Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A microelectronic structure includes a first row of contacts ( 14 ) and a second row of contacts ( 24 ) offset from the first row, so that the first and second rows cooperatively define pairs of contacts. These pairs of contacts include first pairs ( 30 a ) and second pairs ( 30 b ) arranged in alternating sequence in the row direction. The first pairs are provided with low connectors ( 32 a ), whereas the second pairs are provided with high connectors ( 32 b ). The high connectors and low connectors have sections vertically offset from one another to reduce mutual impedance between adjacent connectors.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A microelectronic structure comprising: (a) a first element having a first row of contacts extending in a row direction in a first plane; (b) a second element having a second row of contacts extending parallel to the first row of contacts, the second row of contacts being offset from the first row in a horizontal direction transverse to the row direction and offset upwardly in the vertical direction from the first row of contacts, the first-row and s…
