Nano Coating Service
What Nano Coating Service?
It is highly conductible with anti-adhesion ability, dirt can be removed easily (self-cleaning). And have longer life time, with the ability to increase the utilization rates of machine. It reduce yield loss and reduce cleaning material (usage) and cleaning time to enhances durability of materials.
What are the Advantages?
It minimizing the remaining solder paste for preventing the solder paste from the spreading on the bottom side of stencil and reduce the frequency of stencil cleaning
How many types are they?
Aculon (Self maintenance) [5 nm]
Glass (Transparent) [50 nm]
PVD Gold Coating [600~800 nm]
Tint Coating (Color) [2 micron ~ 4 micron]
#1 micrometers = 1000 nano-meters

BMS Coating (Clear Nano)
-
Below or 40k prints (Subject to Solvent PH)
-
BM-S coating enable to minimize the solder remaining on the stencil wall surface and maximize solder-release.
-
BM-S coating repels the flux.
-
Minimizing the remaining solder paste.
-
Preventing the solder paste from spreading on the bottom side of the stencil.
-
Promoting the cleaning performance.
-
The thickness of the BM coating: 50 nm
-
The material of the coating: Resin containing Fluric polymer
PVD Nano Coating
-
Below or 80k prints (Subject to Solvent PH, SQ pressure)
-
Uniform and con-formal coating will not alter critical dimension tolerances of apertures and parts
-
Better thickness
-
Vastly quicker production time when compared to traditional thicker coating
-
Maintains the elasticity/flexibility of the piece
-
Smoother work piece surface finish and better solder paste release
-
Reduces firction (increased lubricity) to increased quality and life span of stencil
-
Large variety of substrates
Nano Coating VS Micron Coating
How Nano Coating Helps In Probe Card
With out Coating
With Coating
-
With Coating, the attractive force can be massively reduced.
-
Attractive force Ratio up to WO/W = 0.53/0.02 = 26 (times)
Homogenous Nano Coating Flim
It can be seen that the uncoated gold shows a inhomogenous chemical surface because of air contamination and adsorbents. The coated gold is chemical homogeneous because of the functional Nano-layer. (By Pulse Force Microscopy)

The homogeneous surface at t=10 minutes (left image) is increased drastically after 6 hours of storage in air (right image).
The Yellow points (3) in the right image are of the diamond like structure nano layer surface. (By Pulse Force Microscopy)
-
Due to conducting polymer swim on the sea of gold electron cloud.
Contamination Phenomenon
Fresh cleaned gold surface.
After 6 hours exposure in air.

Nano-Coating Thickness Measurement by AFM
Measuring the thickness of the nano-polymer coating with high resolution Atomic Force Microscopy on probe
Measured thickness of the nano coating layer is 5~10 nm.
Mechanical and Chemical Touch Down Test
Au thickness 100% Serious damage & corrosion
Reduce Au thickness 80% Slightly damage & corrosion
It show that even reduce Au thickness with nano coating still can improve the touch down performance.
FDR Examination After High Current 2A/1.5s Life Time Test
Nano vs. Au
Testing Remaining : 30 Days
Conclusion
-
First Pass Yield will not be affected after coating
-
Average TD / Socket is 5.8 times better than Au Pin.
-
Socket PM No. is 4 time less than Au Pin.
-
Total Test Volume is 1.36 times better than Au Pin.
-
Increase the utilization rates of machine.
