What is a Microvia?

Microvias structures can be found in High Density Interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards.  These are structures being defined by the aspect ratio of a hole, which is the ratio of the length or depth of a hole to its preplated diameter.  They are miniscule holes drilled by a laser in multilayer circuit boards to create the connection between layers.
