| 20090096082 | High speed electrical interconnects and method of manufacturing thereof - A high speed electrical interconnection system is provided. The interconnection system comprises one or more electrical signal lines, or differential pairs of signal lines, and an inhomogeneous dielectric system. The dielectric system further comprises a homogeneous dielectric layer interposed between the electrical signal lines, and electrical conducting planes including a periodic array etched in the conducting material of the conducting plane. The inhomogeneous dielectric system exhibits a lower dielectric constant as compared to the dielectric constant of the homogeneous dielectric layer, resulting in lower microwave loss, reduced signal propagation delay, reduced signal skew, and increased signal bandwidth. The interconnection system may be implemented for connecting one or more high speed electron elements on-chip, off-chip, chip-chip connection on multilayer printed circuit boards, high speed die-package, high speed connectors, and high speed electric cables. | 04-16-2009 |
