Abstract
Abstract An interposer including a first face and second face opposite the first face and at least one electrically conductive plane. The at least one electrically conductive plane functions as a power, ground, or signal plane. At least one electrically insulating plane is positioned on opposite sides of the at least one electrically conductive plane. A plurality of plated through holes are formed through the at least one electrically conductive planes and the at least two electrically insulating planes. The through holes are selectively electrically joined to the at least one electrically conductive plane. At least one passive electronic structure is positioned within the interposer structure.
