Patent number: 8325490Abstract: Manufacturing circuits with reference plane voids over vias with a strip segment interconnect permits routing critical signal paths over vias, while increasing via insertion capacitance only slightly. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. In order to provide increased routing density, signal paths are routed over the voids, but disruption of the signal paths by the voids is prevented by including a conductive strip through the voids that reduces the coupling to the signal-bearing PTHs and maintains the impedance of the signal path conductor.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sungjun Chun, Anand Haridass, Roger D.

Publication number: 20120298411Abstract: An electronics interconnection system is provided with reduced capacitance between a signal line and the surrounding dielectric material. By using a non-homogenous dielectric, the effective dielectric constant of the material is reduced. This reduction results in less power loss from the signal line to the dielectric material, and therefore reduces the number of buffers needed on the signal line. This increases the speed of the signal, and reduces the power consumed by the interconnection system. The fabrication techniques provided are advantageous because they can be preformed using today's standard IC fabrication techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2011Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: BANPIL PHOTONICS, INC.Inventor: ACHYUT KUMAR DUTTA
