A chip package is also disclosed having a pin arrangement that couples to the corresponding arrangement of conductive contacts on the PCB.

A component carrier includes a stack with at least one electrically conductive layer structure, at least one electrically insulating layer structure, and a hole in the stack having a first hole portion covered with metal and having a second hole portion not covered with metal, wherein the second hole portion is defined by an anti-plating dielectric structure and an electroless plateable separation barrier.

An interconnect structure includes a first conductor, a second conductor, a dielectric block, a substrate, and a pair of conductive lines. The first conductor and the second conductor form a differential pair design. The dielectric block surrounds the first conductor and the second conductor. The first conductor is separated from the second conductor by the dielectric block. The substrate surrounds the dielectric block and is spaced apart from the first conductor and the second conductor. The pair of conductive lines is connected to the first conductor and the second conductor, respectively, and extends along a top surface of the dielectric block and a top surface of the substrate.

A method of producing electronic components each including a substrate-type terminal and a device connected to the substrate-type terminal including a substrate body with first and second principal surfaces opposite to each other and an electrode configured to be connected to the device on the first principal surface, wherein the device is disposed on the first principal surface, includes forming grooves in a substrate from one of the first and second principal surfaces of the substrate such that the substrate is divided into the substrate-type terminals, the grooves each having a depth less than a thickness of the substrate, cutting the substrate from another principal surface opposite to the principal surface of the substrate body such that the grooves penetrate through the substrate in a thickness direction thereof, and mounting the device on each of the first principal surfaces.

A printed circuit board has multiple stacked layers laminated together. A through hole is formed through the laminated stack, and plating is applied to the side walls of the though hole, thereby forming a plated through hole. Second through holes are then formed through the laminated stack, where each second through hole overlaps an edge of the plated through hole. By aligning the second through holes at the edge of the plated through hole, the plating of the plated through hole coincident with each second through hole is removed, thereby separating the plated through hole into two separate circuit paths. Forming second through holes in this manner effectively splits the circuit path of the plated through hole into multiple separate circuit paths, which increases the circuit density of the printed circuit board.

A module substrate for a semiconductor module including a wiring substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to each other and including a wiring formed therein, the wiring substrate having at least one through groove in at least one sidewall and extending in a thickness direction, and a through-groove test terminal including at least one contact pad, a surface of the contact pad being exposed from an inner wall of the through-groove, the contact pad being spaced apart from a vertical plane extending from the sidewall of the wiring substrate may be provided.
