Overview
The MTI EQ-SPC 2 Screen Printer can be used for quickly producing patterns using various paste types.�� Using the same process as t-shirt screen printing, mask like designs can be produced using similar steps to photolithography:�� degrease the screen, coat the screen with light sensitive emulsion, and burn (expose) the screen and emulsion to UV light with the mask aligner.�� The screen can then be used as a mask for pattern transfer with a paste and the screen printer setup.�� The Cleanroom has developed a process using silver paste for solar cell metal contacts and screen-printed electrodes using the screen printer.��
