Abstract

A machine for filling a plurality of via holes in a workpiece comprises a hollow member having an open face; a masking member covering the face and having a plurality of holes which are arranged across the face such that they match the via holes in the workpiece; a diaphragm inside of the hollow member having a front surface that forms a first cavity with the masking member for receiving a high viscosity conductive ink and having a back surface that forms a second cavity with the hollow member; a means for holding the workpiece against the masking member such that their respective holes are aligned; and an orifice in the hollow member for introducing a fluid under pressure into the second cavity and against the back surface of the diaphragm to thereby squeeze a portion of the high viscosity ink through the holes of the masking member and into the holes of the workpiece.
