    Hi Isagani,


    Thank you for reaching out to Intel FPGA Community.


    For your question, as what I checked with the internal team, it is confirm that the difference seen in the appearance is due to the different substrates used for DC 2043 and DC 2201. However, both are qualified substrates.


    DC 2201 is using old selective gold process that’s why we are seeing more traces on the bottom site. You do not have to worry on the difference you seen here.
