Abstract

Abstract A printed circuit board or card for direct chip attachment that includes at least one power core, at least one signal plane that is adjacent to the power core, and plated through holes for electrical connection is provided. In addition, a layer of dielectric material is adjacent the power core and a circuitized conductive layer is adjacent the dielectric material, followed by a layer of photosensitive dielectric material adjacent the conductive layer. Photodeveloped blind vias for subsequent connection to the power core and drilled blind vias for subsequent connection to the signal plane are provided. Also provided is process for fabricating the printed circuit board or card for direct chip attachment.
