Louis,

I knew I should have kept my big keyboard shut until Rudy chimed in.  He 
always has a better answer then mine on chemical questions.

have  a good weekend,

Re: [TN] tin redeposit???

Louis:
This is a very common problem, particularly if you are stripping in a 
tank.
There exists a mechanism to completely stop this, which is available in 
some strippers, like ours for instance.
Other things you can do to minimize the problem, over time:
The current Tin plating baths usually have a high load of (Stannic) Tin 
oxide dispersed in the bath.  This is the enemy.   This oxide is 
co-deposited with the metal, then dissolves in the stripper, and immersion 
plates on the exposed Copper.
Put a VERY fine filter on the bath, to filter out the Tin oxide.   Monitor 
dissolved Tin oxide levels by taking a 250 ml cylinder of bath out once a 
week, and allowing to settle overnight, and noting level of settled oxide.
Make sure anode area is high.   Too low an anode area promotes the Tin 
going to Stannic Tin oxide, instead of going into solution as Stannous, as 
it "should".
Further info on photoresist strippers that prevent this problem available 
off-Technet.

Technetters, hoping this question is not too arcane, has anyone 
experienced sporadic tin redeposit on exposed copper surfaces during the 
photoresist stripping process prior to final ammoniacal etching? In this 
case electroplated tin is used as an etch resist.

Thanks for any comments.
