This could also be an issue of inventory/material availability. The
fabricator may not have 1 oz copper in stock.
Another issue is the use of electrolytic nickel/gold. There are galvanic
etching problems with the combination of Cu/Ni/Au as well as overhang/leaf
of the gold plating. The more you have to etch through the more this can
become a problem. 0.5 oz copper in place of 1 oz makes sense in this
application.

Subject: [TN] 1oz Copper vs. .5 oz Copper
Hi All-
One of our PCB designers came to us with a recommendation from our Bare
Board fab house-
We typically use 1 oz copper and the fab house is asking us to use .5 oz
copper and build it up to 1 oz.
Since I am not a designer, so I would like some input from TechNet on this
type of practice.
Facts:
99% of our boards are used in Telecommunications products
Most of our boards have QFP's in the 12 mil range
Typically most of our boards have Gold pads/finish
Thanks,
cal
