Abstract: Laminated interposers and packages, with embedded trace interconnects are provided. An example process for making an interposer or package achieves vertical conductive vias in the package by depositing conductive traces on multiple wafers or panes, then laminating these substrates into a stack, thereby embedding the conductive traces. The laminated stack is sliced to dimensions of an interposer or electronic package. A side of the sliced stack is then used as the top of the interposer or package, rendering some of the horizontally laid traces into vertical conductive vias. The interposer or package can be finished or developed by adding redistribution layers on the top and bottom surfaces, and active and passive components. Electronic components can also be embedded in the laminated stack. Some of the stack layers can be active dies, such as memory controllers, memory storage arrays, and processors, to form a memory subsystem or self-contained computing device.

Abstract: A system for prototyping electrical circuits, as well as creating production circuits, without using solder. Stand-in electrical components 110a are placed on a carrier 100a and scanned 310. From the resulting data, a machine tool or laser ablation system 410 then creates a negative master 420a with aperture(s) 530 into which production components 810 are placed and secured. Component leads 820 or packages are encapsulated with electrically insulating material 910 with vias 1030a exposing the leads. Traces 1040 connect appropriate leads forming a circuit sub-assembly 1000 which can serve as a basis for a circuit assembly formed through a reverse-interconnection process.

Abstract: A memory architecture includes a first substrate containing multiple memory devices and a first channel portion extending across the first substrate. The architecture further includes a second substrate containing multiple memory devices and a second channel portion extending across the second substrate. A connector couples the first channel portion to the second channel portion to form a single channel. The connector includes a first slot that receives an edge of the first substrate and a second slot that receives an edge of the second substrate. Another connector has a pair of slots that receive opposite edges of the first and second substrates. The channel portions extend across the substrates in a substantially linear path. Each channel portion includes multiple conductors having lengths that are approximately equal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrical connector having an integrated bus to provide a signal path having a properly matched impedance. The electrical connector includes a housing formed with a number of slots adapted to receive a module. Electrical contacts are placed between adjacent slots in the electrical connector, such that the combination of electrical contacts and inserted modules forms the integrated bus. Since inter-slot connections are not made through the motherboard, the noted impedance discontinuities do not arise. The electrical contacts generally include electrical signal contacts and ground contacts generally formed within the housing of the electrical connector but include metal contacts which extend into adjacent slots to form a portion of the integrated bus. The plurality of modules thus connected may include a termination module, and/or a dummy module.
