PRINTED WIRING-BOARD ISLANDS FOR CONNECTING CHIP PACKAGES AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING SAME

Abstract:

A printed wiring-board island relieves added complexity to a printed circuit board. The printed wiring-board island creates an island form factor in the printed circuit board. Coupling of a semiconductive device package to the printed wiring-board island includes a ball-grid array. The ball-grid array can at least partially penetrate the printed wiring-board island.
