Abstract: A detector compares a drain voltage with a first threshold voltage and outputs a first detection signal. An ON-counter detects a period of time during which current flows in a switching circuit based on the first detection signal, counts the period of time based on a predetermined clock cycle, and outputs an ON-count value. A first comparator receives the ON-count value and an ON-threshold value and outputs a first comparison signal when the ON-count value and the ON-threshold value match. A second comparator receives the ON-count value and a decreased ON threshold value, compares the ON-count value and the decreased ON-threshold value, and outputs a second comparison signal. An ON-mask time adjuster receives the second comparison signal and outputs an ON-threshold value for adjusting a mask time and a decreased ON-threshold value that is less than the ON threshold value.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a lamination fluid useful in processes for wet laminating a photopolymerizable film onto circuit board panels or other substrates. The lamination system comprises 1) a dry film photoresist, 2) a laminate comprising i) copper ii) stainless steel iii) non metal on a surface, 3) a lamination fluid and 4) fluid application device on the laminates. The lamination fluid comprises water and a surface energy modification agent. The surface energy modification agent is present in a range between 0.0001 and 3.0 moles/liter, and the pH of the fluid is between 3 and 11.
