This update adds a brief look at how CAM engineers adjust layout data before fabrication.
Pad growth, mask expansion, trace width compensation, and drill-offset budgeting are applied to prevent annular ring loss, copper exposure, and breakout in Class 3 builds.
A simple before and after diagram is included to illustrate how these corrections stabilize yield.
