Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB), vertical conductive structures (VeCSs) for the PCB, and a method of fabricating a printed circuit board (PCB). The VeCS includes a VeCS slot at least partially defined in a dielectric substrate. A vertical signal trace is positioned on a first side of the VeCS slot and a vertical reference trace is positioned on a second side of the VeCS slot opposite the vertical signal trace. The VeCS has a predetermined impedance. A plurality of signal ground planes is positioned at a respective predetermined distance from the vertical signal trace. Each signal ground plane defines a cutout.
