The main function of the test is to evaluate the solder mask. Basically you are testing three samples: #1 - No solder mask, #2 - solder mask without solder, and #3 solder mask with solder. The solder pot is used to apply solder to the patterns on O

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

Replying to mine own thread for clarification. We are having some issues with solder mask shifts on memory boards using fine pitch BGAs. At times the etch to etch distance does not leave room for a solder mask annular ring to be shifted or it will c

I expect that suppliers can just about always hold solder mask registration within a true position of 3 thou. That's the old SMT padstack think ... make the solder mask openings extend 3 thou larger than the copper. That way, even if the copper and t
