P50 controller described a TCAS RA event involving an IFR sdl departure and traffic in the vicinity ...

Narrative:

Aircraft X departed sdl climbing to 6000 feet. I vectored the aircraft east of dvt because of the volume of VFR targets near dvt. Aircraft X reported that he was beginning a TCAS climb. I advised that I was showing a primary target at his nine o'clock and one mile. The aircraft was reported in sight and aircraft X descended from 6400 feet back to 6000 feet. Aircraft X was then vectored on course and continued their flight. Recommend that departure procedures from sdl that do not place aircraft so close to dvt be establised. Very often there are so many targets near dvt that data block overlap makes seeing traffic difficult.

Title: P50 Controller described a TCAS RA event involving an IFR SDL departure and traffic in the vicinity of DVT. The Controller indicated only a primary target was observed; and suggested SDL departure routes need to be changed.
