Steve,

According to your suggestion, layer 2 and layer 9 are PWR planes, I think it is 
not good for EMI performance.

Defining one or more GND plane outer will have good shield effect.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Regards.

  Zhuyongfa well that makes the problem more complicated. So what we know 
  about the stack-up:

  1 Top
  2 GND
  7mils
  3 Signal
  8 mils
  4 Power mixed
  5 ? presume signal
  6 ? presume signal
  7 GND
  8 mils
  8 ? presume signal
  7 mils
  9 Power mixed
  10 Bottom

  I suggest that this would work better:

  1 Top
  2 Power mixed
  11
  3 Signal
  4 mils
  4 GND
  4 mils
  5 signal
   > 10 mils
  6 signal
  4 mils
  7 GND
  4 mils
  8 signal
  11 mils
  9 Power mixed
  10 Bottom

  All signal layers tightly reference GND, can readily change routing 
  layers as needed and will perform well. The distance from GND to any of 
  the power layers hasn't changed so your bypass for IC power delivery is 
  unchanged. But now the signals will not excite the PDN, making the board 
  much quieter for a given bypass strategy.

  Steve.
