Create external DRC for different plating spacing

ENEGUE over 5 years ago

Hi Guys,

Any idea how to create external DRC to cater the spacing between two type of plating.

Component 1: ENIG plating,(Package geometry/Gold_top are use for this defination)

Component 2: OSP plating,( define by overlap area between soldermask and metal layer in padstack)

axlAirGap should be able to be used to calculate the spacing. Then use axlDBCreateExternalDRC to create the drc.

I don't have time to look at this thoroughly but you should be able to use the anlyLayer option of axlAirGap to avoid creating the shape.
