There are provided a multilayer wiring board and a method of manufacturing the same. The multilayer wiring board according to an aspect of the invention may include: a main body having a plurality of insulting layers stacked upon each other, including a first layer provided as an inner layer and a second layer provided as an outer layer; a first resistor provided on the first layer; and a second resistor provided on the second layer, connected in parallel with the first resistor, and having a smaller area than the first resistor. The multilayer wiring board obtains a target resistance value using the first and second resistors formed on the first and second layers. The second resistor, formed on the outer layer, can have a smaller area than the first resistor. Accordingly, the usable area of the outer layer is increased to thereby reduce the size of the multilayer wiring board.
Abstract:
An auto routing method and system provides optimized circuit routing while maintaining proper reference return paths for critical signals. Critical signal paths are auto-routed simultaneously with corresponding reference return paths, and the reference return paths can be merged into reference planes if they are adjacent to regions connected to the same reference net. The reference return paths may be in a plane adjacent to the signal path plane in the same channel, or the reference returns may be routed in adjacent channels in the same plane as the signal path. A check may be performed on endpoints of each critical signal path to determine whether a reference return via is present within a proximity tolerance of the signal path endpoints, and a reference return via placed if not.
Abstract:
Manufacturing circuits with reference plane voids over vias with a strip segment interconnect permits routing critical signal paths over vias, while increasing via insertion capacitance only slightly. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. In order to provide increased routing density, signal paths are routed over the voids, but disruption of the signal paths by the voids is prevented by including a conductive strip through the voids that reduces the coupling to the signal-bearing PTHs and maintains the impedance of the signal path conductor.
