The present invention relates to a laminated body with electric conductor including a substrate; a functional layer having at least an adhesive layer; an electric conductor; and a protective material, wherein the substrate, the functional layer having at least the adhesive layer, the electric conductor, and the protective material are sequentially laminated in a thickness direction, and wherein a thickness of the functional layer is less than or equal to 0.300 mm.

A coplanar waveguide structure includes a dielectric layer disposed over at least a portion of a substrate and a planar transmission line disposed within the dielectric layer. In some instances, the planar transmission line can include a conductive signal line and one or more ground lines. In other instances, the planar transmission line may include a conductive stacked signal line and one or more stacked ground lines.

Density-graded adhesion layers on conductive structures within a microelectronic package substrate are described. An example is a density-graded adhesion layer that includes a dense region proximate to a conductive structure that is surrounded by a less dense (or porous) region adjacent to an overlying dielectric layer. Providing such a graded adhesion layer can have a number of benefits, which can include providing both mechanical connections for improved adhesion with a surrounding dielectric layer and provide hermetic protection for the underlying conductive structure from corrosive species. The adhesion layer enables the conductive structure to maintain its as-formed smooth surface which in turn reduces insertion loss of signals transmitted through the conductive structure.
