Fine feature formation techniques for printed circuit boards are described. In one embodiment, for example, a method may comprise fabricating a conductive structure on a low density interconnect (LDI) printed circuit board (PCB) according to an LDI fabrication process and forming one or more fine conductive features on the LDI PCB by performing a fine feature formation (FFF) process, the FFF process to comprise removing conductive material of the conductive structure along an excision path to form a fine gap region within the conductive structure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

One embodiment provides an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes a housing defining a slot; and a pin. The pin includes a stub member comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion to couple to a first printed circuit board; and a movable member operable to engage the second portion of the stub member to create a conductive path, wherein the stub member is only engaged with the movable member when a second printed circuit board is inserted into the slot.

A conductor in a laminar structure, such as a printed circuit board or thin-film stack, is closely flanked by at least one open trench filled with an ambient medium (e.g., air, another gas, vacuum) of a lower dielectric loss than the conductor's surrounding dielectric. The trench may be made by any suitably precise method such as laser scribing, chemical etching or mechanical displacement. A thin layer of dielectric may be left on the sides of the conductor to prevent oxidation or other reactions that may reduce conductivity. When the conductor carries a signal, part of an electric and/or magnetic field that would ordinarily travel through the surrounding dielectric encounters the low-loss ambient medium (e.g. air) in the trench. The effective dielectric loss surrounding the conductor is lowered, reducing signal attenuation and crosstalk, particularly at high frequencies.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods may include a circuit board having a plated through hole with a via portion and a stub portion and a self-coupled inductor electrically coupled to the via portion of the plated through hole. The self-coupled inductor may include a first inductor mutually coupled to a second inductor in series to reduce a capacitive effect of the stub portion of the plated through hole.

A broadside coupled differential design is described herein. The design may include a differential pair. Each trace of the differential pair includes a wide portion and a narrow portion. The wide portion of the first trace of the differential pair is to be aligned with a narrow portion of the second trace of the differential pair. Additionally, the wide portion of the second trace of the differential pair is to be aligned with a narrow portion of the first trace of the differential pair, such that the wide and narrow portions of the traces of the differential pair are staggered.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure describe an integrated circuit (IC) package assembly having first, second, and third insulated wires wire bonded with die pads on an IC die, with an outer surface of the second insulated wire located at a distance of less than an outer cross-sectional diameter of the second insulated wire from an outer surface of the first insulated wire at a first location and located at a distance of less than the outer cross-sectional diameter from an outer surface of the third insulated wire at a second location. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

An apparatus and method to permit reconfiguration of a memory topology. A printed circuit board (PCB) has a central processing unit (CPU) connector coupled a pair of dual inline memory module (DIMM) connectors coupled thereto. The PCB defines an electrical access channel coupling the pair of DIMM connectors into a T topology having a first branch and a second branch. The second branch of the T topology is electrically discontinuous with the rest of the T topology proximate to a T junction. A bridge may be provided to span the discontinuity.
