Before you go through all the work of developing your own company DFX guideline...
IPC is building a complete DFX program, which includes:
1. IPC industry Guideline for DFX-Design For Excellence:
This document will help users to customize their own DFX guidelines for every project
A range of IPC manufacturability standards are covered, along with the reasoning behind them.
Including DFM (Design For Manufacturability), DFA (Design For Assembly), DFT (Design For Test), and more.
The IPC DFX Guideline is in development now with a Committee of technologists, scheduled for release by Q3 of 2015
2. A full-day educational course
This class does not simply review the Guideline document - it provides additional information:
practical knowledge from experts with global manufacturability experience
Available NOW: on-site at the IPC APEX EXPO show as a professional development course, and on request from IPC program manager
All engineering staff and management involved in product development will benefit from the IPC DFX program:
Design, Fabrication, Assembly, Test, Sales
Please let me know how I can provide more information for your team,

DFX also means Design For eXcellence :-)
Just so happens that I am doing some review of this topic right now, gathering data for a company guideline.
Already have input from Jabil and NBS. Also an unfinished 2003 pdf from Tom Hausherr of PCB Libraries.
If you don't mind sharing, feel free to send me your reference docs or URLs for my studies.
Thanks,

I recall discussing DFM
awhile back and it occurs to me that there is one additional area that belongs in the DF'X' family of Design Practice Criteria...
Design
for Reliability... :)

Subject: Re: [DC] Vias
The webinar was from 2011 and covered both HDI solid plated holes in 100um and 200um thick materials for blind thru hole applications by Mark Lefebvre and High Aspect ratio thru hole plating using Periodic Pulse Reverse Plating By Dennis Yee. (I just watched it)
Screaming Circuits has a photo
illustration of an example of what I was thinking about... http://screamingcircuits.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c008a53ef013484716f88970c-pi
I'm told that both Via
systems and TTM can do solid copper filled vias and stacked microvias... Though I have not had any made for boards I have been working on yet. Don Carron did a great presentation for the Designers Council here in San Diego all about different types of vias and their applications and the processes to create them... and we talked a bit about this subject of solid copper vias... One of the concerns was that the solid copper CTE is very different from the surrounding epoxy glass and at some point the solid copper would really create stress in the board around the hole over thermal excursions from let's say -20C to +80C normal component operation temperature extremes... or especially during reflow soldering. So there are probably practical limits on your board thickness to get away with using this technology... What the limits are I am not sure...

Copper plated filling of traditional thru holes vias is real... it is being done.
Please
check Dow's website... nice webinar explains the process and chemical requirements.

Hello Veronica,
Solid Copper filled vias you mentioned are about micro vias or traditional through hole vias?

Bill,
Can you
clarify your definition of "copper filled via"?
As far as I know, there is no via filling material that can be called a "copper fill".
As you mentioned, the thicker plating improves the thermal transfer and current carrying characteristics of via.
I've seen the drawings with a note
"vias can be plated shut".
However, the conventional plating process cannot close the via completely - there is always an air gap in the middle.
The Reverse Pulse Plating
Process provides the "solid copper plated via". So far only a few PWB manufacturers do that.
If
you use a solid copper plated vias in your designs, please share a name of PCB manufacturer that builds your boards.

Subject: Re: [DC] Vias
Peter was talking with me about using vias in thermal pads and how some still leave an open aperture the size of the thermal pad for their solder paste...
This can cause the solder paste when it melts to be wicked down the via holes starving the part for solder... depending on the diameter of the vias and how many there are...
One method to reduce this
effect is to change the stencil aperture to a pattern that avoids the vias and helps distribute the paste over the thermal pad area evenly...
See this
illustration by Texas Instruments...
http://www.ti.com/ods/images/SNLS302D/sample_layout_DAP_snls302.png
Another thing that helps is to
reduce the diameter of the via to reduce its wicking volume... smaller holes wick less...
I have
used .008 in. diameter vias for that purpose before...
Or... you can have the via
holes filled and planarized... thus no extra solder is wicked down the holes...
Partial filling
tends to cause problems...
For example:
Trapped gases will expand in the high heat of the reflow oven and cause solder balls to occur...
This
is bad for your design when installed in the electronics application it typically must work in because solder balls are conductive and can cause shorts between pins and exposed pads or get loose in vibration and bounce around to other assemblies and cause the same sort of problems.
Also I have found that filling
vias with solder does not improve their thermal transfer characteristics very much... Solder is not that great a heat conductor. Copper is the best thermal conductor typically for our PCB applications... so thicker copper plating in the holes or copper filled vias are bound to be far superior for thermal transfer reasons than filling the vias with solder.
