SAP (Semi-Additive PCB Process) – Top 5 Questions Regarding Stack Up
In a previous blog post, we took a 10,000-foot view and went through a basic introduction to SAP. This Semi-Additive Process is an additional tool in the PCB fabricators toolbox that enables them to provide features sizes for trace width and spacing that are 25 microns, (1 mil) and below depending on the fabricators imaging equipment. This provides much more flexibility to breakout out tight BGA areas and the ability to shrink overall circuit
