VIPPO is a critical capability for dense BGA breakout and high-performance HDI assembly because it combines via filling, planarization, and copper plating into a plated-over pad structure. This document outlines the process controls, design rules, inspection methods, and reliability checks needed to keep VIPPO structures manufacturable and repeatable.

Contents

  • VIPPO process fundamentals and engineering principles
  • Standard via-in-pad vs. plated-over structures
  • Pad design, microvia dimensions, and stackup planning
  • Laser drilling, filling materials, curing, and leveling
  • Copper plating over filled vias and solder joint reliability
  • X-ray, microsection, electrical testing, and DFM strategy
