Clustered stacked vias for reliable electronic substrates

摘要

A method of fabricating a substrate via structure in a substrate/chip assembly includes steps of: disposing a center via stack for electrical interconnects in the substrate/chip assembly; and providing a plurality of stacked vias surrounding the center via stack. The plurality of stacked vias encircle the center via stack, resulting in no isolated via stacks on the structure. The plurality of stacked vias have both functional and non-functional vias.
