Language of Electronics: Transitioning From Contact Exposure to DI Solder Mask E In the first of the commentaries from Orbotech West domain experts, Raanan Novik, our PCB process and Orbotech Diamond expert, will ad- dress one of the biggest issues faced by imaging engineers in PCB manufacturing facilities: the difficulty of exposing solder mask with increas- ingly tighter clearances and smaller features. The intent of our series is to provide customers and others with knowledge and tips for maxi- mizing the value of manufacturing systems. Here, Raanan discusses the key motivators for transitioning to directly imaged (DI) solder mask exposure and ways to do so successfully.
