A printed circuit board includes a first trace, a second trace, and a first via. The first trace is in a first conductive layer. The second trace is in a second conductive layer. The first via interconnects the first trace and the second trace, and communicates a first signal from the first trace to the second trace through a third conductive layer. The third conductive layer has a higher impedance than the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer.

A method of making printed circuit board vias using a double drilling and plating method is disclosed. A first hole is drilled in a core, the first hole having a first diameter. The first hole is filled and/or plated with an electrically conductive material. A circuit pattern may be formed on one or two conductive layers of the core. A multilayer structure may then be formed including a plurality of cores that also include pre-drilled and plated via holes, wherein at least some of the pre-drilled and plated via holes are aligned with the first hole. A second hole is then drilled within the first hole and the aligned pre-drilled and plated holes, the second hole having a second diameter where the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. A conductive material is then plated to an inner surface of the second hole.
