Abstract

Innerlayer panels are provided with high density fiducials during manufacture. The fiducials can be identified using X-rays without etching away portions of the innerlayer panel to expose the fiducials.

Claims (19)

1. An innerlayer panel, comprising:

a dielectric;

at least one feature at least partially embedded within the dielectric;

at least one fiducial at least partially embedded within the dielectric, the fiducial comprising glass and at least one element selected from the group consisting of tungsten, tantalum, gold, iridium, rhenium, osmium, uranium and platinum; and

at least one conductive termination or associated circuitry in contact with the dielectric and electrically coupled to the at least one feature.

2. A printed wiring board comprising a plurality of stacked innerlayer panels of claim 1 .

3. An innerlayer panel, comprising:

a dielectric;

at least one feature at least partially embedded within the dielectric, said at least one feature comprising at Least one of a capacitor and a resistor;

at least one fiducial at least partially embedded within the dielectric, the fiducial comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of tungsten, tantalum, gold, iridium, rhenium, osmium, uranium and platinum; and

at least one conductive termination or associated circuitry in contact with the dielectric and electrically coupled to the at least one feature.

4. A printed wiring board comprising a plurality of stacked innerlayer panels of claim 3 .

5. An innerlayer panel, comprising:

a dielectric;

at least one feature at least partially embedded within the dielectric;

an encapsulant disposed between The at least one feature and the dielectric;

at least one fiducial at least partially embedded within The dielectric, the fiducial comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of tungsten, tantalum, gold, iridium, rhenium, osmium, uranium and platinum; and

at least one conductive termination or associated circuitry in contact with The dielectric and electrically coupled to the at least one feature.

6. A printed wiring board comprising a plurality of stacked innerlayer panels of claim 5 .
