Conductive substructures of a multilayered laminate

Abstract

Conductive substructures of a multilayered laminate and associated methods of fabrication. The conductive substructures include a 0S1P substructure, a 0S3P substructure, and a 2S1P substructure, in accordance with the notation nSmP, wherein n and m are non-negative integers, wherein S stands for “signal plane,” and wherein P stands for “power plane.” A signal plane is characterized by its inclusion of a layer comprising conductive circuitry. A power plane is characterized by its inclusion of a continuously conductive layer. Thus, a 0S1P substructure includes 0 signal planes and 1 power plane (n=0, m=1). A 0S3P substructure includes 0 signal planes and 3 power plane (n=0, m=3) with a dielectric layer between each pair of power planes. A 2S1P substructure includes 2 signal planes and 1 power plane (n=2, m=1) with a dielectric layer between the power plane and each signal plane. A multilayered laminate includes a stacked substructure configuration having any combination of 0S1P, 0S3P, and 2S1P substructures with dielectric material insulatively separating the substructures from one another.
