A circuit board and a method for fabricating a circuit board are provided. The circuit board includes a dielectric core comprising a first surface and a second surface and a conductive layer comprising a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of the conductive layer is coupled to the second surface of the dielectric core. A first region of the second surface of the conductive layer is smooth and a second region of the second surface of the conductive layer is rough. The first region of the second surface of the conductive layer is operable to support high speed signaling and the second region of the second surface of the conductive layer is operable to support non-high speed signaling.
