Patent ID: 6933596

Claim:
An electronic device packaging assembly for enclosing an electronic device, said assembly comprising: a base plate including a top surface and a bottom surface, said electronic device being mounted to the top surface of the base plate; a plurality of electrical vias extending through the base plate, said base plate being made of a laminate material including a fiber and resin mixture and having a thickness less than 0.01″; electrical traces patterned on the top surface of the base plate and being in electrical contact with the vias in a selective manner, said traces including ground traces, signal traces and power traces, said signal traces including an impedance matching compensation network, said electronic device being electrically coupled to the compensation networks to provide impedance matching between the electronic device and the signal traces; and a ball grid array mounted to the bottom surface of the base plate, said ball grid array including a plurality of balls electrically coupled to the vias in a selective manner to provide electrical connections to the electronic device, wherein the packaging assembly allows the electronic device to effectively operate at frequencies from DC up to 50 GHz.
