Abstract:
The systems and methods described herein are directed to using a plurality of interface elements (e.g., sockets) and/or stud-bump elements embedded into board substrates (e.g., a motherboard) to enable the interchange of variable configuration components (e.g., electronic components, chips, and the like) that are mounted on package substrates having ball grid arrays (BGAs). In some aspects, this interchange can be accomplished while leaving the pre-existing board substrate design and various peripheral system components of the board substrate unchanged.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of fabricating a board substrate, comprising:\n forming a plurality of blind vias in the board substrate, the blind vias having a pre-determined diameter, depth, and pitch; fabricating a plurality of interface elements in the blind vias, the interface elements further comprising base structures, the base structures comprising contact surfaces with a ball grid array (BGA); aligning a package substrate comprising the BGA with the board substrate; and applying an enabling load of a pre-determined magnitude to the package substrate or board substrate for attaching the package substrate to the board substrate using the plurality of interface elements.
