Abstract: A method of forming a capacitive substrate in which first and second conductors are formed opposite a dielectric, with one of these electrically coupled to a thru-hole connection. Each functions as an electrode for the resulting capacitor. The substrate is then adapted for being incorporated within a larger structure to form a circuitized substrate such as a printed circuit board or a chip carrier. Additional capacitors are also possible.

Abstract: A capacitive substrate and method of making same in which first and second glass layers are used. A first conductor is formed on a first of the glass layers and a capacitive dielectric material is positioned over the conductor. The second conductor is then positioned on the capacitive dielectric and the second glass layer positioned over the second conductor. Conductive thru-holes are formed to couple to the first and second conductors, respectively, such that the conductors and capacitive dielectric material form a capacitor when the capacitive substrate is in operation.

Abstract: A material for use as part of an internal resistor within a circuitized substrate includes a polymer resin and a quantity of nano-powders including a mixture of at least one metal component and at least one ceramic component. The ceramic component may be a ferroelectric ceramic and/or a high surface area ceramic and/or a transparent oxide and/or a dope manganite. Alternatively, the material will include the polymer resin and nano-powders, with the nano-powders comprising at least one metal coated ceramic and/or at least one oxide coated metal component. A circuitized substrate adapted for using such a material and resistor therein and a method of making such a substrate are also provided. An electrical assembly (substrate and at least one electrical component) and an information handling system (e.g., personal computer) are also provided.
