Our new HDI pool allows customers to use microvias between layers L1-L2 and L2-L3 (or, alternatively, L6-L7 and L7-L8). Since the PCB is manufactured with our standard technology parameters, has two microvia runs, and the HDI is only applied to a part of the board, our solution, sometimes called ‘partial’ or ‘hybrid’ HDI, is cheaper than ‘full’ HDI. So when we want to use a single fine-pitch BGA – that perhaps comes in no other package – it doesn’t necessarily mean a very expensive board. In this article we’ll cover some techniques our customers may use to maximise the use of what the HDI pool can offer.
