We received this via fax at the IPC office and are forwarding to technet
for comment. Can anyone help?

Statement of Process Problem
We are fabricating a 10 layer multilayer PWB with a 0.025" thick solid copper
heatsink (12" x 18") in its center, with 5 layers on each side. This PWB has
been previously fabricated using a conventional multilayer layup methodology
with all layers assembled and then laminated in one package. We experienced a
low yield rate. It was attributed to shorts caused by bubbles that formed
within the drilled holes of the heatsink.
We are currently experimenting with changing the production process to
laminate the PWB in two stages - first completely fill the holes in the
heatsink with prepreg, inspect and Second - layup the layers as usual. The
heatsink undergoes pattern hole drilling, sanding and black oxide surface
preparation treatment. The heatsink is assembled in the following package in
the Multilayer Lamination Room: steel (12" x 18") lamination plate, aluminum
sheet, 1 sheet tedlar release, 1 sheet each of 1080 prepreg, 2 sheets each of
106 prepreg, heatsink, 2 sheets each of 106 prepreg, 1 sheet each of 1080
prepreg, 1 sheet tedlar release, 1 aluminum sheet, steel lamination plate.
The package undergoes lamination in a sealed vacuum "turkey" bag attached to
a vacuum bag pulling 30" hg, in a Wabash single opening lamination press for
30 minutes at 375 deg. F & 4500# total force. Upon visual inspection, the
heatsink/pregreg package exhibited bubbles in every drilled hole. It this the
result of resin starvation in the holes?
