    Abstract: A chip carrier (120), or an equivalent circuitised substrate, for high-frequency applications with a multi-layer structure, has via-holes (145) which extend between two non-adjacent conductive layers (210a,210f) for transmitting high-frequency signals. The chip carrier includes, for each via-hole, shielding rings (230b-230e) connectable to a reference voltage; each ring is formed in a corresponding intermediate conductive layer (210b-210e) between the two non-adjacent conductive layers, and is closed around the via-hole. The rings define a shielding coaxial structure for the via-hole. Preferably, the intermediate conductive layers are spaced apart from the via-hole, and particularly from respective lands (125,150), in order to reduce the capacitance of stray capacitors associated with the via-hole (without losing the shielding effect provided by the rings).

    Abstract: A Plastic Ball Grid Array electronic package of the Cavity Down type particulary for use in high-frequency applications. In these packages the substrate has a cavity for receiving an active device (chip), which is usually attached to the substrate by means of the layer of glue. Due to the small dimensions of the chip and the gap between the chip and the cavity walls, it is extremely difficult to control the right quantity of glue in the dispensing operations. When the chip is pressed against the bottom of the cavity the glue may overflow and damage the circuits. According to the present invention, a secondary cavity is created inside the primary one and acts as a reservoir for the glue in excess.

    Abstract: In the manufacturing process of electronic modules a problem could arise when the modules have non-flat top surface. This is due to the fact that most of the automatic picking tools uses a vacuum nozzle to pick and place the module. According to the present invention a flat feature (a cap or a stud) is added to the module. This flat feature can be either fixed on the module or removable after the manufacture in order to reduce the dimensions.
