I wonder if anyone has experience with electrodeposited photoresist, namely PEPR 2400. I have had some problems working with it. If I do not use thickness controller PEPR 2400 TC (active component 2-Octanone), film tends to be thick. I fI use it, fil

I have been trying to tell people at work that minor scratches on solder resist on BGA will not effect functionality of BGA, instead they want to attempt repair of these scratches. Any suggestions.

Hi Roderick, Guess it depends on how you define "minor". If it is just a visual blemish in the mask, there will be no affect o the BGA. If it is through the resist there may be a chance of solder shorting, which will affect it, I doubt it but poss

I am interested in locating a water soluble resist mask that does not leave a residue after wash and is easy to work with during the screen printing process. I have tried the Alpha Metals 110 and 220 solder mask and have found that it does not leave

Does anyone have design knowledge of why some manufacturers remove solder resist from the area around pads on fine pitch devices? What purpose does it serve? I only know that it would be better for AOI as you would not have light being reflected fro

Hi Simon, The main reason that it would probably be removed would be do to lack of clearance for a soldermask dam from pad to pad. typically if the clearance from pad to pad is under .008 the solder mask dam would be removed. Min recomended dam siz

To prevent BGA (Ball Grid Array) issues related to SMT (Surface Mount Technology) solder resist when fabricating a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), you can follow these guidelines: Design considerations: Ensure proper spacing between BGA pads
