  • Advanced grounding scheme
    Patent number: 9585240
    Abstract: A laminate substrate may include a slug positioned within a cavity of a laminate core. The laminate substrate may have routing layers on either side of the laminate core, at least one of which is coplanar with an outer side of the slug. A capping layer may then be applied to the laminate substrate which is directly coupled with the slug and the routing layer. In embodiments, a dielectric layer may be coupled with the capping layer, and an additional routing layer may be coupled with the dielectric layer. Therefore, the routing layer may be an “inner” routing layer that is coplanar with, and coupled with, the slug.
