Our Microvia PCB Capabilities

Our laser drilled microvia PCBs are fabricated using stacked, staggered, blind and buried via structures with controlled plating, planarization and impedance performance.

We support HDI stack ups up to 40 layers with IPC-A-610Type I, II, and III builds, copper-filled via-in-pad support, and full process traceability across lamination, inspection, and final PCB assembly.

We use high pulse UV and CO₂ laser systems for via formation, achieving hole diameters between 100 and 150 µm. 

Beam control features ±2% energy stability, spot size shaping down to 10 µm, and a programmable drill depth stop based on material thickness. 

Via positional accuracy is maintained within ±50 µm through fiducial alignment and real-time beam tracking. These systems allow clean microvia formation across PTFE, FR4, and high Tg cores

Our PCB assemblies are built according to IPC-A-610 Classes 1 through 3 requirements, ensuring solder-joint integrity, component alignment, cleanliness, and overall workmanship meet the stringent criteria for consumer, commercial, and high-reliability applications.

Builds can scale to 36 layers, using low-flow prepreg, vacuum lamination, and step drilling for hybrid via structures.

Stacked microvias are drilled and copper-filled sequentially with each lamination stage, using resin coated foil (RCF) and vacuum copper plating to maintain via verticality. 

Staggered vias offset by 0.2 to 0.3 mm reduce cumulative expansion and increase reliability. We maintain aspect ratios of ≤0.75:1 for stacked vias and control interconnect skew with layer-to-layer alignment of ±50 µm across the full HDI stack.

Microvias are filled using electrolytic copper plating at current densities of 20 to 30 ASF, forming via wall thicknesses between 20 and 25 µm. 

After plating, vias are planarized using chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) to maintain pad coplanarity within ±15 µm, supporting stable solder joint formation under BGA packages. 

The via fill factor is controlled to ≥95%, eliminating internal voids, improving thermal transfer and preventing solder collapse during reflow.

For via-in-pad builds, filled vias are capped and planarized to a surface tolerance of ±10 μm before the application of the solder mask. 

These structures are used with fine-pitch BGA and CSP devices, down to 0.4 mm pitch, with no solder wicking or collapse. 

VIPPO structures are verified by X-ray, microsectioning, and SMT trial builds to ensure flatness and joint stability during the PCB assembly process.

Our microvia PCBs are fabricated on FR4, PTFE, LCP, Isola 370HR, Rogers 4003C, and halogen free systems.

Each laminate is selected based on laser ablation profile, glass transition temperature (Tg), Df/Dk targets, and stack up thickness compatibility.

For stacked builds, resin content is adjusted to prevent flow-out and maintain dielectric spacing across inner layers and blind spans.

Each panel undergoes AOI via ring check, pad alignment and annular ring clearance validation. 

X-ray inspection ensures internal via fill and concentricity, with inspection resolutions down to 10 µm voxel size. 

Microsection analysis confirms plating thickness, resin voids, and via wall adhesion. All buried and blind vias are tested in accordance with IPC acceptance limits.

HDI stack ups are modeled with field solver simulations and manufactured with ±5 Ω tolerance on 50 Ω single-ended and 90 Ω differential traces. 

Each microvia layer’s dielectric constant and copper thickness are carefully controlled. 

We verify impedance by TDR sampling across stacked via paths on impedance coupons placed on every panel.

What is Microvia PCB?

A microvia PCB is a high density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit board that uses laser-drilled vias with diameters between 3 and 6 mil (75 and 150 µm) to form connections between adjacent or sequential copper layers. These microvias allow for denser trace routing, smaller pad sizes and higher layer counts within compact board dimensions.

Microvias differ from traditional vias by their smaller drill size, tighter pad pitch and formation method. Traditional vias are mechanically drilled and often span multiple layers, while microvias are created by laser ablation and connect only one or two layers at a time. This allows for finer routing and improved interconnect reliability in HDI stack ups.

Types of Microvias Used in PCB Manufacturing

As a microvia PCB supplier, WellPCB fabricates multiple via structures used to form electrical connections across adjacent and non-adjacent layers in HDI builds. These include blind, buried, stacked, staggered, via-in-pad and any-layer microvias, each implemented based on the supplied stackup and build sequence.

How Are Microvias Drilled and Etched During PCB Fabrication?

Microvias are drilled using laser or mechanical systems, then etched with plasma or chemical processes to clean via walls and expose copper targets. These steps define the via profile, control interconnect quality, and prepare the structure for copper plating in HDI builds.

Laser drilling is the most common method for modern microvia PCB fabrication due to its precision, speed, and consistent hole quality.

CO₂ lasers use focused carbon dioxide beams to burn through copper and dielectric materials. The intense heat energy vaporizes material to create holes as small as 75 to 100 microns. This is widely used for forming laser microvias in HDI stackups.

UV lasers use ultraviolet laser technology for even greater precision, capable of creating microvias with diameters as small as 25 microns, featuring superior edge quality and minimal heat-affected zones. These systems are ideal for laser-drilled microvias used in blind microvias and stacked microvia applications.

Mechanical drilling is used in PCB microvia fabrication when the via diameter exceeds 150 microns. High speed machines with tungsten carbide drill bits are applied. These bits, made from tungsten-cobalt alloys, offer extreme hardness and wear resistance. However, this method is not suited for forming laser microvias due to bit fragility and limited minimum diameter.

Plasma etching is commonly applied in HDI PCB fabrication to remove resin smear and oxidize copper on the internal via walls. It uses oxygen-rich plasma to create a controlled oxidation reaction with copper and resin materials. The process is essential in preparing microvias for stable plating in high-density interconnect designs.

Chemical etching uses targeted chemical agents to dissolve copper and resin from specific areas during microvia fabrication. These solutions are applied to designated drilling sites, dissolving material layer-by-layer and shaping the via PCB profile with high precision.

What Are the Different Types of HDI Stackups and Via Structures?

The main types of HDI stack ups include Type I, Type II, Type III, and any-layer configurations, each defined by its microvia arrangement, lamination cycle count, and routing complexity. These structures are selected based on signal density, board thickness limits, and component placement in HDI PCB design and microvia PCB fabrication.

hdi high frequency pcb

Uses a single layer of microvias on each outer layer of a rigid core. These blind microvias connect the outer layer to the first internal layer, forming the simplest and most cost-effective HDI PCB manufacturing structure for compact digital products and consumer electronics product builds.

Combines surface microvias with buried microvias in the core. This stack up supports complex BGA routing and enables high-density interconnects between internal layers. Type II designs are used in microvia PCB builds where surface area is limited and multiple signal layers are required.

Incorporates two or more stacked or staggered microvias on each side of the core, often alongside blind and buried vias. Type III supports advanced HDI builds with dense signal routing, via-in-pad configurations, and small PCB microvias across fine-pitch components.

Allows vias to connect any layer of PCB to any other using multiple stacked laser-drilled microvias and sequential lamination cycles. These structures are commonly found in high-performance devices, where routing flexibility, timing optimization, and space efficiency are top priorities.
