Tighter tolerances for nickel
evaporation masks
Tecan has developed a range of high-performance nickel evaporation masks, for use in a range of selective vacuum chamber deposition processes, such as gold and silver plating on silicon.

Can-on-board solder migration problems solved
Tecan Components has solved a range of problems associated with automated soldering of RFI screening cans/fences onto PCBs with the introduction of the 'Plimsoll line and lattice bridging stencils'.
Labyrinth RFI screening can brings RFI benefits
A labyrinth RFI screening can is an effective one-part board-level alternative for PCB designs which would otherwise require solid metal enclosures or multiple screening cans.
Using electroforming techniques, the company is able to produce tightly costed sheet masks which out perform traditional photo-etched molybdenum which has limits on how small, or defined, apertures may be.
The method allows the production of far tighter tolerances, so that greater density designs with higher accuracy aperture edges are produced.
So robust is the Tecan mask, that it will typically withstand the post-deposition cleaning process for up to ten times longer than other masks - significantly reducing the need for replacements.
Single masks, and multimask sets are available to meet the individual needs of custom designs.
Evaporation mask techniques are used to fabricate a wide number of simple and complex micro-engineered electronic components and products, for single and multilayer applications in industrial, aerospace, automotive, medical and pharmaceutical markets.
For example, evaporation-depositing contacts onto quartz crystal oscillators and the fabrication of similar components, onto substrates such as silicon or glass.
The systems cost-effectively cater for development, prototyping, small, medium and large-scale production applications - affording consistently accurate results.
