Lee,
What is on your list of good enough weaves? Are those provide much better
results than 2116? The nicer weaves are not as available as 2116, i am talking
about series production of networking and computing boards, not test boards.
Do you expect the skew problem to be resolved mainly by glass style selection?

I have had severe skew problems with 2116 at 10 Gb/S. It is not on my list
of good weaves.

Hello,
First getting on this topic of spread glass, everyone is looking for the
miracle spread that has no skew issues.
You can choose the glass style as a number, or to take it further and choose
a material manufacturer who promises mechanical spread or square wave or
other features too.
In reality the traditional glass styles (106, 1080) were kind of "bad",
newer more denser weaves (2116, 1501) are "better", but there is no
"excellent" fabric.
I just try to use 2116 for layers with 2Gig+ signals. So you specify glass
style, and material name, that's mainly what you can do about it, before
building the stackup for design and manufacturing.
You need to have the detailed datasheets listing all available glass styles
of your chosen material. Get glass fabric photos from your material vendor
(like Bill from NanYa), so you can see how much difference those different
fabrics (numbers) have in covered/uncovered areas. The board area consists
of "no glass", "1-layer glass", "2-layer glass" parts. If you imagine a
simple cloth fabric, you would know what I mean. The best material has the
smallest percentage of "no glass" area and the largest percentage of
"2-layer glass" area, that would be the most uniform (logically thinking).
"If not, how can I guarantee that the right type of weave was indeed
selected when building my board?"
- instead of "they" building your stackup and board, you have to determine
the stackup before they manufacture it. If you just let fabs and who knows
who manufacture whatever for your board designs, then many things can go
wrong.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Glass Weave effects and Cross sectioning
Hi experts,
I've been reading much on glass weave effects and its contribution on skew.
If I encounter a skew problem, can I say anything on weave type ,whether it
is mechanically spread or not by doing a cross section of my traces?
If not, how can I guarantee that the right type of weave was indeed selected
when building my board?
Thank you all!
