What is a skip Via?
Skip vias are similar to blind vias in that they allow connections between the top or bottom PCB material layer and an internal layer. A blind via connects to the next PCB layers, while a skip via can connect through multiple layers. These vias need to be filled, either with a conductive or non-conductive filler.
