This is a very interesting discussion that should have no bearing on our circuits but?? We use double treated foil on some of our single sided flexible circuits. All circuits here are nickel and gold plated (electrolytic). For years we have had few problems with this process, yet for several months now we have had a problem with adhesion of the nickel to the double treat foil. We have checked our resist stripping process and enhanced the pre plate clean. There has been an improvement but the problem persists. Is there a connection??
