Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for a printed circuit board (PCB) and package with an embedded air dielectric includes a conductor formed on a surface of a first core layer, a conductor layer overlaying an inner surface of a cavity formed in a second core layer, the conductor layer opposing the conductor, and a sealed air channel between and separating the conductor and the conductor layer from contacting each other. A gas in the sealed air channel provides a primary dielectric therein. The gas may be air.
