Via is normally a plated thru holes in (0.63 to 1.0 mm (0.025" to 0.040") diameter lands , which unless properly treated they must be located away from the component lands to prevent the solder migration off the component land during reflow soldering

Hi All I have a 0.7 mm diameter hole for vias, what�s the minimum annular ring for this hole diameter? Ans: Fur inner layers Min = .006" hole-pad annular ring ; inner pad dia - hole dia/2 For outer layers Min = .005" hole-pad annular ring ; outer p

Russ We agree with your comments on plugging from one side only. But... We believe that it IS possible to trap process chemicals [technically, not flux] in a blind [or any other] via. This can be done by plating the via closed, rather than pluggi

OK, I've now read all of the documents you referenced. The problem still remains regarding the thermal vias and how to minimize scavenging. All the docs acknowledge top and bottom tenting, and it's problems. TI says don't do it. Plugging is usually n

Wolfgang is correct. Copper plating thickness of the via barrel walls is a key question you need to answer to troubleshoot this. Tenting is a red herring.

The blistering is around the plugging via. I can forward you the pic. For the plugging process, I'm not too sure how they plug. What is the correct practise for the plugging via. Now, what they did is. They will do a tenting process for both side.
