Abstract:
1. A memory module, comprising: a printed circuit board having opposing first and second outside surfaces; a unibody via extending along an axis perpendicular to the first and second outside surfaces and extending entirely through the printed circuit board and coupled between a primary conductor on the first outside surface and a secondary conductor on the second outside surface; at least one primary semiconductor memory device arranged upon the first outside surface and coupled to the primary conductor; a memory controller coupled to the primary conductor; at least one secondary semiconductor memory device arranged upon the second outside surface substantially opposite the primary semiconductor memory device and coupled to the secondary conductor; and wherein the primary and secondary semiconductor memory devices each comprise a midpoint between outer lateral edges of each respective primary and secondary semiconductor memory device through which a single axis extends substantially perpendicular to the first and second outside surfaces.
