Abstract

Provided are a screen printer and a screen printing method capable of reducing poor printing by realizing smooth rolling of a paste. When a squeegee 32 is slid on a mask 5 so as to transfer a paste Ps to a substrate 2, leakage prevention members 33 are slid on the mask 5 along with the squeegee 32 so as to prevent the paste Ps on the mask 5 from leaking out of both sides of the squeegee 32. The height H 0 of the paste Ps on the mask 5 is greater than the height Hm of the leakage prevention members 33 from the upper surface of the mask 5, and the paste Ps located at a position greater than the height Hm of the leakage prevention members 33 is rolled.

Claims (10)

1 . A screen printer comprising:

a mask that comes into contact with an upper surface of a substrate;

a squeegee that is slid on the mask which comes into contact with the upper surface of the substrate and rolls a paste supplied onto the mask on the mask so as to transfer the paste to the substrate; and

a leakage prevention member that is provided in a squeegee holder holding the squeegee and is slid on the mask along with the squeegee so as to prevent the paste of which rolling is in progress on the mask from leaking out of both sides of the squeegee from a center of the squeegee in a width direction,

wherein the paste is rolled in a state in which a height of the paste on the mask is greater than a height of the leakage prevention member from the upper surface of the mask, and the paste located at a position greater than the height of the leakage prevention member does not exceed the leakage prevention member and thus does not flow out of both sides of the squeegee from the center of the squeegee in the width direction.

2 . A screen printing method comprising:

causing a mask to come into contact with an upper surface of a substrate;

causing a squeegee to be slid on the mask which comes into contact with the upper surface of the substrate and to roll a paste supplied onto the mask on the mask so as to transfer the paste to the substrate; and

causing a leakage prevention member provided in a squeegee holder holding the squeegee to be slid on the mask along with the squeegee so as to prevent the paste of which rolling is in progress on the mask from leaking out of both sides of the squeegee from a center of the squeegee in a width direction;

wherein the paste is rolled in a state in which a height of the paste on the mask is greater than a height of the leakage prevention member from the upper surface of the mask, and the paste located at a position greater than the height of the leakage prevention member does not exceed the leakage prevention member and thus does not flow out of both sides of the squeegee from the center of the squeegee in the width direction.
