All About Vias

Feb. 22, 2021

As designs become more intricate, the manufacturing process becomes more delicate. Learn about vias from a board manufacturer’s perspective.

PCB Designers use Vias to electrically and thermally connect parallel layers of copper on a printed circuit board. Vias are made by coating the walls of drilled holes with copper in an electrochemical plating bath. Additional processing can modify the vias for special purposes such as via-in-pad. Take a deep dive into vias in this whitepaper.
