Repeating a single Gerber file over two or more areas of the same stencil plate. PCB's are arranged on "break away" panels often referred to as 2 Up, 4 Up, etc. . . . Information on the center-to-center dimensions is essential to prevent misregistration of panel to stencil.
In the graphic arts, a technique to produce multiple images with extremely close tolerances onto a film or plates. Also refers to a pantograph that has symbols or logotypes repeated over and over.
A procedure, which provides a series of image frames in a predetermined pattern directly onto a plate.
A process in which a single image is exposed onto a screen several times to give multiple identical images.
a system that exposes a wafer by exposing an area of the wafer and then stepping to the next adjacent area of the wafer to perform the next exposure. The system steps and exposes repeatedly until the whole wafer is covered with patterns. Step and Repeat system utilize reticle to create patterns. Virtually all sub-micron semiconductor exposure is done by some type of stepping exposure system. See also step and scan.
A process of generating multiple exposures by taking an image and stepping it according to a predetermined layout.
The same image is printed continuously in a pattern on the same sheet of paper.
A technique of repeating a single image to obtain multiple exposures of the same design on a single sheet of film.
Technique of affixing multiple images on a film or plate to extremely close tolerances.
The act of or equipment for the positioning and exposing of multiple complete images on film in preparation for plate making.
Same image precisely repeated one or more times horizontally and/or vertically to predetermined distance. These distances from one image to another are referred to as "centers" when measured from a point on one image to the same point on an adjacent image.
