Publication number: 20180019212Abstract: An automated system for maintaining paint thickness uniformity over the surface of a cap encapsulating at least one integrated circuit (IC) module on a panel of IC modules is provided. The system can be computer implemented and applies a layer of conductive paint that electrically couples with wirebonds on the panel to form at least part of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) shield that attenuates EMI or RFI during operation of the IC module. The system optimizes the spray nozzle diameter, fluid pressure, coaxial air pressure, spray heights, speeds, and spray pattern achieves paint thickness control.
