Abstract
A printed circuit board includes a dielectric material, a signal trace on a surface of the dielectric material, a signal layer within the dielectric material, a via including plating, and multiple back drill locations. The plating provides an electrical communication between the signal trace and the signal layer, and the via has a diameter. The back drill locations are along a length of the via beyond the signal layer. A first combined diameter of the back drill locations at a bottom of the back drill locations is equal to the dimeter of the via. A second combined diameter of the back drill locations at a top of the back drill locations is greater than the dimeter of the via.
