The present invention relates to an interposer substrate for
interconnecting between active electronic componentry such as but not
limited to a single or multiple integrated circuit chips in either a
single or a combination and elements that could comprise of a mounting
substrate, substrate module, a printed circuit board, integrated circuit
chips or other substrates containing conductive energy pathways that
service an energy utilizing load and leading to and from an energy
source. The interposer will also possess a multi-layer, universal
multi-functional, common conductive shield structure with conductive
pathways for energy and EMI conditioning and protection that also
comprise a commonly shared and centrally positioned conductive pathway or
electrode of the structure that can simultaneously shield and allow
smooth energy interaction between grouped and energized conductive
pathway electrodes containing a circuit architecture for energy
conditioning as it relates to integrated circuit device packaging. The
invention can be employed between an active electronic component and a
multilayer circuit card. A method for making the interposer is not
presented and can be varied to the individual or proprietary construction
methodologies that exist or will be developed.
