摘要:
An electrically optimized and structurally protected micro via structure for high speed signals in multilayer interconnection substrates is provided. The via structure eliminates the overlap of a contact with the reference planes to thereby reduce the via capacitance and thus, the via impedance mismatch in the via structure. As a result, the via structure is electrically optimized. The via structure further comprises one or more floating support members placed in close proximity to the via within a via clearance area between the via and the reference planes. The floating support members are “floating” in the sense that they are not in electrical contact with either the via or the reference planes. Thus, they are not provided for purposes of signal propagation but only for structural support. The floating support members may be connected to one another by way of one or more microvia structures.

A system to improve core package connections may include ball grid array pads, and a ball grid array. The system may also include connection members of the ball grid array conductively connected to respective ball grid array pads. The system may further include magnetic underfill positioned adjacent at least some of the connection members and respective ball grid array pads to increase respective connection members' inductance.

One or more decoupling capacitors are coupled to a low inductance mount that is connected to the bottom layer of a printed circuit board (PCB) on which a semiconductor module is mounted. The low inductance mount includes a magnetic planar structure with vias that are coupled to the one or more decoupling capacitors and to like vias positioned on the PCB.

A method and apparatus for probing a circuit board, is provided. One implementation involves a signal probe including a tip having a plurality of strands of flexible conductive material surrounding the tip, the strands extending out from the tip to provide multiple points of contact with the rim of a via or a conductive barrel of the via when the tip is inserted into the via, the probe tip and probe strands being made of same conductive material; such that aligning the signal probe with the via for engaging the probe tip strands with the via, and inserting the tip into the via, causes bending and flexing of the strands for making contact with a conductor on a top rim of the barrel and inside an inner wall of the barrel.
摘要:
A device and/or apparatus having plated through holes (PTHs) which are coated to reduce impedance discontinuity in electronic packages. PTH vias are imbedded in the core of a printed circuit board comprising a core layer, a plurality of buildup layers, a plurality of micro-vias, and a plurality of traces. Traces electrically interconnect each of the micro-vias to PTH vias, forming an electrically conductive path. PTHs are coated with a magnetic metal material, such as nickel, to increase the internal and external conductance of the PTHs, thereby providing decreased impedance discontinuity of the signals in electronic packages.
