Bill,

I too wish that I could find good numbers for LPI Soldermask. Unfortunately,
only a couple of soldermask suppliers give us values in the GHz ranges. One
of
the most common used in the US, Taiyo, only has 1 MHz values on their Tech
Data Sheets. Enthone has some graphs that suggest around ~4.0 value at 1
GHz.

Has anybody seen better values for Taiyo PSR4000 (LPI Soldermask)?

Regards,

Regards,

PS-I've been hounding these guys for years on this! I'm just grateful that
the
soldermask has a very minor impact on the impedance calculations.
