  • Patent number: 6713684
    Abstract: A chip interface assembly and method of assembling a chip interface provide enhanced performance. The chip interface assembly includes a semiconductor package and a socket. The semiconductor package has a female contact architecture, where the female contact architecture is mated with a male contact architecture of the socket. By reversing the traditional male/female arrangement of conventional interconnection interfaces, difficulties associated with signaling throughput, clearance, hardware complexity and electrical losses can be obviated.

  • Patent number: 6561820
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a conductive plate for a socket. The conductive plate includes a plurality of openings. The conductive plate is electrically connected to ground and is contained within a socket that may receive an electronic package. The openings allow pins from the electronic package to pass through to contacts in the socket. The diameter of each opening is customizable to produce desired impedance between the electronic package pin inserted in the contact and the conductive plate. Impedance discontinuity seen by signals passing through the socket from the electronic package pins is reduced. The electronic plate may contain one or more pins insertable into contacts in the socket where the contacts provide the electrical connection to ground.
