Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided in which a cavity is formed in a support structure, the support structure being operable to support a semiconductor device, disposing at least a portion of a circuit element in the cavity in the support structure, filling the cavity in the support structure with an electrically non-conductive filling material so as to at least partially surround the circuit element with the non-conductive filling material, and electrically connecting the semiconductor device to the circuit element. In an example embodiment, the circuit element is operable to substantially block direct current that is output by the semiconductor device or another semiconductor device.
Abstract:
A computing device has a motherboard circuit substrate having at least one layer of electrical interconnects and a socket arranged to receive a main processor for the computing device, the socket electrically coupled to at least a portion of the layer of electrical interconnects, wherein the circuit substrate has no memory interconnects.
Abstract:
An interposer substrate includes an array of interconnects in the interposer substrate, the array of connectors arranged in accordance with an array of interconnects for a processor on a circuit substrate, at least one conductive trace in the interposer substrate in connection with at least one connector in the array of interconnects, the conductive trace arranged parallel to the interposer substrate such that no electrical connection exists between the connector in the interposer substrate and a corresponding one of the interconnects for the processor on the circuit substrate, and at least one peripheral circuit residing on the interposer substrate in electrical connection with the conductive trace.
