Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure provides example embodiments relating to a package attached to a printed circuit board (PCB). In an embodiment, a structure includes a PCB. The PCB has ball pads arranged in a matrix. Outer ball pads are along one or more outer edges of the matrix, and each of the outer ball pads has a first solder-attach area. Inner ball pads are interior to the matrix, and each of the inner ball pads has a second solder-attach area. The first solder-attach area is larger than the second solder-attach area.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure provides example embodiments relating to a package that may be attached to a printed circuit board (PCB). In an embodiment, a structure includes a package. The package includes one or more dies and metal pads on an exterior surface of the package. At least some of the metal pads are first solder ball pads. The structure further includes pins, and each of the pins is attached to a respective one of the metal pads.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure provides example embodiments relating to a printed circuit board (PCB). In an embodiment, a structure includes a PCB including insulating layers with respective metal layers being disposed therebetween. Each of first layers of the insulating layers includes a first fiberglass content. A second layer of the insulating layers has a second fiberglass content less than the first fiberglass content. For example, in some embodiments, the second insulating layer does not include a fiberglass matrix.
