Gary,

Good points.  Can you refer me to any studies that associate VIP design vs.
"unacceptable"  voiding?  A little voiding may be good for reliability but
too much is not good.  I struggle with determining how large or deep a VIP
can be before it contributes or causes unacceptable voiding.

Technetters,

Please let us not throw the baby out with the bath water. I would hate for
VIP technology to get a bad name when in essence your valid concerns are
associated with larger vias than used in HDI technology. A similar panic was
created
against dry film soldermasks because the commonly used dry film mask
thicknesses were around 0.006 in. When mask manufacturers introduced high
conformance
thin masks (0.001 - 0.002 in) to address the needs of SMT , everyone shunned
them because they were "dry film", when in reality their gripes were with
the
thicker cousins.

Regards,

Gary
