Try increasing your etch -rate, this will improve your surface. Also you may want to increase your acid content in the Entek bath itself.

>      Hi Techies,
>                 I'm currently having a problem getting even coverage on a
>      panel that has lots of smts and bgas. I run a dip process and have
>      eliminated everything up to and including the entek as a problem. All
>      solutions have been changed and different methods of precleaning have
>      been tried. Short of conveyorized equipment is there anything that I
>      can try so as to eliminate the spotty coverage.
