We have a couple engineers who are insisting on using Via in (SMT) pad. I'm not talking about micro via in a BGA pad. I'm talking about vias with a 10 to 28 mil hole in a 0805, PLCC, QFP, and other SMT pad.
In order for this to work in manufacturing they must be filled, without voids, and capped flush on the solder surface.
Does anyone know of a board house that does this process?
Would you have an idea what the general cost effect to a board for this process and does it make a difference if it's one via or 500 vias? Cost difference between electrically conductive and thermally conductive fill?
Any information would be helpful,
