Abstract:
A ground isolation webbing structure package includes a top level with an upper interconnect layer having upper ground contacts, upper data signal contacts, and a conductive material upper ground webbing structure that is connected to the upper ground contacts and surrounds the upper data signal contacts. The upper contacts may be formed over and connected to via contacts or traces of a lower layer of the same interconnect level. The via contacts of the lower layer may be connected to upper contacts of a second interconnect level which may also have such webbing. There may also be at least a third interconnect level having such webbing. The webbing structure electrically isolates and reduces cross talk between the signal contacts, thus providing higher frequency and more accurate data signal transfer between devices such as integrated circuit (IC) chips attached to a package.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein forming the upper layer of the first interconnect level comprises:\n forming a blanket layer of dielectric material over a lower layer of the first interconnect level; forming a mask over a top surface of the blanket layer of dielectric material, the mask having (1) first openings over ground via contacts of the lower layer in which to form the first level upper ground contacts, (2) second openings over data signal via contacts of the lower layer in which to form the first level upper data signal contacts, and (3) third openings over dielectric of the lower layer in which to form the first level ground webbing structure; the first openings horizontally open to and in communication with the third openings; then etching away portions of the blanket layer of dielectric material in the first, second and third openings, and to the top surface of the lower layer; then simultaneously forming the first level upper ground contacts in the first openings, the first level upper data signal contacts in the second openings, and the ground webbing structure in the third openings formed in the blanket layer of dielectric material.
