Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning process for use primarily in the fabrication of printed circuit boards. Cleaning is done in-line with the coating and development of a photoresist layer. The process includes a spray cleaning and micro-etch, followed by the application of an anti-tarnish so that the boards can be stored prior to plating.
