Implementation of liquid resists for the manufacture of inner layers in a merchant PCB manufacturing plant: a steep learning curve

Abstract

This paper details the experiences gained by a photoresist manufacturer, an equipment supplier and a PCB manufacturing end user in the conversion of an inner layer production facility from dry film to liquid resists. The paper describes the steps necessary to plan the conversion, install equipment, start up production, train personnel and yield improve a liquid resist fine line inner layer process.
