Hi All,
Is there a PCB guru out there who can tell me what is the minimum recommended 
pre-preg thickness for volume manufacturing? I want to increase inter-plane 
capacitance by reducing the pre-preg thicnkess between my power and ground 
planes. Currently we are using a pre-preg thickness of 4mils. I did some 
research and found that pre-preg comes in thicknesses as low as 2mils. Can we 
go as low as 2mils between planes on an FR-4 PCB designed for RoHS compliance 
and still have a board which can be reliably built in high volume? 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Kindest Regards,
Gilles Aminot
