Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for forming a printed circuit board or other panel in which an array of vias are arranged in a desired connection grid within one or more layers of the board and then the board and vias are cut to form an edge of the board where a surface of the vias is exposed. The board may be orthogonally mounted on its edge to another thin circuit board or aperture sheet with the exposed surface of each via directly connected to such other board or sheet.

A first wiring pattern and a second ground layer are formed on one surface of a base insulating layer, and a second wiring pattern and a first ground layer are formed on the other surface of the base insulating layer. A metal plating layer connecting the first and second wiring patterns to each other is formed in a through hole of the base insulating layer. A cover insulating layer is formed on the other surface of the base insulating layer so as to cover the first ground layer and the second wiring pattern and has a through hole on an area opposite to a part of the first wiring pattern. A high dielectric insulator is formed in the through hole of the cover insulating layer.

Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for controlled impedance at transitional via sites using barrel inductance minimization are provided. In one embodiment, one or more sidewalls of a via barrel are preferably processed such that conductive material disposed thereon is selectively removed thereby forming an inner-via trace connecting one or more conductive traces and/or pads on a first substrate layer to one or more conductive traces and/or pads on a second substrate layer. Removal of conductive material from a sidewall of the via barrel is done in a manner such that an inner-via trace traveling from a first surface to a second surface of one or more substrate layers possesses at least one electrical characteristic substantially approximating a corresponding electrical characteristic of those structures to which the inner-via trace is connected.
