One possible solution is below.
Embedded microstrip
Dielectric layer 1 = 8 mils
Copper = 1.4 mils
Dielectric layer 2 = 15 mils
Ground or power plane
Trace widths = 5 mils
Trace seperation center to center = 14 mils
Dielectric constant for FR4 = 4.0 assumed.
This yields single ended 90 ohms (other trace present) and differential
120 ohms.
