The Purpose of Resin-filled Via Processing
The purpose of resin-filled via processing is to prevent solder from flowing into the vias, enhance the reliability of the board, and meet special process requirements such as high-density interconnects (HDI).
Main Features
- Resin Plugged Vias: Resin is filled into the vias (usually blind, buried, or through vias), cured, and surface-treated to ensure there are no voids inside the holes.
- Smooth Surface: After resin filling, grinding and copper plating can be performed to ensure a flat pad surface, making it suitable for mounting fine-pitch packages such as BGA and CSP.
- Improved Reliability: Prevents issues such as bubbles or solder balls during soldering, increasing conduction reliability and mechanical strength.
Main Applications
- High-density interconnect PCBs (HDI PCB).
- Multilayer boards that require blind/buried vias and via plugging designs.
- PCB designs for high-reliability, fine-pitch components (such as BGA and CSP packages).
- Special requirements to prevent solder paste from penetrating into the vias.
Differences from Ordinary Vias
- Ordinary vias are usually empty and serve only for electrical connection, without plugging treatment.
- Resin-filled via PCBs are filled with resin, meeting higher process and assembly requirements.
