Abstract
As semiconductor voltages are reduced in order to permit finer feature sizes, and at the same time transistor counts continue to climb, the demands for adequate power and ground become increasingly complex and electrically challenging. There is a growing need for more flexible, even higher-performance electronic packages, yet those factors that have the greatest impact upon the system design, such as I/O counts, bus speeds, serviceability and signal integrity, often conflict directly with traditional packaging approaches. An exploration into alternative methods has produced a new packaging structure called Cluster Grid Array, capable of addressing the need for a pluggable, high-pin-count package with outstanding electrical and mechanical characteristics. This paper provides an overview of the new packaging structure, with emphasis placed on its mechanical and electrical attributes.
