Abstract:
1. A circuit board comprising: a first conductor layer forming a plurality of conductive circuit traces disposed on a first plane for interconnecting electronic components; a second conductive layer forming a plurality of conductive circuit traces disposed on a second plane for interconnecting electronic components, wherein the second plane is spaced a part from the first plane; a substrate for supporting the first conductor layer; a pedestal formed from at least one of the substrate, the first and second conductor layers for supporting at least one of the plurality of electronic components, wherein the pedestal provides a heat conduction path for conducting heat away from the at least one of the plurality of electronic components; an aperture in the substrate around the pedestal for allowing a fluid to pass through at least one of the substrate the first and second conductor layers; and a plurality of bridges that traverse the aperture, wherein the plurality of bridges are formed from one of the first and second conductive layers and connected at a first end to the pedestal and at a second end to the substrate.
