WE NEED MORE INFORMATION!  Are the traces in low-density areas, with
other areas of high density not exhibiting the problem?  Are the problems
due to nodules or spikes, or are they low-current or high-current
burning?  Is this problem only on circuits?-what about in the holes or on
the pads?
WE NEED MORE INFORMATION!

     dear technet plating engineers,
     need to know how to overcome grainy copper deposit & dendrite
copper
     growth in acid copper plating.Dendrite grows at track edge & shorts
     with neighbouring track.
     Does acid dip before copper plating with copper contamination about
     100 ppm can cause this.
     thanks.
