In exemplary embodiments, a circuit assembly may be provided on and/or supported by an electrically conductive structure, such as a board level shield, a midplate, a bracket, a precision metal part, etc. For example, a circuit assembly may be provided on and/or supported by an outer top surface of a board level shield. In an exemplary embodiment, an assembly generally includes an electrically conductive structure configured for a first functionality in the electronic device. An electrically nonconductive material is on at least part of the electrically conductive structure. First electrical component(s) are at least partly on the electrically nonconductive layer and configured to define at least a portion of a circuit assembly for electrical connection with one or more second electrical components of the electronic device.

A circuit may be configured to reduce electrical signal degradation. The circuit may include a first trace and a second trace that may be broadside coupled between a first ground plane and a second ground plane. The first and second traces may be configured to carry first and second signals, respectively, of a differential signal.

Further, the circuit may include a second dielectric material disposed between the first trace and the first ground plane and disposed between the second trace and the second ground plane. A difference between a first dielectric constant of the first dielectric material and a second dielectric constant of the second dielectric material may suppress a mode conversion of the differential signal from a differential mode to a common mode.

Printed circuit board and/or semiconductor wafer fabrication techniques and technologies are applied to create anode and cathode electrodes for exothermic reaction chambers and processes. Starting with an appropriate substrate, e.g., ceramic, anodes and cathodes of varying shapes and spaced relationships, formed of the reactive materials required, may be fabricated on the same or different layers as conductive traces. In some embodiments, the shapes and placement of the traces, and use of one or more ground planes, may optimize the generation of magnetic fields as current passes through the traces. In some embodiments, an iron core may shape and/or enhance the strength of magnetic fields. In general, the use of PCB/IC fabrication technology allows the manufacture of electrodes for exothermic reactions that are rugged, made from appropriate materials, and have known and repeatable impedances, spaced relationships, magnetic coupling, and other properties.
