Short Version:
Can we expose the Aluminium core of a Aluminium PCB to a surface?
And if so, how? Is there a Gerber layer we can use for a (inverted) Thermal insulation mask?
Long version:
The Aluminium PCB stackup looks like this
-Aluminium Base
-Thermal insulation
-Copper
-Solder Mask
-(Silk screen)
I now want a area (around a hole, for a screw) to have exposed aluminium. There should be no silk, no solder stop, no copper and no thermal insulation. The area has a diameter of about 4.5mm around a hole with 3mm diameter.
Can you manufacture that?
And if you can, how should i name the layer that indicates where there is no Thermal insulation?
