Hi Jayasuryan, for PCB vendors "Impedance controlled" is a matter of knowledge and processing tolerances. For a regular PCB, the vendor will only guarantee tracewidth and copperweight in a certain tolerance band. These factors are not anough to ensure proper impedance. For Impedance Controlled PCBs the vendor needs to understand his processes and the materials he uses. He needs to adjust the tracewidth and/or stack to guarantee proper impedance. Geometrically, the commonly used 10% Impedance tolerance is exactly the 10% etching tolerance, thus impedance control doesn't necessarily need more accurate etching, but the correct tracewidth isn't always supplied by the PCB designer, thus the PCB vendor has to check and adjust.

Certainly that should work. If the PCB fabricator won't guaranty the impedance, you need to understand why. I would think that they don't have good control over their processes.
