This is a fairly mature technology. Make sure you clearly define via fill
requirement on the drawing so there is no surprise. If your current board
suppliers don't have experience with via fill, be caution, find one that
does via fill on regular basis. It is not a plug and play technology.

Subject: [TN] Via in pad using filled or plugged vias

We are looking at the possibility of using boards designed with vias in pad
and having those vias filled.  What should we be concerned with? ( I know
this is a overly broad question, just looking for a place to start.)

Thanks,
