Abstract
A system and method for improved power plane decoupling. In a preferred embodiment, two dielectric layers with different dielectric constants are separated by a first conducting layer. Second and third conducting layers are positioned outside the two dielectric layers, forming a conductor-dielectric-conductor-dielectric-conductor stack. The two outer conducting layers contact each other periodically through vias made in the conducting layers, adding high dielectric constant capacitance to the plane structure for short time intervals. The lower dielectric constant material provides high propagation speed coupling to the high dielectric constant material.
