We are currently trying to gather information pertaining to applying LPI soldermask thicker than normal. The thick coating is necessary for the SIPAD ssd process however, because of the numerous brands of mask and application methods there is no sing

Depending on the volume of boards you are manufacturing, the most cost effective solution would be to epoxy plug the vias prior to LPI soldermask application. The technique is common practice and most suppliers can provide it will little or no cost a

I need some information regarding the acceptability/unacceptability of using tented vias with LPI soldermask. Long story on all involved, but basically I have a board that I have had manufactured with no problems which has BGA/uBGA parts, tented via

On 1.27mm (0.050 inches) Standard Ball Grid Array's. The ball size diameter starts at approximately 0.025 inches. If the ball size decreases to 0.012 inches (due to the solder flowing down a via) is the solder connection reliable? This is a known L

Solder mask thickness specifications by fabricators are: * Wet mask: 0.0002 ~ 0.0004� on trace * LPI mask: 0.0002 ~ 0.0008� on trace Liquids usually range between 10 to 13 um (0.00039 to 0.00051") when dried. Liquid resist processes I have seen are

Your specification for all PCB suppliers of 'solder mask over bare copper using LPI on external layers (green)' is broad and open to the use of material from many possible LPI suppliers by your board fabricator. In at least one case, it appears that
