Circuit structures and methods of fabrication are provided for facilitating implementing a complete electronic system in a compact package. The circuit structure includes, in one embodiment, a chips-first multichip base layer with conductive structures extending therethrough. An interconnect layer is disposed over the front surface of the multichip layer and includes interconnect metallization electrically connected to contact pads of the chips and to conductive structures extending through the structural material. A redistribution layer, disposed over the back surface of the multichip layer, includes a redistribution metallization also electrically connected to conductive structures extending through the structural material. Input / output contacts are arrayed over the redistribution layer, including over the lower surfaces of at least some integrated circuit chips within the multichip layer, and are electrically connected through the redistribution metallization, conductive structures, and interconnect metallization to contact pads of the integrated circuit chips of the multichip layer.

A midplane has a first side to which contact ends of a first differential connector are connected and a second side opposite the first side to which contact ends of a second differential connector are connected. The midplane includes a plurality of vias extending from the first side to the second side, with the vias providing first signal launches on the first side and second signal launches on the second side. The first signal launches are provided in a plurality of rows, with each row having first signal launches along a first line and first signal launches along a second line substantially parallel to the first line. The second signal launches are provided in a plurality of columns, with each column having second signal launches along a third line and second signal launches along a fourth line substantially parallel to the third line.

A composite interposer for providing power and signal connections between an integrated circuit chip or chips and a substrate. The interposer includes a signal core formed from a conductive power / ground plane positioned between two dielectric layers. A method for fabricating a composite interposer comprising disposing a silicon layer on a substrate, and selectively etching the silicon layer down to the substrate to develop silicon openings with a silicon profile, and to expose part of the substrate. Vias are formed through the exposed part of the substrate. The method additionally includes filling the vias and the silicon openings with a filler material (e.g., a high-aspect-ratio-capable photodefinable epoxy polymer) to form filled silicon openings and filled vias, forming first openings through the filled silicon openings and through the filled vias, forming second opening through filler material to expose semiconductor devices on the silicon layer, and interconnecting electrically, through the first openings and through the second openings, the exposed semiconductor devices with pads disposed against a bottom of the substrate.

An electrical connector with electrically lossy materials bridging ground members. The lossy conductive members may be formed by filling a settable binder with conductive particles, allowing the partially conductive members to be formed through an insert molding process. Connectors assembled from wafers that contain signal conductors held within an insulative housing may incorporate lossy conductive members by having filled thermal plastic molded onto the insulatative housing. The lossy conductive members may be used in conjunction with magnetically lossy materials. The lossy conductive members reduce ground system do resonance within the connector, thereby increasing the high frequency performance of the connector.

A low-EMI circuit which realizes a high mounting density by converting the potential fluctuation off a power supply layer with respect to a ground layer which occurs on switching an IC device etc., into Joule's heat in the substrate without using any parts as a countermeasure against the EMI. Its structure, a circuit board using it, and a method of manufacturing the circuit board are also disclosed. Parallel plate lines in which the Q-value of the stray capacitance between solid layers viewed from the power supply layer and ground layer is equivalently reduced and which are matchedly terminated by forming a structure in which a resistor (resistor layer) and another ground layer are provided in addition to the power supply layer and the ground layer on a multilayered circuit board. A closed shield structure is also disclosed. This invention can remarkably suppress unwanted radiation by absorbing the potential fluctuation (resonance) which occurs in a power supply loop by equivalently reducing the Q-value of the stray capacitance, absorbing the standing wave by the parallel plate lines matchedly terminated and, closing and shielding the parallel plate lines.

In the high-frequency module of the present invention, an insulating resin is formed so as to seal a high-frequency semiconductor element mounted on a surface of a substrate and further to seal electronic components. Furthermore, a metal thin film is formed on the surface of the insulating resin. This metal thin film provides an electromagnetic wave shielding effect.

A touch sensor device is provided that uses a flexible circuit substrate to provide an improved input device. Specifically, the present invention uses a touch sensor controller affixed to the flexible circuit substrate, which is coupled to a sensor component to provide a flexible, reliable and cost effective touch sensor suitable for a wide variety of applications. In one embodiment the touch sensor uses a flexible circuit substrate that provides relatively high temperature resistance. This allows the touch sensor controller to be affixed using reliable techniques, such as various types of soldering. The sensor component can comprise a relatively low-temperature-resistant substrate that can provide a cost effective solution. Taken together, this embodiment of the touch sensor provides reliability and flexibility at relatively low cost.

A printed circuit board (PCB) via, providing a conductor extending vertically between microstrip or stripline conductors formed on separate layers of a PCB, includes a conductive pad surrounding the conductor and embedded within the PCB between those PCB layers. The pad's shunt capacitance and the magnitudes of capacitances of other portions of the via are sized relative to the conductor's inherent inductance to optimize frequency response characteristics of the via.
