What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access?

What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? When we talk about packaging, substrate-like PCBs, and fine-line PCBs, we are collectively referencing an area where PCB fabrication processing is pushing to the limit. This area is ultra-HDI, where the typical features in a PCB are scaled down to very small values. These more advanced capabilities enable traditional design practices with larger BGAs, but instead scaled into very fine pitches (0.3 mm) requiring tight spacing and linewidth. These Read Article
