The presence of hollow fibres in laminates used in printed circuit boards, multichip modulelaminated substrates, and plastic ball grid arrays has a potentially significant impact on reliability.Hollow fibres are vacuous glass filaments in E-glass laminate reinforcements and areseen as a reliability problem since they can provide paths for failure mechanisms such asconductive filament formation. This paper discusses the manufacture of woven fabric laminatesand the cause of hollow fibres. Experiments conducted to assess the occurrence of hollow fibresin laminates are then presented along with the key reliability issues.
