Hi All, I have two questions for you all, 1) Instead of backdrilling can we reduce the via stub by changing the routing layer near to the bottom layers? say we have 16 layer board and signals are routed in layer 4, instead of backdrilling from bottom to layer 5 shall we change the signal routing to layer 14 or 15? How much impact it will create on high speed signals with difference to backdrilling? does the long via create inductance effect? 2) It is mentioned to enlarge the antipad size of signal via for better signal quality, why?
