gee, Paul -- wonder if you have a particular app of ours in mind. L0L!
On related note, we've observed that some of the higher temp "Pb-free"
laminates are more resistant to traditional hole prep (i.e. permanganate,
plasma). Take the time to look at hole wall roughness after prep (i.e SEM)
when you're evaluating a new laminate.
We've observed some plasma recipes actually "polish" some FR4 Pb-free
laminates and make the HWPA worse. A hybrid stackup was used on the
product so some plasma was needed to prep the ptfe laminate to accept
plating. Permanganate wasn't getting it done in that case so plasma was
eval'd (alone and in combo w/ permanganate). After that particular plasma
process, no amount of permanganate processing would roughen the
surface. The plasma would polish away any roughening when preceded by
permanganate. There were other issues w/ drill profile/smear and quality
of electroless that had to be improved as well on that project.
Bottomline, don't hesitate to use some tools like SEM to get some a
qualitative view of hole prep and electroless dep.
