Abstract :
IC design advances have accelerated the need for low inductance power delivery to next-generation microprocessors and similar ICs. New connectors are now being developed that will carry hundreds of amps yet introduce just picohenries of loop inductance. These new connectors require innovative design, test and fabrication methods
