I am manufacturing flexible circuits using immersion gold over electroless
nickel as the finish. If I use a polyimide covercoat there are no problems -
but if I use a photoimageable coverlay the process appears to be hit and miss.
Are dry film photoimageable coverlays subject to outgassing onto the copper
surface leading to problems in the plating process.
