Dear Experts, In our design we are using 400-pin 0.5mm BGA and board size is 66mm x 40mm and the board thickness is 1 mm (Standard form factor). We are planing to go with 10-layer stackup. We can use blind via from L1 to L2. Considering the PCB Fab cost the blind via from L1 to L3 is not allowed in our design. So we are planning to go withe below stackup. Stackup -------- L1 --- Top (Signal/ Component) L2 --- Signal L3 --- Plane (GND) L4 --- Signal L5 --- Plane (VCC1) L6 --- Plane (GND) L7 --- Signal L8 --- Plane (VCC2) L9 --- Signal L10 --- Bottom (Signal / Component) In this stackup, to meet single-ended 50 ohm impedance requirement the minimum trace width is given 3 mils in Layer L4 and L7. Our PCB fabricator says that Using 3/3 all over the board is going to be more expensive.It will create yield issues.It could increase the cost 15-20% depending on yields. So we would like to know that 10-layer stackup is practically recommended for 1 mm thickness board? Thanks in Advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
