Abstract:
Many packaging concepts use via arrays for grounding and to eliminate parasitic modes. Such arrays
represent periodic structures and change their behavior beyond a certain frequency. Proper design
of via geometry and pitch is necessary. For this purpose, electromagnetic simulation data and an
equivalent circuit model are presented.
