Organic laminate stack ups are disclosed for a variety of applications, including high frequency RF applications. One or more inner core layers may be disposed between outer layers along with bondply or prepreg layers as needed. Discrete devices, including surface mount components and flip chips, may be embedded within the organic laminate stack up structures. The embedding of the discrete devices, which may be active or passive devices, may be in the form of a layer of bondply or prepreg encapsulating the discrete devices. In addition or in the alternative, cavities may be formed in at least the outer layers for housing discrete devices, which include surface mount components, flip chips, and wire bonded integrated circuits. A variety of caps may be utilized to seal the cavities. Further, shielding may be provided for the organic laminate stack up structure, including through a wall of vias or a plated trench cut along at least one side of the stack up structure. Each stack up structure may be packaged in a variety of ways, including as a surface mount component, ball grid array, or land grid array.

The present invention includes methods for making liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) interconnect structures using a high temperature and low temperature single sided LCP, where both the high and low temperature LCP are provided with a z-axis connection. The single sided conductive layer is a bus layer to form z-axis conductive stud within the high and low temperature LCP. High and low temperature LCP layers are etched or built up to form circuit patterns and subsequently bonded together to form final multilayer circuit pattern where the low temperature LCP melts to form both dielectric to dielectric bond to high temperature LCP circuit layer, and dielectric to conductive bond.

The present invention provides all organic fully-packaged miniature bandpass filters, baluns, diplexers, multiplexers, couplers and a combination of the above manufactured using liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and other multilayer polymer based substrates. These devices are manufactured using one or more LCP layers having integrated passive components formed thereon to provide the density and performance necessary for multi-band wireless devices. In the designs involving multiple LCP layers, the LCP layers arc separated by prepeg layers. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, coplanar waveguide, hybrid stripline/coplanar waveguide and/or microstrip topologies are utilized to form the integrated passive components, and the devices can be mass produced on large area panels at least 18 inches by 12 inches with line widths smaller than 10 um.

The present invention includes an organic device that can be integrated in a multilayer board made of organic material. The passive devices can be integrally fabricated on a circuit board in either surface mount device (SMD) or ball grid array (BGA) form. Alternatively, the passive device can be constructed in a stand alone SMD or BGA/chip scale package (CSP) form to make it mountable on a multilayer board, ceramic carrier or silicon platform in the form of an integrated passive device. The passive device includes side shielding on two sides in the SMD form and four sides in the BGA/CSP form. The side shielding can be external or in-built.

The present invention includes methods for making liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) interconnect structures using a high temperature and low temperature single sided liquid crystalline polymer LCP where both the high and low temperature LCP are drilled to form a z-axis connection. The single sided conductive layer is a bus layer to form z axis conductive stud within the high and low temperature LCP, followed by a metallic capping layer of the stud that serves as the bonding metal between the conductive interconnects to form the z-axis connection. High and low temperature LCP layers are etched or built up to form circuit patterns and subsequently bonded together to form final multilayer circuit pattern where the low temperature LCP melts to form both dielectric to dielectric bond to high temperature LCP circuit layer, and dielectric to conductive bond, whereas metal to metal bonding occurs with high temperature metal capping layer bonding to conductive metal layer.

The present invention provides for low cost discrete inductor devices in an all organic platform. The inductor devices can utilize virtually any organic material that provides the desired properties, such as liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) or polyphenyl ether (PPE), in a multilayer structure, wherein the organic materials have low moisture uptake and good temperature stability. Each layer may be metalized and selectively interconnected by vias formed in respective layers so as to form winding or coiled inductors. The inductor devices may advantageously include external shielding formed by metalizing the side walls and top surface of the inductor devices on in-built shielding achieved by the utilization of the hybrid co-planar waveguide topologies. The inductor devices can be configured for either ball grid array (BGA)/chip scale package (CSP) or surface mount device (SMD) mounting to circuit boards.
