Support for laser-drilled and Micro-vias

Micro-via Support

Micro-via Layer Stack
3D View of Micro-vias

Micro-vias can be easily integrated into your design using functionality within the Layer Spans option. Create intelligent Micro-vias, laser-drilled from the top or bottom sides and differentiated from other non-lasered vias. Micro-via types for normal, tapered, stacked, composite and stacked/tapered can be created to suit your manufacturing processes and requirements.
Where Micro-vias require a Stop pad for laser-drilling, this can style can also be defined, as well as a Start pad definition. Composite Micro-vias can be created for multi-spanned vias; these would be separate vias moving as one 'unit' in the design for maximum design integrity.

Advanced Micro-via functionality includes:

  • Advanced Layer Spans
  • support for normal, blind/buried, stacked, tapered,
    composite and stacked/tapered Micro-vias
  • Multi-spanned composite Micro-vias
  • Separate drilling output for laser-drilling
  • Entry/Stop Pad definition for laser-drilling
  • Advanced Reports for manufacturing
  • Advanced Micro-via constraint rules
  • Layer Stack preview
  • Micro-via display in 3D Viewer
