Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Solder Mask and Legend
04/09/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsPCBs seem to be getting more complex by the day, so it is important for designers to keep educating themselves about the realities of manufacturing increasingly intricate boards. Last month’s column highlighted design considerations for the strip-etch-strip process and how manufacturers approach that phase of production. Now that we have a functioning board, we must protect the PCB from environmental hazards and document the circuit components. This article will detail the solder mask and legend process and offer best practices for designers to ensure a high-quality result.

The Chemical Connection: Managing Cumulative Process Variations for Fun and Profit
03/23/2026 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionTolerances have become increasingly tight as PCBs have grown more complex and reduced in size, weight, and power consumption. Even if we maintain a traditional ±10% variation in etched line width, the tolerance in a 50 µm (0.002" or 2 mils) wide etched line is only 5 µm (0.0002” or 0.2 mils). That’s not very much, and it gets even worse as the line and space requirements drop to 25 µm lines and spaces.
