Jerry D. Bolen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods for minimizing the impedance discontinuity between a conductive trace and a component and structures formed thereby
    Patent number: 7034544
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus that minimize the impedance discontinuity between a component and a signal trace is described. The methods and apparatus generally comprise at least one signal trace disposed on a dielectric layer, wherein the signal trace comprises a first width which is wider than a second width, a via connected to the first width of the signal trace, and a component electrically attached to the via, wherein an impedance discontinuity between the signal trace and the component is lowered.
    Type: Grant
