David,

As long as you route orthogonally on adjacent signal layers, you should not
have a crosstalk problem at 100MHz. Also, make sure you decouple the power
and ground planes well so return currents can move from one plane layer to
another without major discontinuities.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Layer Stackup

The design I am working has a fairly dense placement. To try minimize my

time in artwork, I would like to add as many routing layers as possible
to 
my layer stackup. I was thinking of using an 18 layer board of Nelco 
4000-13, with the following stackup:
Signal1
GND
Signal2
Signal3
PWR
Signal4
Signal5
GND
Signal6
Signal7
GND
Signal8
Signal9
PWR
Signal10
Signal11
GND
Signal12

The skinniest dielectric thickness is 4 mils, all signal layers are 0.5
Oz 
copper and plane layers are 1 Oz copper. The fastest signals are 100MHz,

with rise times in 500ps range. 
My primary concern is the ratio of 6:12 of  plane layers to signal
layers. 
I usually try to design for  a ratio of about 8:10 or 9:9. I know I will

have to be very careful about crosstalk on adjacent layers, but other
than 
that, what else should I be concerned about?

Thanks
Dave
