Hi Wayne - etchback isn't necessary for acceptable PTH reliability for some
products and product use environments so that may not be a contributing
issue. With that being said, I like etchback as it always makes the inner
connections better/more robust and in some product use environments having
etchback is necessary for long term product life. One question we haven't
asked as a group is " was etchback required in the fabrication
requirements?"
