Search the SMTnet Archives for threads like: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=6753 where J Medernach says, "Make sure your supplier uses some sort of process control of coating thickness. If they don't have a photospectrometer or other type of measurement device for film thickness analysis, DO NOT USE THEM." Alternately, just run a spare or scrap board through your process without components.

See if you can find someone with an XRF machine or talk to your Current Board house they probably have this equiptment if they run ENIG or Silver finishes. I would stop in with some boards your having issues with and have them measure the thickness.

x-ray fluorescence (XRF). This non-intrusive, nondestructive measurement method has been used in electronics manufacturing for years, primarily to measure the composition and thickness of surface platings and coatings.
