To realize high density 3D packaging, various types of interposer including through vias are developed. Although the interposer should have a high wiring density not only horizontally but also vertically, the ability of the conventional interposers to provide high density through vias with a low cost is still quite limited. Copper-filled anodic aluminum oxide has been studied as an alternative interposer material. Stable electrical connection was confirmed with four-wiringlayer substrates. High density vias as fine as 35 μm pitch were realized as a ground-surrounded structure. This coaxial-like via structure was remarkably effective for reducing harmful noise that tends to increase with the increased via density required for high performance systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
