Searching for some small components I came over that one.

? Micro via SSBU allowed ? Micro via SBU to be avoided



What's the difference between SSBU and SBU vias that make the SBU to avoid?



From

page 37, I can't see anything making a difference.



So...?



Thanks, Fred.

The microvias look to be about 1/3 as deep with SSBU, no?

Where did you see that? As I read it, the design rules for microvia depth are the same for SBU (Sequential Build-Up) and SSBU (Semi- Sequential Build-Up). The SSBU consists of two or more SBUs laminated together. In either case there is a limit of two layers of microvia per side per build with the current recommended process; using 2 SBUs in a SSBU allows 8 layers of uvia vice 4 with SSU and it is hard to see how this is better except for routing density. But perhaps I am missing something ...
