According to me, depends of via technologie: micro-vias (laser drilled) can reach only one layer depth, so this layer should be routing layer. Mechanically drilled vias do not have this restriction, so you have the choice.

Is this necessary to have ROUTING layer adjacent to Top and Bottom layers or we may have Planes (negative) layers adjacent to Top/Bottom and then a positive routing layer. In case we have planes layer adjacent to TOP, then the TOP-Blind via must be like from TOP->Plane->Signal layer, right? Looking forward to some expert opinion. Cheers, Hamid. ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list go to //www.freelists.org/archives/icu-pcb-forum/ Problems or Questions: Send an email to icu-pcb-forum-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----------------------------------------------------------
