Definitions

  • PCBs Printed circuit boards, backplanes, midplanes, printed wiring boards, flex circuits, rigid flex-circuits, multi-chip modules (MCM), interposers and the like are herein referred to collectively as "PCBs”.
  • a via structure typically provides a conductive path between conductive layers in the z- axis direction (orthogonal to the x-y plane of a PCB).
  • Via holes are formed by a variety of techniques including but not limited to laser drilling, mechanical drilling, and techniques based on photo definition. Via holes are subsequently partially or wholly filled or coated with a conductive material, usually metal.
  • Such via structures may be blind, buried, through-hole and may or may not include pads on the conductive layers, as is well known to those skilled in the art of PCB design.
  • Sensitive components on a printed circuit board can be damaged by transient occurrences of electrostatic discharges (ESD).
  • ESD electrostatic discharges
  • An ESD is characterized by a rapid rise in the order of tens of kilovolts in a few picoseconds, for example.
  • Other transient phenomena with lower peak voltage levels and slower rise-times can also cause damage to the printed circuit board.
  • a sudden rise in voltage can be caused by a poorly grounded soldering iron, or a power switching relay, or a lightning strike on telecommunication lines that are connected to the printed circuit board.
  • FIG. IA is a schematic that illustrates a printed circuit board 102 protected by conductive guard rings 104.
  • Printed circuit board (PCB) 102 has a length L and a width W.
  • conductive guard rings 104 are added to the periphery of each outer layer of PCB 102 and one or more discrete transient protection devices can be attached to PCB 102.
  • the guard rings 104 are attached to the chassis ground at the location where I/O connectors 106 are mounted to PCB 102. Typically, when a person picks up a PCB, the person will initially touch the periphery of the PCB. By positioning guard rings 104 along the periphery of PCB 102, guard rings 104 re-direct undesired transient currents to chassis ground. Thus, detrimental currents are not allowed to flow to transient sensitive components on PCB 102. However, guard rings fail to protect interior surfaces 112 of PCB 102. Another form of transient protection is the use of discrete transient protection devices.
  • Discrete transient protection devices such as discrete transient protection devices 108 can be attached to PCB 102 at the location where signal and/or power lines enter PCB 102, such as connector 106.
  • discrete transient protection devices consume valuable real estate on the PCB.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,657,532 discloses discrete over-voltage protection components made of a thin layer of neat dielectric polymer or glass positioned between a ground plane and an electric conductor.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,657,532 also discloses discrete over-voltage protection components having multi-layers of variable voltage material.
  • Another non-limiting example of a discrete transient protection device is a resettable polymeric-positive-temperature- coefficient (PPTC) device. Like fuses, PPTC devices help protect circuitry from overcurrent damage. However, discrete PPTC devices consume valuable real estate on the PCB.
  • PPTC resettable polymeric-positive-temperature- coefficient
  • transient protection include on-chip transient protection devices 110, such as zener diodes, for example.
  • on-chip transient protection devices do not have sufficient capacity to effectively dissipate large transient events.
  • Both discrete and on-chip transient protection devices often have excessive amounts of intrinsic capacitance that makes such devices unsuitable for use in high speed applications.
  • the primary protection mechanism of both discrete and on-chip transient protection devices is through the conversion of undesired transient energy into heat. Thus, large transient magnitudes and/or repeated exposure to large transient magnitudes are likely to result in over-heating that in turn results in performance degradation of such devices.
  • FIG. IB is a cross section 150 of the PCB 102 of FIG. IA taken at IB.
  • Cross section 150 shows that the PCB comprises multi-layers 160 of material.
  • Cross section 150 also shows guard ring 104, on-chip transient protection device 110, connector 106 and discrete protection devices 108.
  • a voltage switchable dielectric material (also referred to as "VSDM”) can be used as transient protection material.
  • voltage switchable dielectric material was used to make an insulating substrate that can be made conductive.
  • the voltage switchable dielectric material is amenable to electrochemical processing such as electroplating for making conductive traces.
  • electrochemical processing such as electroplating for making conductive traces.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,797,145 discloses the use of voltage switchable dielectric material as an insulating substrate that can be made conductive for making conductive traces
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,797,145 briefly suggests the use of voltage switchable dielectric material as a transient protection material.
  • a printed circuit board (PCB) with integrated transient protection comprises a transient protection material that is selectively deposited on portions of one or more planes selected from a signal plane, a power plane and a ground plane, or any combination thereof.

  • the dielectric thickness is less then about 4 mils. If the conductive foil on one side of the dielectric is a ground plane and the conductive foil on the opposing side of the dielectric is a power plane, then the core layer structure has the added benefit of embedded distributed capacitance as well as selective transient protection. A further benefit is the reduction in plane inductance by bringing the power conductive layer closer to the ground conductive layer. In other words, as the dielectric layer becomes thinner, capacitance is increased and inductance is decreased. By increasing capacitance and decreasing inductance, quieter power distribution systems are produced, which in turn allow cleaner signals at higher frequencies. Some components, such as discrete capacitors, may further be removed from the surface of the PCB, thus reducing cost.
  • the amount of capacitance generated in this embedded planar capacitor is dependent upon the dielectric constants of the transient protection material and the dielectric used in the composite, the planar area of the power-ground conductive layer pair and the thickness of the composite.
  • the amount of capacitance generated by this structure can be calculated as:
