  • Patent number: 6974722
    Abstract: A jogging structure for translating wiring connections from points in a first grid to corresponding points in a second grid in a chip carrier module is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the structure includes a first translation layer, coupled to the first grid, the first translation layer translating the first grid in an x-axis direction. A second translation layer is coupled to the first translation layer, the second translation layer for translating said wiring connections from the first grid in a y-axis direction, the y-axis direction being orthogonal to the x-axis direction. The second translation layer is further coupled to the second grid.

  • Patent number: 6469375
    Abstract: A three-dimensional memory module in a repetitively used pedestal connector provides signal paths unique and common to the module at its level and signal paths from the level below unique to and common to modules at levels above. In order to provide a unique signal path from a substrate to each memory module, while using identical pedestal connectors at each level, signal lines are skewed from where they enter the bottom surface of the pedestal connector to where they exit the top surface. For example, each input in a line of inputs is connected to a matching line of outputs, but with a shift of one position between input and output.

  • Patent number: 6442041
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multilayer electronics packaging structure, especially for use in a multi chip module. By forming an overlap of signal conductors by the respective mesh conductors, an improved shielding effect is achieved and coupling between signal conductors is reduced. By increasing the via punch pitch such that multiple wiring channels are formed between adjacent vias, wirability is improved and the number of signal distribution layers may be reduced. The new structure thus shows improved electrical properties over the state-of-the-art structures, combined with a cost reduction of about 35%.

  • Patent number: 6043724
    Abstract: Described is a novel implementation of a medium and high frequency on-module (off-chip)/on-chip power noise filter for power noise sensitive circuits. To achieve this, a second order low-pass approach is used. The first stage capacitor is located on-module (off-chip), and the second stage capacitor is implemented on-chip.

  • Patent number: 5914533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer module 20 for packaging of at least one electronic component, such as the integrated circuit chips 21, 22. The module 20 comprises a thickfilm structure and a thinfilm structure. The thinfilm structure provides an interface between the electronic components and the thickfilm structure. The thinfilm structure comprises a first powerplane and a redistribution wiring structure. The topmost layer of conductors of the thickfilm structure is a second powerplane so that an electrical structure approaching a triplate structure is realized.

  • Patent number: 4718039
    Abstract: A dual ported buffer memory for a hierarchical memory, cmprising an addressable memory array for multi-bit words and a multi-bit register. Data is transferred a word at a time between the memory array and a multi-bit bus to a higher level in the memory system and between the memory array and the register. Data is transferred a bit at a time between the register and a single serial line. Concurrent operations are possible for transfers between the memory array and the parallel bus and between the register and the serial line.
