Scalable high-bandwidth connectivity
First Claim
1. An integrated circuit package, comprising:
- a dielectric substrate;
a first die on the dielectric substrate, the first die having a plurality of corners, including at least a first corner, a second corner, and a third corner between the first and second corners;
a first antenna connected to the first die between the first corner and the third corner;
a second antenna connected to the first die between the second corner and the third corner, and spaced apart from the first antenna; and
an extremely high frequency (EHF) radiation-blocking structure comprised of electrically conductive material including a via fence having a row of spaced-apart vias extending through the dielectric substrate, the EHF radiation-blocking structure extending from between the first and second corners of the first die to be at least partially located between the first antenna and the second antenna and oriented to block propagation of EHF radiation between the first antenna and the second antenna via the dielectric substrate.

Abstract
A scalable, high-bandwidth connectivity architecture for portable storage devices and memory modules may utilize EHF communication link chip packages mounted in various two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations on planar surfaces such as printed circuit boards. Multiple electromagnetic communication links between devices distributed on major faces of card-like devices may be provided with respectively aligned pairs of communication units on each device. Adjacent communication units on a printed circuit board may transmit or receive electromagnetic radiation having different polarization, such as linear or elliptical polarization. Power and communication between communication devices may both be provided wirelessly.
