Patent ID: 7772705

Claim:
A ball grid array arrangement for use with an associated substrate having a bottom surface, the ball grid array arrangement comprising: a first row comprising six vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; a second row comprising five vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; a third row comprising vias and thermal balls defined on the bottom surface of the associated substrate, the third row consisting essentially of a series arrangement along the third row of, in order: a first vias, four thermal balls and a second vias; a fourth row comprising five vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; a fifth row comprising vias and thermal balls defined on the bottom surface of the associated substrate, the fifth row consisting essentially of a series arrangement along the fifth row of, in order: one via, one thermal ball, second and third vias, a second thermal ball and a fourth via; a sixth row comprising five vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; a seventh row comprising vias and thermal balls defined on the bottom surface of the associated substrate, the seventh row consisting essentially of a series arrangement along the seventh row of, in order: a first via, a first thermal ball, second and third vias, a second thermal ball and a fourth via; an eighth row comprising five vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; a ninth row comprising vias and thermal balls defined on the bottom surface of the associated substrate, the ninth row consisting essentially of a series arrangement along the ninth row of, in order: a first vias, four thermal balls and a second vias; a tenth row comprising five vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate; and an eleventh row comprising six vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate, wherein each of the thermal balls of the ball grid array arrangement is coupled directly to the bottom surface of the associated substrate at areas spaced apart from each of the vias opening at the bottom surface of the associated substrate.
