An integrated circuit including a die, a power terminal and a ground terminal all mounted onto a substrate. The power terminal including a body and a first extension projecting from the body, and the ground terminal including a body and a second extension projecting from the body. The second extension on the ground terminal being adjacent to the first extension on the power terminal to offset inductance that is generated by supplying current to the die through the power terminal.

Power/ground configuration for low impedance integrated circuit

An electronic package includes an IC, such as a die, mounted onto one side of a thin interposer and a pin carrier mounted to an opposing side of the interposer. The pin carrier includes a cavity underneath the die. The cavity allows capacitors, or other electronic components, to be mounted against the interposer beneath the die. The cavity in the pin carrier is filled with an encapsulant to mechanically support the thin interposer in the area of the cavity during operation of an electronic system that includes the package.

Mechanical support system for a thin package

The present invention provides a circuit board with a plated-through hole, wherein a first end of the plated-through hole is electrically attached to a cap formed of conductive material. One or more surface pads terminate on a surface layer of the printed circuit board, and are connected to the cap by one or more vias extending from the cap to the one or more surface pads. In some embodiments, the circuit board is a substrate for mounting an integrated circuit, such as a ball-grid array integrated circuit. The invention includes methods for making the novel circuit board, as well as integrated circuit assemblies comprising the novel circuit board with an integrated circuit mounted thereto.
