Screen printing apparatus

摘要

A screen printing apparatus includes a screen frame disposed above a ceramic green-sheet, and a screen on which an electrode pattern is formed is held by the screen frame. A cover is detachably attached to the screen frame by making a recess formed on upper surface of the screen frame engage with a projection formed on a lower end surface of the cover. An interior of the cover becomes an airtight state substantially except for a stitch portion of the screen. Therefore, when a vapor pressure of a volatile solvent of an electrode paste becomes to be saturated in the interior of the cover after volatilization of the volatile solvent to some extent, the volatile solvent of the electrode paste is prevented from further volatilizing.
