Tom,
One more item to ask:
What is the required plating in the hole - Cu thickness?
What is the finish thickness - Ni thickness? Au thickness?
Are the vias covered / plugged with soldermask?
Issues to think about are:
Too little plating in the via hole
Trapped corrosives in the hole
Thanks

Subject: [DC] Via Open
Tech Net & Designer Net
Greetings. We are running into a situation on Lead Free processed PCBs.
Failure mode is finding open vias during unit testing (fully populated).
Boards are Tg170, Material type EM320, 0.063" thick boards.
6 layers of 1 oz copper. ENIG 3~5u"
Suspect vias go from top layer to bottom layer only.
After running through reflow, we have found vias open. No visual signs
of delamination, however when ohming out the via, if we press on the via
we get continuity - thus we suspect the vias are opening during the
process.
Anyone out there having these problems, or information concerning this
failure mode? Z-expansion failure?
