Method and apparatus for forming termination stripes

摘要

A stripe terminator (18) includes a carrier plate (20) for carrying a matrix of chips (12), a carrier plate shuttle (22) for longitudinally transporting the carrier plate (20) along guide rails (24), a paste platen (26), a doctor blade for spreading a paste layer (30) on platen (26) and a paste transfer assembly (32) for transferring paste from the platen (26) to the chips (12). The carrier plate (20) is reciprocated as the paste is applied to the chips (12) to form more uniform termination stripes (14) with wraparound segments (16). A novel ribbed paste tray (72) and contoured doctor blade (74) are also disclosed for bottom side paste application.
