Patent ID: 7675155

Claim:
A circuit module, comprising: a first packaged integrated circuit having a first plurality of leads emergent therefrom; a second packaged integrated circuit having a second plurality of leads emergent therefrom; and an interposer disposed between and in contact with the first plurality of leads and the second plurality of leads, the interposer comprising: a first set of connective elements disposed along a first surface of the interposer and in contact with selected leads of the first plurality of leads; a second set of connective elements disposed along a second surface of the interposer and in contact with selected leads of the second plurality of leads; a first conductive path that provides electrical communication between a connective element of the first set of connective elements and a connective element of the second set of connective elements; a second conductive path that provides electrical communication between connective elements of the first set of connective elements and a connective element of the second set of connective elements, wherein the second conductive path comprises a trace that interconnects capture pads and that is orthogonal to the first conductive path.
