  • Patent number: 6807732
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for modifying an inner-layer circuit feature of a printed circuit board. A trimming point on the inner-layer circuit feature is identified using an x-ray inspection system. The coordinates of the trimming point are then related to the coordinates of a visible reference marker on the printed circuit board. Next, the relationship between the visible reference marker and the trimming point is used to position a cutting tool over the trimming point. Finally, the cutting tool is used to make one or more cuts into the printed circuit board, until the inner-layer circuit feature is acceptably modified at the trimming point.
