Background In the manufacturing process of a high-precision PCB (printed circuit board), a solder mask bridge and a bonding pad are designed on the same surface at the same time, wherein the bonding pad is of a solder mask windowing structure with smaller size, the solder mask bridge is used for separating adjacent bonding pads to avoid short circuit during welding, and the bonding pad is used for realizing accurate welding with pins of components. In the exposure link of the solder mask process, in order to prevent bridge white phenomenon (namely, the unstable state of the bottom of the solder mask bridge is suspended and the bridge is endangered) and bridge dropping defect of the solder mask bridge, the solidification of the solder mask bridge is ensured to be firm, a higher-energy exposure process is usually adopted in the industry, but the design size of a bonding pad is smaller, the higher-energy exposure is easy to cause the problem of poor exposure, so that the windowing size of the bonding pad is reduced, in particular, when the exposure energy is too high, the solder mask ink at the windowing edge of the bonding pad is excessively exposed and solidified, the solidification range exceeds the design windowing boundary, the part of excessively solidified ink cannot be dissolved by developing liquid in the development stage, the actual windowing size of the bonding pad is smaller than the design size, the requirement of the size of welding of a component cannot be met, and finally the reject ratio of a PCB product is increased.
