Abstract
An apparatus relating generally to a substrate is disclosed. In such an apparatus, the substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface define a thickness of the substrate. A via structure extends from the first surface of the substrate to the second surface of the substrate. The via structure has a first terminal at or proximate to the first surface and a second terminal at or proximate to the second surface provided by a conductive member of the via structure extending from the first terminal to the second terminal. A barrier layer of the via structure is disposed between at least a portion of the conductive member and the substrate. The barrier layer has a conductivity configured to offset a capacitance between the conductive member and the substrate when a signal is passed through the conductive member of the via structure.
