Via and/or Wrapped Connections

In any circuit medium, vias are a great advantage to the designer.  However, the tendency to overpopulate ground areas is a temptation obvious in many designs.  Critical to hard substrate manufacturing is the careful consideration of via quantity and location.  While aiding the performance of the design, poorly placed vias can degrade yield due to reduced durability of the substrate in manufacturing.  DITF CAD services can optimize your design for your electrical need balanced with manufacturing enhancements.  One method of enhancing a design which has developed into a significant advantage to designers is the use of the filled via.  DITF uses the industry preferred solid Cu and Au process as opposed to the less-desirable glass/metal paste method used by other companies.
