PCBBUY, a leading global PCB manufacturer, is proud to offer cutting-edge HDI PCB solutions tailored to meet the most demanding requirements. In this guide, we outline the full spectrum of PCBBUY's HDI capabilities, step-by-step processes, and the engineering standards we maintain to ensure superior quality.

1. HDI PCB Material Selection

At PCBBUY, we use industry-proven materials like FR-4 for standard HDI builds, while also offering high-Tg, halogen-free options for high-performance applications. Customized dielectric materials are also available based on impedance or CTI needs.

2. HDI Layer Count and Stack-Up Options

From basic 1+N+1 to more advanced 2+N+2 constructions, PCBBUY supports multi-layer HDI PCB builds. Our engineers help you optimize layer configurations for signal integrity, cost, and thermal reliability.

3. Advanced Construction Types

Our HDI stack-ups are engineered for high-density interconnects using buried and blind vias. For finer vias (≤0.3mm), we use electroplating filling processes to ensure signal continuity and mechanical reliability.

4. Trace Width Capabilities

PCBBUY leverages advanced imaging and etching technology to achieve minimum 2mil line/space designs. This enables complex routing for high-speed and RF circuits in HDI designs.

5. Blind Via Technology

Our blind via drilling capabilities include high-precision laser and mechanical processes. All via geometries are reviewed and validated before fabrication to ensure manufacturability and reliability.

6. Hole Size and Registration

With advanced CNC and laser drills, PCBBUY achieves micro-drilling tolerances ideal for stacked via and via-in-pad structures.

7. Hole Copper Thickness

Ensuring sufficient copper thickness in vias is crucial for conductivity and reliability. PCBBUY uses tightly controlled plating parameters to ensure IPC standards are met.

8. Via Electroplating Process

Using advanced electroplating systems, we fill microvias with copper to guarantee structural strength and thermal reliability. This is especially important for stacked or staggered vias in multi-order HDI designs.
