A microelectronic package having integrated circuits is provided. The microelectronic package includes multiple dielectric laminate layers, copper circuitry between the dielectric laminate layers where the copper circuitry includes circuit traces, and ball grid arrays/land grid arrays operatively connected to the copper circuitry such that conduction occurs. Further, proximate to the connection of the copper circuitry and the ball grid arrays/land grid arrays, a protective copper tongue is below an extension of the circuit traces, such that the protective copper tongue prevents the circuit traces from being affected by cracking propagated in the dielectric laminate layers or the ball grid arrays/land grid arrays.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are taught for blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves in parallel-plate waveguide (PPW) structures. Periodic arrays of resonant vias are used to create broadband high frequency stop bands in the PPW, while permitting DC and low frequency waves to propagate. Particular embodiments include clusters of small vias that effectively function as one large via, thereby increasing stop band bandwidth and maximizing parallel plate capacitance. Cluster vias can be configured to additionally provide a shielded and impedance matched route within the interior area of the cluster through which signal vias can connect transmission lines disposed in planes lying above and below the PPW. Important applications include electromagnetic noise reduction in layered electronic devices such as circuit boards, ceramic modules, and semiconductor chips.

An apparatus generates design information on a via hole that passes through predetermined layers of a multilayer wiring board, by storing information on at least one of a shape and a size of a land to be provided around the via hole. When designing a via hole that passes through a plurality of internal layers of the wiring board, the land information for an internal layer is applied to each internal layer through which the via hole passes.
