Abstract:
Aspects of the embodiments are directed to an IC chip that includes a substrate comprising a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a ground plane residing on the first metal layer. The second metal layer can include a first signal trace, the first signal trace electrically coupled to a first signal pad residing in the first metal layer by a first signal via. The second metal layer can include a second signal trace, the second signal trace electrically coupled to a second signal pad residing in the first metal layer by a second signal via. The substrate can also include a ground trace residing in the second metal layer between the first signal trace and the second signal trace, the ground trace electrically coupled to the ground plane by a ground via. The vias coupled to the traces can include self-aligned or zero-misaligned vias.
