We do boards every day that are 3 and 3 with microvias in pad. The board
shops completely fill the hole with copper and then plate over it. They
then planerize the copper so the pad is flat. I think it's pretty
standard nowadays. We simply add a note to the fab drawing to plate the
microvia closed and to "repad" so the surface is flat.

Hi All,

Does anyone know the requirements to copper fill or epoxy fill a
microvia?  microvia is via in pad.  Is there an alternative?  

I have a design that requires a fanout of 3.5 mil trace and 3mil airgap
out of a finepitch bga.
