Abstract:
A wiring board includes at least one signal layer, at least one ground layer, at least one power plane, at least one power supply via that electrically conducts wiring over one substrate surface where a semiconductor device chip is mounted, wiring over another substrate surface, and the power plane, and signal wiring for performing signal transmission between a plurality of semiconductor device chips. The power plane is placed to the one substrate surface side than the signal wiring. The power supply via is composed of a large diameter aperture and a small diameter aperture. The large diameter aperture has a relatively large diameter and is formed from the one substrate surface to the power plane, and the small diameter aperture has a relatively small diameter and is formed from the power plane to the other substrate surface.
Abstract:
In a module, press-fit connection using a pin terminal including a connection part separated into two parts and a flat plane parallel to the lengthwise direction in the separation part and perpendicular to the separation direction of the pin terminal is performed. A through-hole of a board is structured so that an inner diameter of the through-hole at a middle part in the thickness direction of the board is smaller than that at obverse and reverse surfaces of the board and the length of the middle part of the through-hole connected to the pin terminal is shorter than the length of the flat plane of the pin terminal.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a printed wiring board in which solder bumps of a mounted semiconductor chip are less prone to be ruptured. The printed wiring board includes a coreless substrate which includes: a dielectric layer having a main surface and a connecting pad embedded in the dielectric layer. The connecting pad is shaped like a brimmed hat. That is, the connecting pad includes a plate portion whose diameter φ1 is about 95 μm and a contact portion whose diameter φc is about 75 μm. The main surface of the contact portion is exposed at the main surface of the dielectric layer. Since diameter φc of the contact portion is substantially the same as diameter φ2 of an under bump metal at the semiconductor chip side, even if mechanical stress is applied in a direction in which the semiconductor chip is peeled off from the coreless substrate, the stress disperses evenly to both of the connecting pad and the under bump metal, and thus rupture is less prone to occur.

The trough pattern serves as a non-cylinder via structure having at least an elongated hole for heat dissipations so as to reduce a working temperature of an electronic device.

Abstract:
Construction of printed circuit boards (PCBs) containing electromagnetic shielding and conductive tubes forming signal lines and/or waveguides. The method of construction calls for forming of grooves through layers of the PCB and coating the interior surfaces of these grooves with conductive material. These conductor-coated groove walls serve as conductive surfaces between embedded conductive surfaces on different layers. The conductive surfaces thus joined form a continuous electrically conductive surface that can be configured to act as an electromagnetic shield. Such conductive surfaces may be configured with internal conductors to act as a signal line, or without internal conductors to act as a waveguide.

Afterward, a third metallic layer is formed on a part of a wall of the strip shaped through hole, and the third metallic layer is electrically connected to the first metallic layer and/or the second metallic layer. The third metallic layer functions as the passive circuit.
