Abstract:
In order to improve signal to noise ratio and reduce electromagnetic interference, it is presently contemplated to connect ground potential on an electronic package mounted to a printed circuit board directly to a commonly grounded surface of a device via an improved die ground lead with a first end connected to an electrical circuit within the electronic package, and a second end extending away from the electronic package and compressively contacting, rather than forming a bonded or soldered connection to, the commonly grounded surface. By way of example and not limitation, the improved die ground lead may be any one of a tie bar, a metal lead, a pogo pin, and a spring. The use of this configuration for the ground connection between the electrical circuit and the commonly grounded surface results in significantly less physical distance than conventional ground paths for electrical circuits within electronic packages.

A printed circuit board includes a signal layer, an insulation layer, and a reference layer. A transmission line is located on the signal layer. A probing pad is located on the transmission line. Two aligned slots defined in opposite sides of the reference layer leaving a connecting portion. The slots and the connecting portion are in vertical alignment with the probing pad. The signal layer, the insulation layer, and the reference layer are configured in a cascading order. An arrangement of the signal layer in relation to the reference layer including the slots and the connecting portion reduces a capacitance effect caused by the probing pad.
Abstract:
A package substrate free of malfunction or error even with an IC chip in a high frequency range, particularly an IC chip with a frequency exceeding 3 GHz, is provided. A conductor layer 34P on a core substrate 30 is formed to have a thickness of 30 μm and a conductor circuit 58 on an interlayer resin insulating layer 50 is formed to have a thickness of 15 μm. By making the conductor layer 34P thick, it is possible to increase a volume of the conductor itself and decrease resistance. Further, by employing the conductor layer 34 as a power supply layer, it is possible to improve a capability of supplying power to the IC chip.

An EBG (Electromagnetic Bandgap) structure includes a magnetic material portion at least in part. It is preferable to arrange the magnetic material portion close to or, if possible, in contact with a conductor forming the EBG structure, for example, at least a portion of a ground conductor, a conductor producing a capacitance, and/or a conductor producing an inductance, such as a via. Examples of the magnetic material portion include a ferrite plating film, a composite magnetic material layer including magnetic powder and resin binder, and the like.

The heat-conducting interlayer contact portion connects the heat radiation terminal to the electrically isolated metal layer.
Abstract:
A power source terminal and a ground terminal for a semiconductor integrated circuit are connected to a conductor pattern through a capacitor. The conductor pattern is connected, through a filter, to a plane conductor connected to neither a ground plane nor a power source plane. Thus, a common mode noise arising from between the power source and the ground is caused to flow into the plane conductor. This reduces the common mode noise flowing in the ground and the power source of the printed wiring board, which relatively act as antennas.
