@Stephen The cost here is key, look what I pay for a foil, for established clients that's all I need charge for tooling a new prototype. I can build a pretty decent batch of prototype or low volume boards for less than some places charge for stencil

You want approximately 5 particles minimum across the smallest aperture. So in the case of a 0.8mm device, we use .017" pads with a round 0.020" aperture on a 6 thou thick stencil foils. Here, 0.020" diameter equals 0.50mm. This gives us 0.50/5=10

"The fluid sometimes heats up to 105 deg F." Not sure what you mean here...is it set at 105 but rarely gets there, or is your temperature dependant upon another process to heat it up? Also, what temp is your rinse water? We used to use a U/S clean

Are there better options? Dude, EVERYTHING else is a better option. Gluing aluminum foil down to the bare copper would be a better option. ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold), Immersion Silver, Immersion Tin, and OSP all provide flatter surfac

I'm not sure why anyone would pay extra for FG (fine grain) stencils. I've run studies comparing traditional YAG laser, fiber laser, and E-form stencils with regular stainless, FG, and nickel foils. YAG is the worse and should only be used for pret
