Subject: [TN] FAB house challenge...

Hi All,

We've have a prospective customer coming in to see us in the near future, to build an assembly for them. Pretty dense, double-sided SMT, there's over 900 parts on a fab that's 5" X  5"...a good part of the part count are 0402's and 0603's.

But that's not going to be the hardest part of this deal. In my mind it's going to be building the bare fab. It's a 14-layer board, with 3-mil lines and spaces., and has over 5,000 8-mil vias, over 1,100 10-mil vias, and over 400 24-mil vias.

I'm wondering if anybody knows a fab house that is comfortable doing something like this. Just curious too, what kind of "ball-park" price would one expect to pay for a board like this.

You can reply off-line if you wish...again, we don't have the business yet, just trying to get an idea of who the players are in building something like this.

Thanks!
