Seth,

There are two basic ways to do it. One is, when necessary, to use sequential
lamination that forces resin up the "standard" size (not micro via) hole
leaving it relatively flat or flush to the surface. Then, the hole is
electrolessly deposited and electroplated over. The second is to fill the
holes with conductive material/resin and do the same. The conductive resin
usually is silver and does a nice job as well.

Flatness, to some, can be an issue. I'll post an image, showing a typical
condition, on Steve's site if he will be so kind. However, the surfaces are
suitable for BGA type devices because of their self aligning tendencies.
Haven't used it for others but chip components that don't find the surfaces
a problem especially compared to vias that are disastrous.

This whole issue, for me, revolves around some R/F folks, and their designs,
not recalculating the electrical requirements to get rid of vias in holes.
As you know, touching these parts up is not feasable as the solder still
keeps draining down the holes and chip cracking occurs during the process.
Chip devices just can't take to much thermal and shouldn't with good designs.

Oh Seth, before I forget, I forgot how to get either myself or other folks
into your ftp site. Some folks are asking me how and I need to know as well
as I'm on a different computer now and lost the info.

Thanks,

Earl
