Hi Ben, Yes, this could be the reason but have you ever seen solderability issues for (new) boards with LF-HAL surface finish? I have seen this only if there are surface finish quality issues for bare boards (exposed copper etc.). In this case we di

Bake your solder mask and then solder coat. If you are going to put an immersion finish like Osp, gold, tin or silver you would have to do a Micro etch to clean the copper prior to placing the surface finish. Regards, Board House

What about when debugging the board I recently saw a case where we damaged a board between - 5-10 cycles of the fixture It's a catch 22 - where you need high force probes to breal the OSP - but the copper is hard surface, not like the solder HASL a

I have checked pot temperature in different parts of solder pot and it looks like it is correct (250C). I have also lowered solder pot temperature and removed copper from the surface of the solder pot (operation repeated couple times). There is still

| We are using .040" diameter fiducials (global and local) on our boards. They are solder covered and HASL. I get batches of boards where the p&p vision system has trouble reading the fiducial. The fiducial looks dark on the screen. The board ven

It is only after the reflow heating process that the peaks may show up, as the solder build up in some vias(due to HASL'ing) might drip down during reflow. I don't think I've ever heard of it being desirable to have a bare copper surface that will ox

Anirudh: When board fabs talk "surface finishing" they're talking about the solderability protection that you'd like on the solderable copper component mounting pads that you laid-out for each component: * Bare copper pads corrode very quickly * Corr

Currently I am in the buisness of soldering bare die to the top surface of a copper heat sink. Is any one else have some exprience in this process that can help. We heat a copper slug through a contolled atmosphere, place a preform then a bare die.

You'd don't solder to gold finishes. The gold finish goes in solution in the solder and the solder attaches to the underlying surface, commonly nickel or copper.
