Many of today\u2019s fine pitch <acronym title=\"Ball Grid Array\">BGA<\/acronym> and flip-chip component footprints do not allow for running traces and through. Instead, the <strong>blind and buried vias<\/strong> will only connect those layers that are required to have a connection in that specific area, allowing for PCB real estate space savings.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"headings\" style=\"color: #000000;\">(Laser Drilled) Blind \/ Buried Via<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span class=\"subheadings\">Voids\u2014Desmear \/ DeAsh<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nTo insure that blind vias are properly desmeared and deashed (if laser drilled), we utilize a two-step desmear process. This process first requires that the panels be submitted to a plasma conditioning process in our March Plasma System. We then process through a chemical desmear that has been optimized for micro- and blind vias. This line has been outfitted with long-stroke agitation and flight bar vibration to enhance fluid movement and prevent air bubble entrapment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"subheadings\">Voids\u2014Hole Preparation<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWe have installed a Hollmuller Shadow hole preparation line that has been outfitted with advanced spray technologies. These spray technologies allow us to use this high-reliability hole preparation process for blind vias.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"subheadings\">Voids\u2014Copper Plating<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nFurther, our copper plating lines have been outfitted with long-stroke agitation and flight bar vibration to enhance fluid movement and prevent air bubble entrapment. By 2010, we expect to have installed Reverse Pulse Plating in our facility to plate even the most aggressive designs, and also to copper fill these so that your blind vias can also be used as via-in-pad technology.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this and other type of board technology, please <a href=\"mailto:RFQ@pcb4assembly.com\">contact us<\/a> for a custom price quote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blind, Buried Via on Printed Circuits Blind Via are defined as those vias that start on an outer layer but terminate on an inner layer.
