Claim 7:
8. A method of routing a conductive path within a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, the method comprising:
routing a first segment of a conductive path from a first layer of a plurality of layers of the PCB to a second layer of the plurality of layers of the PCB utilizing a first via, wherein the first via extends from the first layer to the second surface of the PCB and comprises a first portion that is on the conductive path between the first layer and the second layer and a second portion that is not on the conductive path between the first layer and the second layer, and wherein a length of the first portion of the first via is greater than a length of the second portion of the first via;
routing a second segment of the conductive path from the first layer to the second layer utilizing a second via, wherein the second via extends from the second surface of the PCB to the second layer and comprises a first portion that is on the conductive path between the first layer and the second layer and a second portion that is not on the conductive path between the first layer and the second layer, and wherein a length of the first portion of the second via is greater than a length of the second portion of the second via; and
routing a third segment of the conductive path between the first via and the second via.
