Abstract
Techniques for power tunnels on circuit boards are disclosed. A power tunnel may be created in a circuit board by drilling through non-conductive layers to a conductive trace and then filling in the hole with a conductor. A power tunnel can have a high cross-sectional area and can carry a larger amount of current than an equivalent-width trace, reducing the area on a circuit board required to carry that amount of current.
