I'm regularly working with <100um track and gap and up to 6 layers. The problem lies with whether your PCB mfgr can reliably produce at these geometries and keep registration - especially of the soldermask. A solder splash at this level could need a microscope to be seen - unless you watch for the glow at power-on :-). Of course I'm speaking of 3-5V power and signal. If your voltages are higher eg mains, then you'll have to keep you gaps larger to prevent air breakdown and arcing from occurring. ----------------------------------------------------- John Walshe walshej@nmrc.ucc.ie National Microelectronics Research Centre, Prospect Row, Cork, Ireland.
