PCB production involves two main methods: the hole etching method and the pattern plating method, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The etching method provides uniform lines and impedance control while posing environmental pollution concerns and the risk of hole breakage resulting in scrapped boards. On the other hand, the pattern plating method offers easier control over alkali corrosion but may result in uneven lines and environmental pollution.

The primary step in line production is the application of dry film, which typically achieves a resolution of 2mil/2mil line width after exposure. Most exposure machines can handle line widths within this range without issues. For line widths of 4mil/4mil or more, the development machine nozzle, pressure, and syrup concentration have less impact. However, for line widths below 3mil/3mil, the nozzle becomes a crucial factor affecting resolution. Fan-shaped nozzles are commonly used, with a pressure of 3BAR for development.

Exposure energy greatly influences line quality, but the general market currently utilizes dry film exposure within the range of 12-18 levels (25-foot exposure) or 7-9 levels (21-foot exposure). Lower exposure energy tends to improve resolution, but if the energy is too low, dust and debris in the air can impact subsequent processes, leading to open circuits during etching or short circuits during alkaline etching. Therefore, the choice of circuit board line width and spacing should consider actual production conditions and darkroom cleanliness.

Exposure machines come in two types: air-cooled with a surface light source and water-cooled with a point light source. Both types typically have a nominal resolution of 4mil, but with adjustments or specific operations, resolutions of 3.0mil/3.0mil or even 0.2mil/0.2mil can be achieved. However, caution must be exercised when reducing energy to 1.5mil/1.5mil due to the potential impact of dust and debris. Additionally, experiments have shown no significant difference in resolution between Mylar and glass surfaces.

Factors such as film speed, temperature during production, board cleanliness, Diazo film cleanliness, etching foil parameters, and exposure cleanliness are crucial in determining the success and quality of the board formation and alkali erosion during the production process.
