Last option (larger pkg.) is safest choice for us. It is available in 1MM
or 0.8MM (don't remember which off hand). Fairly high volume/harsh
environment (automotive). The unfortunate aspect of that decision is, of
course, the impact of the larger pkg. in the available space. But we stay
pretty far behind the bleeding edge because of the potentially catastrophic
problems that can come up after something's been out in the field for a
while.

Thanks for your input!

Hi Chris

Some of the options are:

L1-L2 microvia, great for smaller parts (4x4 array).

Selective outer layer plating and ~75um tracks for fanout of larger parts
(might as well have L1-L2 microvia as well) - but this
restricts the number of fab shops that would take on the job.

L1-L2 and L1-L3 non-sequential - aspect ratio really restricts the
impedance options available for L2 tracks. Pitch calls for
small capture pad so either L1 clearances are going to be tight or risk of
breakout will be higher or aspect ratio is "leading
edge" (the latter is not a good idea for smaller holes!)

L1-L2 and L2-L3 sequential build/plate for larger arrays. Within the
capabilities of many fabs, more processing so more
expensive. Stacked microvia will improve SI but reduce the fab options.

Multiple layer stacked uvia - costly so only really worth considering if
the intrinsic properties are desirable for other
reasons such as SI (useful alternative to back drilling when combined with
surface contact connectors)

Full blown HDI on flex - not always desirable for large circuits especially
if there are a lot of chunky parts!

LCP with sandwiched silver bump interconnects - not compatible with
conventional solder attach (certainly not PB free), but
really worth considering for wire bond and adhesive attach. Layer count
restrictions apply.

Last option - are the same parts available in large pitch or leadframes
packages? Do your volumes allow ordering chips packaged
to your Requiremnts?

Best Regards

David Greig

Hello Andre-

We just starting a design using same. So far, have found no recommendation
other than micro-vias. If you discover an
alternative, please let me know about it.

Best Regards

Hi,

I would like some idea's or suggestions concerning a board that has a 0.5mm
BGA.
Specifically, I would like to know what type of via was used to break out.
We are currently designing a board that will have 12 layers and we are
going to use micro-vias for this type of BGA.

Is there any other way ?

Thanks in advance,

Andre Demers, C.I.D.
