    Abstract: Embedded vialess bridges are provided. In an implementation, discrete pieces containing numerous conduction lines or wires in a 3-dimensional bridge piece are embedded where needed in a main substrate to provide dense arrays of signal, power, and electrical ground wires below the surface of the main substrate. Vertical conductive risers to reach the surface plane of the main substrate are also included in the discrete piece, for connecting to dies on the surface of the substrate and thereby interconnecting the dies to each other through the dense array of wires in the discrete piece. The discrete piece to be embedded may have parallel planes of conductors at regular intervals within itself, and thus may present a working surface homogeneously covered with the ends of vertical conductors available to connect surface components to each other and to ground and power at many places along the embedded piece.

    Abstract: Flipped radio frequency (RF) and microwave filters and components for compact package assemblies are provided. An example RF filter is constructed by depositing a conductive trace, such as a redistribution layer, onto a flat surface of a substrate, to form an RF filter element. The substrate is vertically mounted on a motherboard, thereby saving dedicated area. Multiple layers of substrate are laminated into a stack and mounted so that the RF filter elements of each layer are in vertical planes with respect to a horizontal motherboard, providing dramatic reduction in size. Deposited conductive traces of an example flipped RF filter stack provide various stub configurations of an RF filter and emulate various distributed filter elements and their configuration geometries. The deposited conductive traces also form other electronic components to be used in conjunction with the RF filter elements. A wirebond or bond via array (BVATM) version provides flipped RF and microwave filters.

    Abstract: Capacitive coupling of integrated circuit die components and other conductive areas is provided. Each component to be coupled has a surface that includes at least one conductive area, such as a metal pad or plate. An ultrathin layer of dielectric is formed on at least one surface to be coupled. When the two components, e.g., one from each die, are permanently contacted together, the ultrathin layer of dielectric remains between the two surfaces, forming a capacitor or capacitive interface between the conductive areas of each respective component. The ultrathin layer of dielectric may be composed of multiple layers of various dielectrics, but in one implementation, the overall thickness is less than approximately 50 nanometers. The capacitance per unit area of the capacitive interface formed depends on the particular dielectric constants κ of the dielectric materials employed in the ultrathin layer and their respective thicknesses. Electrical and grounding connections can be made at the edge of the coupled stack.
