John,

You're right. I'm the perfect example...how many times have I posted
to the TechNet about solder mask problems? How many times have
those posts had to do with dry film solder masks? I rest my case.

I wish there was someway I could get our customers who use dry film
mask switch to LPI, but I can't. When I ask why they won't consider
switching, the standard answer usually is; "Because that's what we've
always used..."

It's hard to argue with that...

Kind regards,

For more years than I care to remember I have always been under the
impression that dry film mask caused more problems with SMT assembly than
it
solved because of issues of coplanarity or lack thereof.  I know that it
can
provide better tenting abilities but is the rest of my thinking somewhat
outdated?

        Dry film is capable of providing greater thickness than LPI. It
keeps solder paste from shorting across to other pads. One of probably few
advantages.

Not to hijack Steve's thread but what would be the reasoning for applying
the dryfilm mask over LPI?  What would be the benefits here?  Within our
customer base we never get calls for dryfilm mask so I am not clear on it's
preferred application.  Steve's customers sure seem to like it!  It does
seem somewhat problematic for him though :o) .

Steve,

While it is not an "easy" process, I know a number of companies that have
done the dry over liquid process for several years. Your fab shop needs to
verify the LPI is compatible with the dry film and there are a few tricks
to
make it easier. If you contact one of the solder mask services (Solder Mask
Inc, Mask Tek etc) they can do the job for your vendor or perhaps give them
some tips to help them do it themselves.

Regards,
Bob
