Laser Drilling as an Alternative for Via & Microvia Drilling

Technical Library | 2024-05-16 16:06:24.0

Much like actual cities where streets and roads connect buildings together, ICs on a board are connected to each other with copper traces. And just like any metropolitan city, urban expansion tends to move vertically instead of horizontally, but instead of multi-story buildings, we get multilayer boards. Vias are copper-plated holes spanning through the different layers of a given board or panel. They are the entrance locations to the subway stations, if you will. Having those multilayer boards has enabled electronic design to minimize the size of boards immensely without compromising on the complexity.
