity.

  • Misalignment print
A typical misalignment print is usually caused by the vision system not spotting fiducials, PWB or stencil stretch, poor contact between the board and the stencil, or weak board support.

  • Bow and twist
A PCB Board not fixed properly during solder paste printing gives poor results and increases soldering related issues. Normally, solder paste printing equipment can handle warpage of 1.0 to 3.0 mm but beyond this limit needs some special jigs or fixtures to hold the PCB. It may be difficult to tackle thick and small boards compared to thin and bigger size boards.


How to Determine Stencil Size?


Stencil size is composed by two parts: internal size and overall size. Internal size is the size compatible with that of PCB ready to be assembled while overall size refers to the size compatible with printer parameter limit. As long as both sizes are accurately designed, stencil will be able to make full use of its functions.

How to Determine Stencil Size

Internal size of stencil can be figured out conforming to the following rule:
  • Width of Framed Stencil = width of PCB + 100mm while its Length = length of PCB + 100mm
  • Width of Frameless stencil = width of PCB + 200mm while its Length = length of PCB + 200mm

For example, if one circuit board size is 50*50mm, then the size of its framed stencil should be around 150*150mm and the size of its frameless stencil should be around 250*250 mm.

It's easy to remember and operate so it worked for manual solder paste printing in SMT assembly prior to the advent of automatic printer. It can be said that different PCB sizes lead to generations of different internal sizes of stencil.

When it comes to automatic solder paste printer, however, it's relatively solid. Overall size of stencil has to be determined by parameter limit of the equipment, that is, printer, because stencil has to work within the range of printer with a frame. Different printers feature different parameter regulations. As far as PCBCart is concerned, the stencil size compatible with our printer can be either 650mm*650mm or 736mm*736mm.

PCB designers have to focus on internal size of stencil, they don't need to care about its overall size since it is generally determined by the parameters of printer in your contract assembler workshop.
