Patent ID: 7478472

Claim:
A method of making a circuitized substrate, said method comprising: providing at least one dielectric layer having first and second opposing sides; positioning a conductive ground plane on said first opposing side of said dielectric layer; positioning at least one conductive signal line having one conductive thru-hole on said second opposing side of said dielectric layer; positioning first and second conductive ground lines on said second opposing side of said dielectric layer on opposite sides of said at least one conductive signal line, each conductive ground line having one conductive thru-hole, respectively; electrically coupling said first and second conductive ground lines to said conductive ground plane located on said first opposing side of said dielectric layer such that said first and second conductive ground lines provide shielding for said at least one conductive signal line during the passage of electrical current therethrough; providing first, second and third conductive thru-holes within said at least one dielectric layer, said first and third conductive thru-holes electrically coupling said first and second conductive ground lines to said conductive ground plane; and providing a second dielectric layer on said conductive ground plane opposite said first dielectric layer and providing a second conductive signal line on said second dielectric layer opposite said conductive ground plane, said second conductive thru-hole electrically coupling said at least one conductive signal line to said second conductive signal line.
