  • Patent number: 7011531
    Abstract: A structure and method to establish an electrical connection between a tester and an electrical component. A flexible dielectric layer has a first side and a second side. A through via extends through the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. A blind via is placed in a position that is offset from the through via and extends laterally in a first direction from a section of the first through via to a section of the flexible dielectric layer. The blind via extends in a second direction from the first side of the flexible dielectric layer to a section of the flexible dielectric layer that is between the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. An electrically conductive member extends through the through via and extends into the blind via, thereby filling the through via and the blind via. The electrically conductive member has a first surface and a second surface.

  • Patent number: 6955849
    Abstract: A method for producing small pitch z-axis electrical interconnections in layers of dielectric materials which are applied to printed wiring boards and diverse electronic packages. A method for parallel fabrication of intermediate structures which are subsequently jointed to form a final structure. In addition there is provided a z-interconnected electrical structure, employing dielectric materials such as resin coated copper, employable in the manufacture of diverse type of electronic packages, including printed wiring boards (PWBs), substrates, multi-chip modules and the like.

  • Patent number: 6518516
    Abstract: A multilayered laminate, substructures and associated methods of fabrication are presented. The multilayered laminate includes in sequential order: (a) a first intermediate layer having microvias and conductive lands; (b) a plurality of signal/power plane substructures, wherein a dielectric material of an intervening dielectric layer insulatively separates each pair of successive signal/power plane substructures and (c) a second intermediate layer having microvias and conductive lands.
