Abstract:
An interconnect system for connecting an interposer to a printed circuit board, comprising:a dielectric interposer substrate having a top side and a bottom side, the top side having a conductive circuitry pattern thereon and having one or more electronic components electrically connected to said conductive circuitry pattern, and the bottom side having a plurality of solder pads arranged in an array format; electrical interconnections passing vertically through the substrate from the conductive circuitry pattern to the solder pads; and a passive component having a solderable termination at first and second opposing ends, said passive component mounted vertically on one or more of the solder pads belonging to the dielectric interposer such that said first end of the passive component is soldered to a solder pad and such that said second end is not connected to any of said solder pads; and wherein said second end of said passive component functions as an electrical interconnect to the printed circuit board.
