FIG. 1A shows adevice 10A comprising a first (PCB) Printed Circuit Board PB1 composed of a conventional electrically insulating or dielectric material with a planar upper surface and a planar lower surfaces parallel to each other. On the upper surface of Printed Circuit Board PB1 are two chips CHA and CHB which are connected to the upper surface electrically and mechanically by solder balls SB to conventional pads not shown on the top surface of the printed circuit board PB1. Buried within the printed circuit board PB1 are a conductive ground plane BP and a conductive power plane PP, shown in this example, below the ground plane BP.
