It doesn't make sense that contamination would form on your gold pads after prebake of 150C for 3 hrs. The contamination must have been there prior to the bake. Your description makes us think of solder mask bleed. Tell us about: * Solder mask * S

You can not solder to 30 micro inches of gold over nickel and certainly not 80 microns. You can not with tin lead solder or SAC305 anyway. The upper limit is between 6 and 10 micro inches of gold. This is what ENIG plates to. If you solder to gre

Does anyone have any experience with plasma cleaning? I currently have an IMS Substrate (10-15 microinch gold flash over electroless Ni) attched to Ryton PPS / R40 walls (40% glass filled/compression molded). The wall is being attached to the IMS u
