Patent ID: 7880556

Claim:
An interconnection system comprising: at least one electrical signal line; at least one ground/power line; and a dielectric system interposed between said at least one ground/power line and said at least one electrical signal line, wherein the at least one electrical signal line is laid on one surface of the dielectric system, said dielectric system further comprising; at least one dielectric layer comprised of a first dielectric material, said at least one dielectric layer further comprising; a first dielectric region having a continuous layer of the first dielectric material, wherein said signal line is located on top of said first dielectric region, and a second dielectric region located underneath said first dielectric region, said second dielectric region further including, a first plurality of substantially cylindrical or spherical holes, vertically positioned, that run uninterrupted through the second dielectric region starting at one surface of the second dielectric region and ending at the ground/power line, wherein said holes are disposed in the at least one dielectric layer, and arranged in polygonal arrays, wherein said cylindrical or spherical holes are arranged in a way to form a two-dimensional or three-dimensional array.
