Hi! Michael: Thank you for your suggestion. It seems that copper fill that you and several other guys mentioned does not applied in my board. For external layers, you can implement the copper ring or, as other people suggested, using copper fill but grounded it. In my case, I have a high-layer count (>20), big board (about 40x60 cm) and also thin dielectrics. The main problem is that certain area on internal layers (e.g., under DC converter) is void of copper and that cause lamination voids and warpage.
Any suggestions on this ?
