Partial HDI: A Complete Solution
10/10/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWe recently spoke with IPC instructor Kris Moyer about partial HDI, a process that’s recently been growing in popularity. Partial HDI allows designers to escape route out from tight-pitch BGAs on one layer, where a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is not an option, while avoiding the complexity and expense of sequential lamination cycles. As Kris explains, this process doesn’t add much to the cost, and it’s fairly straightforward. But there are some competing signal integrity and fabrication requirements to contend with. We asked Kris to walk us through this process.
