Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a 4-layer board instead of a 2-layer board?
A 4-layer board is recommended when you have high-density components, high-speed signals requiring impedance control, or when you need better EMI performance. The internal ground and power planes provide a clean return path for signals and excellent shielding.
What is the difference between a blind via and a buried via?
A blind via connects an outer layer to one or more inner layers but does not go through the entire board. A buried via connects only inner layers and is not visible from the outside. Both are used in high-density interconnect (HDI) designs to save space but they increase fabrication cost.
What kind of placement assistance is provided?
We offer comprehensive placement support including resume building, mock interviews with industry experts, and exclusive access to our network of over 200 hiring partners in the hardware and electronics industry. Our goal is to not just teach you, but to ensure you land your dream job.
