  • Patent number: 6943108
    Abstract: An interposer, located between an integrated circuit having power, ground and signal connections and a ceramic substrate having power, ground and signal connections, that includes an oxide layer formed on a polished surface of a silicon substrate, a thin film dielectric capacitor formed on the oxide layer, a plurality of metallized that electrically connect to either of the electrodes of the thin film dielectric capacitor, and vias than conduct power, ground and signals between a the ceramic substrate and the integrated circuit. The interposer connects the metallized vias to the integrated circuit by solder connections and also connects the vias conducting power, ground and signals from the ceramic substrate to the interposer by solder connections.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5655209
    Abstract: Process for producing multilayer ceramic substrates using greensheet technology and thin dielectric ceramic greensheets for miniaturization purposes. The process avoids the screening of the thin greensheets by forming self-supporting fusible particulate metal electrode layers, interposing them with the thin greensheets and sintering the assembly to form the multilayer substrates such as integrated capacitors.
