... board into a solution, and the result is a final surface that can be stored and soldered. In fact, such a thing does exist: | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | a lead-free alternative to HAL (Hot Air Levelling) with these wonderful features, at least from the point of view of the PCB manufacturer. OSP is | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | an organic solution based on an imidazole substitute which, by means of dipping or rinsing can be selectively applied to the copper surfaces, ready for | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | soldering. A transparent layer, max. 0.2 to 0.6 my thick, covers the copper like a barely visible clear varnish. COMPLETELY LEVEL THANKS TO DIRECT CONTACT | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | WITH THE COPPER Purely as a sealing agent, OSP offers good preconditions to adhere components that require an absolutely level surface, thanks to the fact | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | that the soldering paste is applied directly to the copper. The common problem of twisted fine-pitch components due to raised “tin bubbles” on the HAL | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | surface is, therefore, a thing of the past. The impress technique can be more precise with OSP, if one considers ...

... coverage, webbing, and so forth. For instance, most | FAB SHOPS | want the largest possible clearances in a solder layer so that mask | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | doesn't end up on pads. On the flip side, copper is not supposed to be exposed. The two requirements - no mask on pads and | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | unwanted exposed copper - must be balanced. It is not easy to do. How can the designer help? Devise a standardized clearance, or set the | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | clearances at 1:1, and let the shop do the soldermask enhancement. Here's another issue: | THE SOLDERMASK | webbing between pads on fine-pitch surface mount | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | devices. Most masks can go to 0.003" without the resist flaking off. However, if the pads are so tightly grouped that the dams between them | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | are less than 0.003", it's better to construct a mask opening over the entire group. That will make the fabricator's life much simpler. Bear in | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | mind that a | FABRICATOR'S | spacing tolerances likely differ from yours. For example, take the drill data. When laying out a board, you usually | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | work ...

... to worry about translators and parsers to read the aperture table information. As a result, aperture data might be misinterpreted. Worse, someone might have | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | typed in the information manually - and erroneously. By contrast, in 274X, all the aperture information is contained within the Gerber file, which can be | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | read by most CAM tools automatically. For netlists, IPC-D-356 is the preferred format for fabrication. It's widely used by many of the bare-board test-fixturing machines | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | and is one of the only true ways to identify power- to-ground shorts. With the information in this format coming directly from the engineering CAD | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | system, there's no danger of the fabricator "reverse engineering" the netlist from the Gerber files. Next up are the internal plane layers. For some reason, | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | CAD engineers like them to be "positive," but those types of layers lead to huge file sizes. Negative plane layers are usually preferred by fabricators | MULTILAYER BOARDS SHOP | because they're easier to work with and have smaller file ...
