Abstract
A BGA package includes an array of electrically conductive balls providing electrical contact for a semiconductor die. A power channel is provided to convey power supply current towards the semiconductor die. The power channel is formed by a stack of electrically conductive planes. The electrically conductive planes are stacked in a stepped arrangement wherein a number of stacked planes in each step of the stack increases in a direction from a distal end to a proximal end of the power channel. Adjacent electrically conductive planes in the stack of the power channel are electrically coupled with electrically conductive vias extending therebetween. Current conduction paths towards the die area thus have resistance values that decrease from the distal end to the proximal end of the power channel.
