PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Si-based packaging with integrated passive components for millimeter wave applications. SOLUTION: An apparatus is described incorporating an interposer 1 having a cavity for a portion of an antenna structure 22, having conductor through vias 3, a top Si part 6 having interconnection wiring 72, 73, 74 and having pads for electrically mounting an integrated circuit chip 21 thereon, wherein the top Si part mates with the interposer electrically and mechanically. The interposer and the top Si part may be scaled to provide an array of functional units. This invention overcomes the problem of combining a high efficient antenna with integrated circuit chips in a Si package with signal frequencies from 1 to 100 GHz and the problem of shielding components proximate to the antenna and reduces strain arising from mismatching of TCEs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display, a computer terminal and an antenna which enables an antenna to be installed without enlarging its frame or downsizing a display panel, and can receive radio waves sufficiently well, if the frame is made of a conductive material. SOLUTION: A notebook type computer terminal has a thin sheet-like slot antenna 20, installed in a gap between a display panel 13 and a sidewall 16 of a display panel frame 14, with its a transmitter-receiver 20a being projected over a prescribed length from a conductive material-made casing 13A of the display panel 13 and a stay 21. The antenna 20 has a ground part 20b connected to the ground of a radio wave-signal converter circuit and also to the conductive material-made frame 14 via the stay 21.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antenna which is constituted by using one or a plurality of conductive via stubs formed as radiating elements in a substrate. SOLUTION: A method which constitutes the antenna contains a step for preparing the substrate having a first and a second surfaces which are almost parallel to each other, and a step wherein via holes are formed between the first and the second surfaces penetrating the substrate and filled with a conductive material, the conductive via stubs are formed and the radiating elements are formed in the substrate. The antenna and an IC chip (e.g. a transceiver of an IC type, a receiver, a transmitter, etc.) are collectively packaged, and an integrally formed communication system for radio or RF (high frequency) can be formed.
