Although I have read the Small Hole Reliability study by the
IPC, I feel that it is very outdated (1988?). In those
days, board fabricators were on a learning curve for small
holes. Many process improvements have been put in place
since then, including vibrators in the deposition baths to
remove entrapped air bubbles.
I stand by my earlier staement that removal of
non-functional pads is much preferred by board houses. As
layers increase, the amount of copper drilled through can be
as much as .016" - .018"!
It is time for the IPC to do another study instead of
relying on a seemingly outdated document.
