October Issue of Design007 Magazine: Partial HDI
October 8, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Partial HDI refers to the targeted use of HDI, usually on one section of one layer of the board. It offers designers an avenue for escape routing from BGAs with a pitch of .5 mm or less, when a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is impossible. With HDI relegated to one layer of the board, fabricators can avoid the expense of sequential lamination cycles.
In the October issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away. But you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

Global PCB Connections: The Future of HDI PCBs
01/16/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsHigh-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards (PCBs) transform modern electronics by providing increased functionality, reduced sizes, and enhanced performance in complex designs. They do so by using advanced techniques, such as finer line and space definitions, microvias, and additional board layers. Specialized via structures—namely blind, buried, and stacked vias—offer complex routing while conserving space. This allows for the development of highly compact electronic devices. This article delves into HDI PCB technology, the function and benefits of blind, buried, and stacked vias, and their impact on PCB performance and design.
