PET Base Film for PCB Dry Film Photoresist: What It Does and How to Select It
Introduction When engineers discuss dry film photoresist for printed circuit board manufacturing, attention usually goes first to the photosensitive resin. However, another material plays a critical supporting role throughout coating, handling and exposure: the PET base film. In dry film resist systems, a photosensitive resin layer is laminated onto a light-transmitting polyester base film, while a polyethylene cover film is typically used on the opposite side for protection. During PCB processing, the cover film is removed, the photosensitive layer is laminated onto the circuit-board substrate, and UV exposure is carried out through the PET base film before the carrier is
