Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to increase rigidity of printed circuit boards are disclosed. An apparatus includes a stack of insulative layers. The stack includes a first face and a second face opposite the first face. The apparatus further includes a plurality of conductive layers. Ones of the conductive layers between adjacent ones of the insulative layers. The apparatus also includes a metal stiffener extending along a perimeter of a first one of the insulative layers. The metal stiffener has a thickness measured in a direction perpendicular to the first face. The thickness is less than a distance between the first and second faces.

Abstract: An electronic device may be a first package. The first package may include a first substrate having a first mounting surface. A first die may be coupled to the first mounting surface. A first interconnect region may be laterally spaced from the first die. The first package may be interconnected with a second package. The second package may include a second die coupled to a second mounting surface. Interconnection of the first package with the second package may establish one or more electrical communication pathways between the first package and the second package. The interconnection of the first package with the second package may interconnect the first die with the second die such that the first die and second die are in communication only through the one or more electrical communication pathways.

Abstract: Semiconductor packages and a method of forming a semiconductor package are described. The semiconductor package has a foundation layer mounted on a motherboard. The semiconductor package also includes a hole in motherboard (HiMB) that is formed in the motherboard. The semiconductor package has one or more capacitors mounted on an electrical shield. The electrical shield may be embedded in the HiMB of the motherboard. Accordingly, the semiconductor package has capacitors vertically embedded between the electrical shield and the HiMB of the motherboard. The semiconductor package may also have one or more HiMB sidewalls formed on the HiMB, where each of the one or more HiMB sidewalls includes at least one or more plated through holes (PTHs) with an exposed layer. The PTHs may be electrically coupled to the capacitors as the capacitors are vertically embedded between the electrical shield sidewalls and the HiMB sidewalls (i.e., three-dimensional (3D) capacitors).

Abstract: Apparatus and method for providing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for removable engagement with a printed circuit board (PCB). A shaped electrically conductive member has a substantially planar member portion with multiple lateral member edges. The sidewalls are disposed at respective lateral member edges and are substantially orthogonal to the substantially planar member portion. At least one of the sidewalls includes at least one first snap-fit latching feature to engage a respective complementary second snap-fit latching feature disposed at one or more of multiple peripheral portions of a PCB.
