... can be read by most CAM tools automatically. For netlists, IPC-D-356 is the preferred format for fabrication. It's widely used by many of the | CIRCUIT BOARDS | bare-board test-fixturing machines and is one of the only true ways to identify power- to-ground shorts. With the information in this format coming directly from | CIRCUIT BOARDS | the engineering CAD system, there's no danger of the fabricator "reverse engineering" the netlist from the Gerber files. Next up are the internal plane layers. | CIRCUIT BOARDS | For some reason, CAD engineers like them to be "positive," but those types of layers lead to huge file sizes. Negative plane layers are usually | CIRCUIT BOARDS | preferred by fabricators because they're easier to work with and have smaller file sizes than positive layers. Remember, boards are manufactured en masse and must | CIRCUIT BOARDS | be stepped out into a panelized form. The result: Data sets with lots of unnecessary positive planes swell exponentially, bog down CAM systems, and crash | CIRCUIT BOARDS | photoplotters. After the basic prep work is completed, step into the ...

... - no mask on pads and unwanted exposed copper - must be balanced. It is not easy to do. How can the designer help? | CIRCUIT BOARDS | Devise a standardized clearance, or set the clearances at 1:1, and let the shop do the soldermask enhancement. Here's another issue: the soldermask webbing between | CIRCUIT BOARDS | pads on fine-pitch surface mount devices. Most masks can go to 0.003" without the resist flaking off. However, if the pads are so tightly grouped | CIRCUIT BOARDS | that the dams between them are less than 0.003", it's better to construct a mask opening over the entire group. That will make the fabricator's | CIRCUIT BOARDS | life much simpler. Bear in mind that a fabricator's spacing tolerances likely differ from yours. For example, take the drill data. When laying out a | CIRCUIT BOARDS | board, you usually work with finished hole sizes. However, a fabricator must drill a hole larger than the finished one, about 0.004" to 0.005" over, | CIRCUIT BOARDS | then plate down to the desired finished size. This can lead to problems in maintaining annular ring requirements and copper ...
