  • Wafer-level thick film standing-wave clocking
    Patent number: 7012015
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to distribute clock. At least a metal layer is formed to have a standing-wave structure to distribute a clock signal to receiver end points from a clock source such that the receiver end points are substantially electrically equivalent with respect to the clock source. The metal layer is embedded in dielectric layers made of thick film using a wafer-level thick film (WLTF) process.
