Technology Overview

What Are Blind & Buried Vias?

Essential interconnect technologies for high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs that maximize routing density while minimizing board size.

🔵

Blind Vias

Vias that connect an outer layer to one or more inner layers without passing through the entire board. Laser-drilled for precision, they free up routing space on inner layers that would otherwise be blocked by through-hole vias.

🟣

Buried Vias

Vias that connect inner layers only, completely invisible from the board surface. They eliminate via stubs, improve signal integrity, and allow more components and traces on outer layers.

⚡

Microvias

Laser-drilled vias with diameters typically ≤0.15mm. Used in sequential lamination HDI builds (1+N+1, 2+N+2, 3+N+3 patterns) for ultra-high-density designs like smartphones and wearables.

HDI Manufacturing Process

Sequential Lamination Flow

1

Core Laminate

Inner core layers are fabricated with buried vias, copper plating, and etching. AOI inspection ensures trace quality.

2

Laser Drill

UV/CO₂ laser drilling creates blind microvias in prepreg and copper foil with positional accuracy to ±0.025mm.

3

Plate & Fill

Electroless copper deposition followed by electroplating. Copper or epoxy resin fill eliminates voids in vias.

4

Test & Ship

100% E-test, AOI, X-ray inspection, and cross-section verification. IPC-A-600 Class 2/3 acceptance.
